Dustin bought his house 3 years ago and it needed a complete whole home renovation, top to bottom! The house was pretty much original 1983 everything so it was primed to be torn apart. When we first started talking, I…
Kitchen Refresh – A Little Elbow Grease for My Dream White Kitchen
For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted a white kitchen. As cliche as it is, I love anything light and bright! Our home was built in 2000 (or somewhere around there) and from what I can tell, it…
Gift Guide: What’s On My Christmas List – Home
Now that we are heading into our ninth (!!!) year of marriage and our second home together (sixth if you count every apartment too!), our home stash is getting a bit worn. Especially during our move this year, I had…
Oh You Fancy, Huh? A Simple Garage Door Upgrade
I’m huge on items that make a big impact for little money. I mean, aren’t we all? This little upgrade is so simple and inexpensive, but totally elevates the look of our house! I wavered if I should even do a…
Monochromatic Boys Room
One of the first projects we did when we moved in four months ago (how has it been four months already?!) was paint and decorate the kids’ rooms. They had been in a state of flux between selling our home…

We have finally made it! The fastest renovation in history. While we aren’t completely finished (I will break that down at the end), it is done to the point where it is usable and contractors aren’t in our home every…
Finishing the Basement: Now It’s Getting Real
My mother in law was up a couple weekends ago from Pennsylvania for Eloise’s birthday party. (Sidenote: She’s ONE? How?!). I was talking to her about the home, the basement, and organizing the house in general. Basically I was apologizing…
Finishing the Basement: We Have Walls!
Sorry for the delay. Between my computer charger going missing (it was in my living room…) and misplacing my camera cord (it was in the bag…), I was losing my mind. I have found out I am not one of…
Finishing the Basement: Before Pictures and Plans
Two weeks into owning our new home, my husband looks at me during dinner. “Want to finish the basement off tonight?” Um, yes. It was something that we were planning on having done, just the timing was never set in…
Settling
It happened! We finally bought our new home. Thank you for your patience while we get unpacked and settled into our new place. We are so thrilled where we are and couldn’t be happier. We took a much needed break…
