BEFORE When we bought our home 7 years ago, the upstairs felt like it was mostly unfinished, other than one room – the guest room. Our first move was to finish the open attic room, dry walling it, and adding electric and flooring. We did that almost immediately when we moved in, and it then became Charlie’s bedroom. In the rush of day-to-day life we…
With holiday decor almost around the corner, I wanted to share some quick and easy DIY and decorating tips for the Fall season that have brought my space to peak coziness. Sometimes really small things make a huge impact, and most of my decor is really cost effective as well! I applied all of these decorating tips into the Pumpkin Spice Suite that I partnered…
BEFORE I designed Hudsons nursery 7 years ago, when I was pregnant. It was orange, and fox themed, and so so cute! When we moved from our apartment into our current home, I shifted all of his furniture from one room into the other, and then as he got bigger, I used a lot fo quick fixes to make the space more functional. His toddler…
For my first DIY of the year, I’ve been working on transforming Hudson’s room into a big kid room! His room became very hodge-podge, with bits leftover from his nursery mixed with hoards of toys, baskets shoved in corners, and not much organization. The bed he’s been sleeping in since he is 2.5 (he’s now 6) was a teeny IKEA bed that we were ready…
Hello! Hi! It has been a while since I have updated this space, and there’ a lot of reasons behind it – one being that I am working on something super exciting behind the scenes that involves a lot of planning and writing, and has been taking up a lot of my time! But I want to get back and share details on a lot…
Hello and Happy Monday!!! I’ve been working on this post for a while, but life continued to get in the way – but I wanted to share a how-to on adding this big checked accent wall, since checkered pattern is so trendy right now! It is very doable, and you only need a few important tools! What I needed: A laser level – I would…
BEFORE: When we purchased our 1974 A-Frame in the Catskills back in March of 2021, our immediate thought was “how are we going to get more natural light into this space?” We’ve never had this issue before in any of our previous homes, because we have always been super specific about only purchasing or renting homes with nice natural light. I really believe that natural…
I am so excited to finally share a (mostly) completed living room reveal for our A-Frame home! I’ve been working tirelessly on finishing up the space before the winter hits, and other than small details like a custom entryway DIY I have planned, everything has mostly come together in a way that feels cozy and complete! Every piece I’ve picked for the A-frame has had…
This post has been a LONG time coming, but with the kids home during summer for more hours, and my schedule being all over the place, I sadly neglected this space and have so many posts and ideas I’d love to share + will try to force myself to sit down and write! Over the summer I spent two days repainting the countertops of our…
BEFORE + AFTER I am such a slow poke on the blog front lately, and for that I apologize! Between figuring out my kids new summer schedules, to seeing family as things re-open and managing the renovation of the A-Frame, I’ve had so much less time to actually sit down, write my thoughts out, and share the process of things as I go! But because…
If you follow along on instagram or Tik Tok, you’re already well aware of the fact that we purchased a cute A-Frame cabin in Upstate, NY. I never formally wrote about it yet, so I wanted to share some more details over here and our house story, and share a round up of the before photos. Sometime in the middle of 2020, after we sold…
BEFORE: I picked up this gorgeous corner china cabinet on Facebook Marketplace for $200, but in the photo it looked white. When Matt picked it up and brought it home, I was shocked to find out it was a weird neon-y lime green color! It wasn’t the worst color around, but I didn’t love it, so I decided to paint it! Painting furniture isn’t super…
Our record player is one of our most-used items in our home. We love to spin some tunes during dinner, and we’ve even taught Hudson how to flip the record for us! I’ve preferred the beautiful and nostalgic sound of records to digital music since I was in high school, and after going through many different record players, I finally feel like we’ve found a…
As we approach the two year mark on moving back into our renovated home, I’ve been slowly completing all of the smaller and more time consuming projects that have been on my list. One of them was creating a Board and Batten wall with hooks outside of my closet to store bags, hats, etc. and to add some color to an all-white space. I had…
At the end of December, I couldn’t sleep one night, and somehow landed on the idea of adding a faux fireplace into our living room. I loved that the concept would give us more space by removing our media console, I loved that it wasn’t too expensive and I of course loved the idea of decorating a mantel! The next morning I set out to…
One of the struggles of having an aesthetic living room space is hiding those terrible, ugly wires! Why oh why can’t wires be invisible haha! They really are so necessary, but such a pain, so I’ve been working to find solutions on hiding my own in a way that is safe, easy to access and also not noticeable in our space. I rounded up some…
One of the easiest ways to refresh a space is by swapping out the rug, and through the years I’ve gone through quite a few. I never splurge too much on a rug, especially with kids and a dog, and how fickle I am with decorating. I rounded up some affordable options below for neutral rugs I’ve been loving in this season of life! I…
I know that Spring doesn’t come until March 20th, but in my home decor, I generally leave Christmas pine trees up around the house until around late January, early February, and then I transition into a more “spring” feel. I’m not sure about you, but I just need a refresh by this point in the year, and something that feels new after all of the…
We’ve been in the market for a new sofa for a while for a few reasons – first, after we renovated the shape of our living room changed, and we suddenly had room for a sectional. Our previous sofa was smaller, and didn’t fit our space well. We also found our last sofa to be extremely uncomfortable and hard, but because we liked it aesthetically,…
Most of us do not live in giant homes. My house is “medium sized” but my living room space is small. It is almost like an apartment-sized living room within my home because when we renovated, we chose to allocate a lot of our space into our kitchen. I don’t mind the size of our living room the way it is, but I definitely needed…
