We've finally finished the modern kitchen makeover on a budget, and today is the big day to share the final reveal of this beautiful renovation! Are you as excited as I am, or did you spy the feature on House Beautiful? It feels like forever ago, since I shared the kitchen renovation mood board. If this is your first time here, the lu[...]
Meet the tiniest room in my house that has been my biggest design challenge to date. An update on our modern bathroom makeover has been long overdue. Like waaaaaaay long overdue. Here's a quick walk down memory lane. Remember when the basement flooded, and we decided since we were forced to renovate, why not gut the bathroom? Well, every[...]
We are going strong here in renovation land, and I gotta say, install day is quickly becoming the Kyla's really happy day. It's when everything comes together, and the vision that's resided inside my head transforms into reality. AHHHHH! Last Monday, I shared the tile install in the basement bathroom, and today I'm sharing the Karndean v[...]
At the end of December, I dropped a bomb post stating I was certifiably insane. Yup, I started another bathroom renovation, but it was necessary. That basement bathroom was so dingy and yucky; there was no excuse not to update it. As long as we're getting dusty and Gerry and his crew were at the house anyway, why not knock it all ou[...]
Thankfully things are really starting to come together in the basement. Like, I can see a light at the end of the tunnel, and it isn't fogged up with construction dust. All in all, Gerry and his crew have made the whole process smooth sailing, but I can officially say drywalling is the worst. Word to the wise — the smartest thing we di[...]
The other week you got to read the doozy of a story about how The Boy broke the basement. Many of you sent me sweet messages saying, I'm so sorry...oh that darn deductible. How much will that cost to fix? Can it be repaired? Chin up. This is just so awful. How on earth did a sink do this much damage? You guys, these are al[...]
With all the Cubs hoopla, my Week 5 One Room Challenge post got a bit lost in the shuffle. But don't you worry that pretty little head of yours; we are on schedule and feeling fly y'all. Potty Paradise is almost complete, and Gerry and I are snoopy dancing on the Clé Tiles...okay, Gerry's technically not dancing like this, but I'm all...[...]
Seriously, how are we halfway through this challenge already? I'm exhausted and not even doing the heavy lifting. My poor contractor is dealing with my, "let's customize everything in the smallest amount of time mind frame"...oh, and hey Gerry, I also need you to fix a basement and yet another bathroom makeover. Can we all take a pause a[...]
Ooof! How has a week passed? Can you riddle me that? When you're knee-deep in the One Room Challenge time flies when your swinging sledgehammers. Gerry and his team are hard at work and so am I...finally picked a tile for the bathroom makeover, and lemme tell you, it wasn't an easy choice. Wanna get into it? Let's roll! First and[...]
