Last summer I was contacted by a sweet, young couple to help design the master suite in their newly purchased Dallas home. The Farahmand’s had a few requests for their new space, which included a nice big tub, great storage, and green hues included in the color scheme. After meeting with them a few times, I knew this would be such an enjoyable job! Nari and Freddy were in the midst of moving from their apartment to their new home when…
Before renovating our house, I heard from several people that a house renovation was one of the most stressful things a marriage can go through.. and they were absolutely right. You have to deal with money, time management and PEOPLE. So, if you survive a house renovation together, you can pretty much survive anything. We dove into our home renovation project shortly after celebrating our first wedding anniversary. Even though we had been together as a couple for 7 years…
When we flipped our house, one of the top priorities we had was the kitchen. We wanted everything in the kitchen to be as perfect as we could possibly make it, and that included having a nice pantry. The first apartment we shared didn’t have an actual pantry, so the only space we had for food storage was the fridge and a few cabinets. Not the ideal situation. Our pantry now might not be the biggest, but it’s just what…
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…
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…
