The IKEA kitchen in our post-renovation house is finally getting pretty darn close to the finish line. There is still that pesky 5% left. You know - the small details like caulking and painting the trim that you just can't seem to get around to doing. On the whole though, we can pretty much call this one done. A gray and white kitchen with a classic and timeless look. All on a budget, and a ... View the Post
Get The Look: Mediterranean Beach House Decor
I recently got an email from a reader named Tori - a mama of 3 who just completed a full house remodel on her mediterranean beach house.

Industrial Condo Makeover: The Reveal Part 2
You saw the after pics of the living room of my recent condo redesign project earlier this week, so I'm back with the rest (check out all the before shots here). Here is the kitchen! Not too much actually changed in here (the cabinets and finishes were already great), but we needed to amp up the cozy factor.
