If we’ve learned anything during this renovation, it’s flexibility. Almost nothing has gone according to plan thanks to the chain of events started by the pandemic. Supply chain shortages, shipping delays, labor and cost inflation, you name it. Once we learned it would take more than a year for the main kitchen appliances to arrive, […]

We’re overdue for some Stagg Mountain Modern progress updating and there is a lot to share (Have you been following the Instagram highlights on @jenniferstagg? That’s a great place to get caught up on construction!). While much has been happening, it’s not moving at the project pace we are used to… and definitely not the […]

Well hello there. Let me officially show you around the Lower Level Living Spaces of Stagg Mountain Modern. I don’t think we’ve formally introduced you yet, and it’s high time we did (especially given the fact it already looks DRAMATICALLY different now than it did when this tour was filmed and photographed!).

At Stagg Mountain Modern, the majority of bedrooms are on the lower level. The home is a sprawling rambler (though we are adding an upper level addition over the garage), built on a mountainside. Because of that, the bedroom/bathroom wing is daylight and doesn’t feel like a basement at all. If you remember what this […]

Not every room will be finished when we move into Stagg Mountain Modern. In fact, much of the house will be what’s called “white boxed”, or have white painted sheetrock, flooring, and simple finishes until we make them a priority. Anna and Vive’s bedrooms fall into this category, so I’ve come up with a soft […]

It’s been a bit since we talked through the plans for a space in Stagg Mountain Modern. We’ve been so swamped with construction, I haven’t had as much spare time to share the inspiration for what we are turning the home into. Today I’m sharing the inspiration for what Ruby’s room will be, and I […]

Moving is very unsettling. It turns your world upside down and maybe even more than your world, the world of your children. We aren’t moving far which means schools and friends and activities have stayed the same, but just the act of our girls leaving the only home they have known/can remember has been tough. […]
