We've hit the ground running with the modern fireplace makeover, but I want to focus a bit on custom fireplace design and what to expect when dealing with a stone fabricator.

This is when time starts to slip outta your hands because you get cocky. Case in point, instead of painting the French doors last weekend, I decided to sit in the driveway and[...]
We're screamin' into Week 3 of the One Room Challenge and have reached the point in construction where every room is covered in dust and the house is a disaster. But that's where the magic happens, am I right? At least that is what I'm telling myself. If you've been watching my Stories on Instagram, you know the tile is installed and we'r[...]
