Across the board, it’s safe to say that kitchens saw a lot more activity than usual this year. Between quarantine orders and social distancing restrictions, the kitchen really lived up to its reputation of being the heart of the home—turning into a safe haven of sorts for nourishment and quality family time. In some cases, these spaces even became temporary offices, business hubs, and classrooms.

How to Build a DIY Kitchen Cabinets. You can build professional kitchen cabinets and save thousands of dollars by doing it yourself.

Hi! My name is Courtney and I am so glad you stopped by my blog today. I love sharing ideas to help make your home a beautiful place without breaking the bank. My husband, Billy, and I are avid DIYers who have renovated three homes in the NJ suburbs of NYC. We are definitely not professionals, but we love the challenge (and satisfaction) of figuring out how to do things ourselves. We have learned so much from reading other blogs. Our hope is that with this blog, we can help you make your home a place that they can be proud of, affordably. We welcome you to follow along with our many projects and adventures! More about us: I am a mom to three boys, ages 14, 18, and 21. We also have 2 spoiled golden retrievers, named Keeper and Dax. So we have learned a lot about what works home decor wise (and what doesn't!) in a house full of kids and dogs. I am a certified elementary school teacher, but have been a stay at home mom since our first son was born (phew, those 17 years went fast!) Billy and I have been married 19 years. For his "day" job, Billy is a retired police officer currently working in security. That means we live a crazy life of ever changing schedules and no two weeks look exactly the same for our family. He makes this all worthwhile. And he helps me. With everything. We love spending time in the Adirondacks with our kids and dogs. And working on our house together. Check out some of our DIY projects here. We always have one that we are working on. Our Master Bath is our latest project and our most complicated one to date. We are very proud of it! Blogging When I started this blog, I had no idea how many opportunities it would bring into my life. I love the online community of talented people that I have become a part of. Our home has appeared in Better Homes and Gardens Kitchen and Bath Makeovers and This Old House magazine among others. Please contact me if you think we can work together. In my free time, I love to read, take pictures and hang out on the internet reading blogs and pinning ideas for our next project. You can find me on Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook. Welcome to my blog. I am so glad you're here.

Have you noticed more soft blues in your feeds lately? We have. Whether in a kitchen or a cocktail room or a bedroom, soft blue has been making its case as a go-to neutral, and this is one trend we wholeheartedly endorse. We have turned to soft blues like those pictured above in many homes throughout the life of Park & Oak, and if you’ve been following for awhile, you probably recognize some of our frequently shared projects. Here’s one from the early years, featuring Boothbay Gray, which our designers love for its balance of warm and cool undertones, and perfect saturation level. This is another earlier project, also in Boothbay Gray. More recently, we used Boothbay in this impossibly charming kitchen. And in this sophisticated dining room. But it can also be perfect in a kids’ bedroom. Or a bath. And even a laundry room. Looking for something with just a little more warmth? Try Duxbury Gray. Metropolitan is an even softer option, and contrast trim makes such an impact. Van Courtland Blue is probably the purest blue in the soft blue lineup, and it really makes this kitchen shine. And finally, Santorini Blue was just perfect in the […]
