Wow. I just realized it’s about to be a year since we moved in to our house. At the time, the house was far from being done. We basically didn’t have a kitchen and were missing a few details like the barn door in our closet, the actual closet rods, and some light fixtures. We had been working tirelessly the last few weeks and even though we didn’t have a move-in ready home, we were ready to live there. If working…
I am so excited to finally share a full view of our kitchen with you! *update* Our house was featured on Houzz! Read the full article here –> Houzz Tour feature 🙂 To be completely honest, this is our favorite part of the house. The kitchen has always been at the top of our priority list and I think I can safely say we achieved a dream kitchen. I talked a little bit about kitchen design in my last “fixer upper” post, so if you missed…
So you have a bar cart.. now what? Do you fill it up with whatever wine glasses you have at home? or bottles? Or better yet, just take anything alcohol related out of your kitchen cabinets and try to assemble that in the bar cart. Right? No? No! That’s actually what went through my head when we bought our bar cart, though. I had been wanting it for so long and when we finally brought it home I had no idea what…
Entertaining is one of my favorite things to do. I love having friends and family over for a glass of wine, light appetizers, dinner or all of the above. I love accommodating our guests and have been told I’m not too bad at it. So, I’d like to share some tips I’ve learned over the past few years of having my own place and actually being able to throw adult gatherings. Last weekend we had a lovely brunch date with our friends…
Oh I can’t tell you how much I love brunching at home. Going out to brunch is great, but when you can stay in your pj’s and then watch a movie in the comfort of your own bed or couch… need I say more? (maybe I shouldn’t let my hubby see this or we won’t be going out to brunch anymore, hehe) Weekends have been crazy for us this year. When we got married two years ago, we quickly got…
Hey there! I’m so excited to share with you a few more details of our recent home renovation! Just a heads up.. it’s a lengthy post. BUT, I’ve sectioned off each topic I’ll be addressing for your convenience. 🙂 So, we finally started the process of remodeling the garage a few weeks ago. It had been something we put all the way down to the bottom of our to-do list from the beginning but the more we waited to get…
Hey guys! So I realize this post is long overdue, but here it is! This will be the first of a few posts about our fixer upper. I want to focus on the different things that happened throughout the 6 intense months we spent working on our house, and when I say intense, I mean really intense. Think HGTV fixer upper, drama, surprises, tears, the whole thing. Now that we moved in to the house, we’ve been taking things slowly and it has definitely…
Last year we were blessed with the opportunity to buy a house. We love(d) living in an apartment where the most we ever had to do was submit a work order online if we had an issue.. it was great, but having something to call yours…that’s even better. Things have changed a lot since we started fixing our home, and now almost one month after officially moving in, we are still working like crazy! We bought what Chip and Joanna…
April is here and it’s unbelievable how quickly this year is going for us! Do you feel the same way? It’s a good thing for several reasons, but it also makes me anxious. Here’s why… a. I’m a teacher so this means summer vacation is just around the corner (yay!) b. we’re in the middle of renovating our new house and our apartment lease ends by the end of May. That’s next month! Anxiety feels all over right? Lately I’ve…
I have been wanting to share pictures of our place for some time now… but often plans get delayed and replaced with more important things. Like renovating an entire house. Which is also happening! It seems like just yesterday we were moving all of our things out of our first place and into our loft. We were so excited about decorating our loft and as soon as we did, we started planning for the house. It seems like the process of…
