The 10 big projects we accomplished during our fir

The 10 big projects we accomplished during our first year in our new (old) home 🛠️

Share this with someone who loves a good before and after🤗

1. WALL REMOVAL #1: Removed a non-structural wall that separated the living room and kitchen. It gave us a solid 4 more feet of usable space in our small living room and made a HUGE difference in the look and feel of this home🤩

2. CLOFFICE. My husband, who works from home, had a designated 3rd floor in our previous home and literally NOWHERE to call his own in this one - except for a corner of our room. Luckily we were able to swap an extra closet from a guest room to ours that was big enough for an office!

3. VENETIAN PLASTER WALL & MANTLE: The previous mantle was way too high and the brick wall made it impossible to hang our TV and hide its cord.. So I used Venetian Plaster to cover the brick and built a custom stone veneer mantle🔥

4. WALL & DOOR: Building a wall between these two living spaces downstairs made it so much more practical for the way our family wanted to utilize the space. Now our kids have a functional playroom where they can play, be loud and store aaalll the toys… and we can hear ourselves think😉

5. STORAGE BANQUETTE: I built a corner banquet that opens up for storage and serves as seating for games, coloring, crafting, etc.!🎉

6. DROPZONE: We desperately needed someplace to store shoes, backpacks, bags and jackets by the garage door where we come in and out of the house. Thankfully, there was a closet here that I could open up and turn into a little mudroom area🙌🏻

7. LAUNDRY ROOM GLOW-UP: The previous laundry room felt extremely makeshift and dysfunctional. It had no room to fold clothes, pipes were sticking out of the wall and it originally had ugly lenoleum flooring. It’s still small and cramped but makes MUCH more sense🫶🏼

8. BUTLERS PANTRY: I’ve always dreamt of having a butlers pantry and was beyond excited when I realized it would be doable here!

9. DISGUISED THE FRIDGE: We moved the fridge into the closet under the stairs to make more room for a large range and cabinets.

10. REMOVED STRUCTURAL WALL: I mean🤯

Almost exactly a year ago now, I got so fed up with the wall that separated our kitchen and living room - so I removed it😆 Swipe to see 👉🏻

This is the first of two walls we took out in our kitchen. This one wasn’t structural but the other one was!

What are some questions you have about the wall removal/renovation process? Drop them below and I’ll try to help!👇🏼

A little kitchen progress update!

I’m getting ready to do some work in the kitchen this week and I realized I haven’t shared much about it since we’ve started renovating! So.. consider this part one of the kitchen reno update😉

If you compare the two versions, you’ll see we moved the fridge to what used to be the pantry closet under the stairs and removed the wall separating the kitchen and living room. What do you think of the updates so far?

Stay tuned for more!

This 7 ft olive tree is currently on sale for under $100 and I couldn’t not share🤎 FYI: my planter is a whopping $18 at Costco if you’re a member! Otherwise I linked some similar options. Happy shopping!

Looking for a bold, but still neutral wallpaper for your next project?! Try this one!👇🏼

It’s by @northandfinch and called ‘Clara Floral’ (save this post for later)! In my opinion, it will look best on a full accent (single) wall or with a 2/3 wall treatment on the bottom (DM me with any questions).

I used this traditional wallpaper in our playroom and couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out! I opted for a 2/3 vertical shiplap wall treatment on the bottom which I think is perfect for the bold and busy pattern this wallpaper features🥰

Let me know if you have any questions in the comments!

Ironic that the view outside our ‘Florida Room’ (aka: sunroom) is snow today🥰

I haven’t shared much about this room, but it’s easily one of my favorite spaces in this home of ours. Since we removed the wall separating it and the kitchen, this is the view while I stand at the kitchen sink and do dishes… it doesn’t suck👌🏻🥹

A magical FL snow day with my babies❄️🤍

When we moved here from Atlanta last year, I was sad knowing there wouldn’t be any more winter mornings waking up to snow.. so this feels like a little wink from God reminding us we’re exactly where we’re supposed to be☺️
