The kitchen reveal has been a loooong time coming! If you follow me on Instagram you have watched us renovate our house pretty much down to the studs since we bought it in December of 2020. One of our first…

I am basically always window (ahem, internet) shopping. Here are a few things that have been on my wish list (and that cookbook holder… literally years! I think I know where my birthday cash is going!). Keep scrolling to see…
Whole Home Renovation – Dustin’s Iowa House, Before & After

Kitchen Refresh – A Little Elbow Grease for My Dream White Kitchen
