Remember that walk-in closet renovation? Well, after publishing the before closet makeover tour, I came down with a case of covid. Everything came to a screeching halt for a week while I was quarantined in the bedroom. But as soon as my time was up, all systems were a go. We hauled out all the clothes, the old closet system including that[...]
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. If you saw last week's post, you know that the stone for the fireplace arrived last week, and I decided to throw my hat into the One Room Challenge. Nothing too for[...]
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[...]
Holy Hannah! How has it already been a week? Time is flyin', so I guess that means we've been hard at work on the One Room Challenge. In case you missed the debut post, you can get all the deets and a peek at the mood boards on ORC Week 1 here. Present state of the space — The Boy ripped the carpet out and we have a clean slate!

In case you haven't heard the news, it was just announced that I will be one of the One Room Challenge Spring 2020 featured designers! Holy scream emoji! Exciting right!?!?!? When I first discovered the One Room Challenge, six some years ago, I was in the middle of a makeover in the guest bedroom in our old house and completely befuddled[...]
Today is demolition day which means the kitchen remodel is in full swing. Can I get a woot woot? While I might be snoopy dancing to the sound of sledgehammers and saws, I must admit a kitchen remodel has put me on a bit of a learning curve. There’s no room for screwups, and attention to detail is a must. So first and foremost, I have t[...]
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[...]
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 out, ri[...]
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 all the same wo[...]
