I'm so excited to finally share our complete three-season porch! The porch was one the first projects we started tackling when we bought our house back in 2015, so this makeover is a long time coming. Each summer we tackled a part of the room. First, we got rid of the ugly drop ceiling and added bead-board to the lofted ceilings. There we existing 2x8's which we wrapped in rough cut cedar to make them look like rustic beads. We added a ceiling fan to keep the air moving in the por[...]
Welcome to the tour of our baby girl, Harriet's, nursery! The space was inspired by the photo I took in Joshua Tree about a year ago that's hanging about the crib. I love the tones in the photo and overall natural, relaxed vibe that is Joshua Tree. Watch the video tour of Harriet's nursery on my YouTube channel!

It's been a long process since we first started tearing out the old paneling and finished almost 10 months ago!

Last weekend, my sister and I went to our first estate sale. It was a bit more of a warehouse sale, but I came home with a few goodies! https://youtu.be/woBzn1DLm84 Here's what I got... This adorable mid-century chair that swivels. I'm thinking of adding it to the nursery, but it's in desperate need of new a upholstery job! I want to get this map custom framed and then hang it above the fireplace in our basement! It's the perfect size to fit our new fireplace surround. I scor[...]
Our basement remodel project is really starting to take shape! We've been working most weekends since the beginning of spring to get the space to where it is today. We've definitely got our sweat equity in this home - and lots more to come! I'm so excited to share what the space looks like now. It's come a reallllllly long way since we first bought our home in the summer of 2015. If you've been following me on instagram you've seen lots of sneak peaks (because I'm terrible with secrets) and wil[...]
It's finally here! A tour of living room and dining room! Our home has a traditional 1950s rambler layout - small dining space between the living room and galley kitchen. This room also shares space with our front entry, which is partitioned off with a very mid century modern half wall and geometric shelves. We bought the house about 2 years ago (man, how time flies!) and we've been slowly renovating it from the top down. I'm the type of person who's always 'decorating' my home.[...]
