Below is what our bathroom looks like as of today! We have plumbing and electrical!!! Very exciting. Right now I am in the process of narrowing down our choices for vanity, lighting and tile. I already know we are doing a claw foot tub, but needed to know the rest! I thought I would share part of the decision making process. Inspiration Photo- I ALWAYS find an inspiration photo. I don't go looking for a new photo, I just look back at photos I have saved and look for a common theme. And one thing I noticed about bathrooms is I always save bathroom photos with a clawfoot tub ... Read More

Remodel & Elevations PLUS What I Bought from Serena & Lily Black Friday SALE
You are not alone if you have found yourself wondering if we are REALLY going to do our renovation! I shared WAY back on August 4th that we were going to do an addition to our home (on this post). Everything always takes a bit longer than you wish it would. I have been sharing on Instagram Stories the progress, and a lot of progress has been made this week!!! We did decide on a contractor so that was a big update that I never shared. We had two bids, one was about 50k more than the other and we had worked with contractor that was less anyways, and really like him, he has done other things for ... Read More
We are Remodeling our Home! See our Design Plans….
We have decided to remodel our home with an add-on!! Eeeek!! Very exciting stuff around here. I have to admit I was nervous about going though with it. We had a realtor come over and give her thoughts and it wasn't what we thought she would say about our home. Our home is not on the "perfect street". One street front or back would be more ideal to remodel and do an add-on. But I disagree. We bought this home. The yard is not one you often find in this area. And the home itself is an emotional purchase. We loved a lot about this house more than others that made us emotionally buy it. And now ... Read More
Small Space Living Series- 110 sq ft Kitchen Tour
I am excited to have a guest feature today! Morgan from @thewhitefarmhouse is inviting us into her kitchen. I am including it as a Small Space Living "Mini" Feature. The kitchen is about 110 square feet and her entire home is 1800 square feet. It really is just an amazing before and after! They also made great use of the space by adding in a cabinet to her dining room to use as pantry storage. She totally makes it work. They are a family of four living in Michigan in this charming house. Let's go see inside... (I linked all the sources at the end of the post). The kitchen ... Read More
Small Space Living Series- Kitchen Cabinets and Organizing Tips
When we moved in these cabinets were a dark brown, not my favorite. We knew that there weren't many options for cabinet placement so we opted to just have the existing cabinets refaced and new doors put on. The reason for refacing rather than painting was the style needed to be updated. New molding, larger doors etc. What we did not do and should have done when we remodeled the kitchen was paint the inside of the cabinets. 3 years later it still felt unfinished. So for my Mother's Day gift to myself I started with one cabinet and bought all of the organizing things to really maximize this ... Read More
Small Space Living Mini Series- Kitchen Edition
As part of our Small Space Living Series I want to do a smaller series on just kitchens! Really this is my favorite room to see in homes. Kitchens are the heart of the home and really still can be in smaller homes. We are peeking into Nicole Dingle's kitchen! They are living in a 1100 square foot home and guaranteed you would not guess it by looking at this kitchen! They were very smart when they remodeled to open it up and make the most use of the space and to allow more storage. Love how open it feels and the painted white brick that was original to the home! So ... Read More
Take Home Designer Series- New England Kitchen Tour of a Dietitian and her Paleo Granola
Do you remember the show "Take Home Chef"? It was on TLC. The cutie pie Curtis Stone would approach people in the grocery store and offer to go to their home and cook them a meal. I LOVED that show. My favorite part, besides watching Curtis Stone :) was seeing inside everyones kitchen. I thought it was fascinating to see the space that people spend so much of their time in. That is what got me to go to the grocery store after I had my first baby, hoping to run into Curtis Stone. So this is my version, where I go into charming New England Homes and share pictures of their kitchens. And only ... Read More
Built-in Kitchen Banquette Reveal
I am so excited to share our FINISHED Built-in Banquette with you! I shared back on THIS post in January that we really wanted to add a built-in banquette to our tiny kitchen. And I have talked about this banquette a lot since then, can you tell how excited I am about it?! If you have read my blog before this post you already know that we had a cozy little settee in our kitchen that we were using as a banquette. I was REALLY sad to see that settee go. It was comfortable and good looking settee and held a lot of memories. I was willing to part with it to gain some extra seating and ... Read More
New Roman Shades in the Kitchen
When we moved into our house two and a half years ago we remodeled the kitchen a few months after moving in. The kitchen was so depressing to me. I hated being in it. It just felt dark and heavy. We had put off remodeling the kitchen right away because we thought we might do an addition to the kitchen. But we decided to put off the addition and reface the kitchen cabinets and get new appliances and tile. The finishing details were the window treatments. I knew I wanted to do roman shades but just didn't know where anyone local to make Roman Shades that were inside mount. I happened to be ... Read More
Easy Family Healthy Dinner Idea with the Hardest Working Appliance!
My mother in law jokes that we have the hardest working kitchen in the country! She may be right. We cook at home and feed our family of five whole foods everyday. We also love to have house guests and entertain. (YES, you CAN entertain in a small home!) When we are home, we are generally in this kitchen space. So I need my appliances to be 100% practical and useful! I am going to share a super easy family healthy dinner idea all made in the hardest working appliance. I have had to ditch appliances that I only occasionally used. And I am totally thrilled with this new appliance, we had family ... Read More
