How To Style Built In Shelves

I took you through the more nitty-gritty of building the fireplace built-in's, and now it's time for the pretty stuff. Getting to pull my decor stuff out of the boxes they were packed in and get my styling on was SO FUN. Hello, beauties that I haven't seen in almost a year! This is my happy place, guys. A reminder of where we left off with the built-ins... And what it looks ... View the Post

How To Choose The Right Gray Paint

The bathroom is inching sooo much closer to the finish line. In a house with tools and dust everywhere, and many not-even-close to finished spaces, this room feels like a little gem. We didn't do things in the right order in this room as we just desperately needed it to be functional, so one of the last tasks was getting it painted. Obviously this would have been much easier before all of the ...

One of the larger decisions we had to make in terms of interior finishing were the floors. We knew from the very beginning that we wanted a continuous look throughout the house.

installing IKEA kitchen cabinetry: our experience

A few weeks ago, in this post, you saw the design and direction for our IKEA kitchen. We purchased all of our cabinetry and some appliances (dishwasher, hood range) during one of IKEA's kitchen events, which I totally recommend. We walked away with about $1600 in a gift card to use on future purchases. It has come in super useful already, considering we're at IKEA on a near-weekly basis these ... View the Post
