Rug | Curtains I’m so excited to finally share the FIRST REVEAL of many to come – our hallway guest bathroom! It’s actually more like Hudson’s bathroom since we added a third bathroom upstairs into our guest bedroom, but to me it’ll always be known as “the green bathroom.” Here’s what the bathroom looked like when we bought the house two years ago – very…
It has now been exactly one week since we moved back in to our home – YAY!!! – BUT the kicker is we’re still not 100% done. As I type this there’s tile guys here finishing some tile work, we have a punch list of things we need to finish, and our hood is still not working. But that is a renovation for you, they…
In the process of picking out fixtures for our house (ALMOST DONE – HERE’S A PROGRESS PICTURE ABOVE!!) I realized that it’s really hard to find gold hardware and fixtures! It seems like a tireless battle, and I had to dig really deep to find exactly what I was looking for, which was basic hardware that was not TOO elegant. Something approachable, but in gold! For…
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 As we’ve been ALMOST getting to the point of moving back in to our home after renovations, I’ve started searching for home decor, including new rugs. I realized there’s so many sites that I pop onto to find rugs, but I’ve never shared them all in a single…
As I mentioned last week, I’ve been posting to Youtube every single Wednesday! One of my favorite series that I’ve been posting is a series on my home renovation, with behind-the-scenes peeks at what really goes in to a renovation! It’s sort of hard to capture it all on the blog, so I wanted to send you over to Youtube, so you can catch up…
I know what you’re thinking – spring cleaning is SCARY. It’s messy, it takes a lot of effort, and it takes a lot of quick decision making in choosing what to keep, what to sell and what to donate. To be honest, I “spring clean” probably once per month because of my job, and all of the clothing I own, but I always do a…
via Our renovation is officially underway, and it is SO incredible seeing the space begin to be opened up, even if there’s no real walls yet! When we bought our 1954 home, there were so many unnecessary walls, and the space felt so tight. The kitchen was also all the way in the back of the home (if you’ve seen my Youtube tour, you know…
The time has ALMOST come for our BIG home renovation to begin! I am not sure if I’ve gone in to detail in a full blog post yet, but we are fully renovating the first floor of our house starting on February 25 (you can watch a full video with more details here). We’re going to be moving out for a few months (probably 3-4 months)…
It’s my very favorite time of the year, and I’ve been slowly making my house super cozy week by week! It’s our second Christmas in this home, but last year we were still unpacking so it felt very different – this year was the first year I felt like I could really start to build my holiday collection. My hope is to eventually have tons…
We have yearly Thanksgiving traditions, as I am sure most of you do, and they usually involve traveling to Miami to celebrate the holiday. For the past few years my parents have gone to Matt’s parents home, and we’ve all been together with Hudson to eat some turkey, share what we’re thankful for and celebrate all of the things that make us happy in life.…
BEFORE: Our dining room was the last room to see any love in our home. We knew we’d eventually knock down the wall dividing it from the laundry room (happening in 2019) so I didn’t show the space much attention. I didn’t even have a proper set of four chairs, so I used this random bench in place! Once I found out I was…
I am so so excited to finally share the full reveal of our side-yard/ patio space! A month or so ago I shared details on how I painted this pattern on the concrete, but I was waiting on a few pieces to share the full and complete reveal! Then once it was all done, I felt like every day was rainy, or not a nice…
I am getting prepped to fully re-do this room, since most of the furniture was thrown together from our last house (and the bench is there because we only had 3 chairs haha), but the first step I wanted to take was to add in an accent wall. This room always felt extremely stark white to me, and it lacked a pop of color. I’ve…
Every Fall, there’s a list of things that I absolutely love to do at home, just to make it feel a bit more like Fall, and to remind myself to slow down a bit every year. I’ve found that in our current house, it’s a lot easier for me to steer away from doing certain things because of this fear of THE MESS, especially since…
I wasn’t able to decorate for Fall last year and it was a huge bummer, because right around this time last year we were prepping to move into our current home. I was more focused on packing, prepping this house by painting and continuing to run this blog, so fall decor was about the last thing on my list! The year before, I had…
As most of you know, my office or technically my “cloffice” is set right outside of my bedroom. It has a separate entrance, and I recently hired my first true assistant to come work on this very blog with me out of my home-office! It can get super hectic in here, between shoots, steaming clothes, editing photos, and Claude running all around, so here’s…
BEFORE: If you remember our master bedroom in our old apartment, you can probably sympathize with us on our new master bedroom in this home. The positives were that we gained an entire home, which we’re so thankful for, but a huge negative was how tiny the master bedroom is here. Our home was built in 1954, so there wasn’t the same emphasis on…
As you may or may not know, I am working together with West Elm on a sister series, sharing a room reveal per month as we slowly renovate our new home. You can read about each room, and the process behind the design of each space over on their blog, but in case you missed their post I wanted to add the images on my…
I am sure we each have a space in our house that exists, but rarely gets used. It’s usually a corner, or a nook that we just cannot figure out what to do with, or that ends up storing older furniture we’re not enthused about. This was that corner for me. It housed an IKEA bookshelf that collected dust at my last apartment, but we…
When we bought our home, I knew right away that this A-frame attic had to be converted into a room. I’ve always dreamt of having an A-frame room in my home, I just didn’t realize HOW LONG it would take to make it happen! It was way more work than I envisioned, but in the end I am so so glad that we took the…
