Caroline’s room was the first room we started working on in our house…and the last one to be finished. When we first moved in there was a lot of decorating momentum for this little space…and then Caroline went through a horrible phase where she would completely destroy her room during “quiet time” and we ended …
Home Improvements
We were warned by some friends that the 5 most expensive words during a renovation project are “while you are at it…”. It’s true. Throughout the process we tacked on several projects — some big, some small. While these expenses weren’t exactly planned for, we are so happy we went ahead and checked these home …
Last year I polled my lovely readers on what the heck to put in our entry way wall niche. The most popular vote was to patch it up and the second most popular vote was a bronze statue of Matt. Unfortunately for Matt, I secretly slid in the patching project to our kitchen renovation. So …
Alright friends, this is my last kitchen renovation update I wanted to share before I do an official kitchen reveal. Oh, and the reveal probably won’t be for awhile — still tackling the last few items on the punch list, waiting on our backordered fridge to arrive, need to order bar stools, decorate, take photos, …
Progress went a mile a minute since I shared our framing + drywall photos and our kitchen is now complete! Even though things are finished now I’m going to take a few steps back and share our cabinetry today. Also, this is kind of a huge reason why we picked Atreum to work with… Kitchen …
We are on week 4 of our kitchen renovation and things are moving along great! Since my last update Atreum has finished the framing, completed the electrical work, a gas line was run for the cook top…and we passed inspection! Then the fun part…drywall! Watching the walls go up was surreal. We continue to be …
Our dining room is currently serving as our kitchen these days. Knowing this would be my temporary kitchen for the next few months I wanted it to be as functional and organized as possible to keep me sane! In perfect timing, Matlin, the founder & lead organizer of minimized, was over for a kitchen consultation …
Demolition day was absolutely incredible. When I left for work my kitchen looked like this… And when I returned from work it looked like this… To finish demolition, we had to wait for an engineer to come out the following morning to install a new support beam to replace the load-bearing wall. During our morning …
Last week we began our kitchen renovation and we could not be more excited. When we originally purchased our home the plan was to renovate the kitchen and master bathroom. However, after completing our bathroom we had major decision fatigue and needed a break from saw dust so we decided to put the kitchen off. …
Our latest ginormous home project we have been tackling is our backyard! When we moved in it looked like this… To be honest, I didn’t think it was all that bad. However, Matt’s vision went well beyond anything I could have ever imagined for this space. He saw plush green grass, tons of open space …
When we purchased our home one year ago we had some major issues with our master bathroom. The house had been a rental for several years and was not loved on in the same way a homeowner would care for a house. During inspection we learned the master bathroom floor had been rotting away (possibly …
We’ve been busy tackling a few more house projects since my last exterior update. Nothing like hosting an upcoming party to get ya motivated to check a few more items off the list! Am I right? Flower Beds & Planters Refresh The warmer weather last weekend brought Spring fever to our house so we spent a lot …
