My 2 biggest mantras throughout this renovation have been “just go for it” and “it’s only paint.”

Since you got a sneak peek in my last post about the upstairs bath, I figured it was about time to talk about our doors. Doors are one of those things that the husband and I both had really strong feelings about…and luckily those feelings didn’t contradict each other.

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a fantastic, relaxing holiday weekend with your loved ones. Anyone excited to be back at work??? No? Not you? Yeah…me neither since it means the long weekend of major progress the husband and I made on the house is over 😦 but alas, some of us need paying […]

HEX TILE PATTERNS…HELP!

November 28, 2017.Reading time 4 minutes.

It seems I’ve found myself in another design nerd dilemma, and I need your help! For those of you who have been following along, you know that our master bathroom has been designed for a while. The plan is to have a very timeless black and white design with a bit of a retro feel […]

AN ACCENT CEILING?! YES PLEASE!

November 7, 2017.Reading time 3 minutes.

One of the rooms that I’m perhaps most looking forward to seeing come to life is my craft room/office. It’s the one room that I’m really taking a bit of a risk in and we’re going to be PAINTING THE CEILING! I know **gasp**! It’s the next best thing to wallpapering the ceiling which the husband […]

For those of you who follow the husband or I on Instagram, this will not be news to you…for the rest of you…THE FLOORS HAVE ARRIVED! Boy was Monday a challenge (and the bruises on my arms would have to agree)!

MASTER BATH DESIGNING

October 11, 2017.Reading time 5 minutes.

As our rough-in plumbing nears completion, I’m getting more and more excited about our reno jobs starting up again. I know a lot of you think I’m crazy, but the prospect of tiling and painting makes me so happy! Being covered in paint, thin-set and grout – yes please!

KITCHEN COUNTERS & THE HUNT FOR QUARTZ

September 27, 2017.Reading time 9 minutes.

While I may be getting a bit ahead of myself, I simply can’t help it. All of the decisions that are being made about things that no one will ever see (I’ve learned a lot about plumbing supplies the last week) have gotten me missing shopping for pretty things. As a result, I found myself […]

BUILDING WEEK 1!

August 18, 2017.Reading time 8 minutes.

So a lot has happened in the first week of building…A LOT (if you’re just visiting for the first time, you can start here to see our Little House on a Hill as we originally bought it a couple of months ago). The crew took down the roof – talk about a shock! – and they’ve […]

IT’S KITCHEN DESIGN TIME

August 9, 2017.Reading time 3 minutes.

Now that demo is over, it’s time to start buckling down and finalizing my design choices. I’ve had a very specific design in my head for my dream kitchen for YEARS and the fact that it could actually become a reality is somewhat mind-blowing to me.
