The house felt oddly quiet and still after so much noise and chaos these past two months🥺 Something about the void put me in the mood to dive head first into cleaning/organizing. Come back tomorrow for more!

As I was cleaning this space today, it hit me just how far we’ve come since this time last year🥺 This summer felt so much sweeter and it was in part due to the fact that I wasn’t taking multiple trips a day out to the hose to do our family’s dishes (rain or shine)🫠 Yikes.. never again lol

Have you ever lived through a reno? Drop your pieces of advice below! Mine would be to install a utility sink in your garage if you know you’re going to be without a sink for a stint👌🏻😅

Maybe letting my 4 year old pick his paint color wasn’t the greatest idea😅🤣

It never fails though - white/light/airy colors for young kids rooms are foolproof in my opinion!
What do you think of the transformation?

If you know Beckham, you know his favorite things are trucks and sports🚒🏈☺️

So, when I went to redecorate his room I was so excited to find these prints that make the perfect gallery wall for our sweet 4 year-old’s room🥹

Swipe to see what this little boys room looked like just a few weeks ago🫣

When we first moved in and were redoing the boys’ rooms, I felt a mama’s urge to help them feel more ‘at home’ as quickly as I possibly could.. so I let them make most of the design choices — including paint color😅. In this case.. it led to a room that felt almost impossible to transform into a 4 year old’s space - somewhere he’d want to play and sleep and just feel happy and cozy in..

Then came the news we were having guests for the weekend — and it was then that I suggested we give it a new paint color. To my surprise, my son immediately said, “can we paint it white?!” Yes, my boy🥹 Yes we can..

Stay tuned for more details of Beckham’s ‘new room’… it’s one of my favorite kids rooms to date🥰

Kitchen alcove reveal!✨

See my previous reels for more of the process! This project was surprisingly uncomplicated.. the hardest part was waiting for contractors to figure out how to get the ductwork installed between rafters and studs and pipes🤪 It was a long process but it was so worth it! What do you think??

Building our kitchen alcove frame✨

The main thing you have to think about when building one of these is the support you’ll need for your ventilation device. In our case, we have a larger/heavier vent hood to accommodate our 48” gas range, so I had to make sure it was surrounded by a frame that wouldn’t fall. Everything else was just about supporting drywall!

More info coming in a blog post soon!

It only took 18 months🫣😬

Between the layers and layers of paint, the back and forth of what sort of ‘vibe’ I wanted and the search for the perfect light for the low ceiling.. there were many factors that led to the drawn out finish of this foyer.

But I’m happy to say I think we’re finally there… for now anyway😉🤣 what do you think?!

We’ve lived here over a year and I went back and forth for WAY too long on whether or not this window needed drapes😅 Now, they’ve been up 24 hrs and my family has already made multiple comments about how much nicer/cozier/prettier this room looks and feels with these curtains by @twopagescurtains🥰 Moral of the story: add the curtains, friends! And use AFBLOG for 15% off your entire order!
