When we purchased our home last year, we started out using one of our three bedrooms as a home office. Our plans were to eventually convert the unused formal living space in the front of the house to a home office down the road, as we have a bigger family room in the back of the house that we use as our primary living space. When we found out we were going to have a baby, I figured this would be a good time to tackle this project.
Hello again friends. So here I am, smelling like skunk surrounded by bowls of vinegar,
Bringing you the first room reveal of our new house: the living room! It’s a real mixture of the snug and the drawing room from the old house.

Originally it was a sitting/dining room combo. Now it is a double craft/sewing and craft island/table room.
I may have taken a break from blogging, but Micah and I didn’t break from renovating. This Christmas will go down as the holiday we spent working. Literally. Micah worked all of Christmas Eve and half of Christmas day. We’ve vowed to not start a project that close to Christmas again, but we’re done and couldn’t be more in love with the results – even the guy who disliked much of it from the start! See the process here, here, and here. To remind you of where we started… Last we talked we were here: mostly built and ready for paint. We added the rest of the picture frame moulding thanks for the encouragement 🙂 and then it was time for paint prep. Also known as, the worst part of any reno. I spent a full day filling and sanding, and Micah did all the caulking. We spent most of […]

Welcome to the 3rd installment of What We're Loving! Each month, we'll be sharing all the things we stumbled upon and felt compelled to share this month. We're talking recipes, products, new books, and most importantly, decor. Check back every month to see what's inspiring us. A Modern DIY Bathroom Organizer from Paper & Stitch I love the idea of a DIY organizer, especially when you've got a small space to work with and want to stray away of those icky shiny metal organizers. The raw/natural look of it is great, but imagine would it could look like if you took it a step further with black paint. Check out their post on how to make it yourself here. Sunburst Door Handle I stumbled upon these uniquely designed door handles this week and am in LOVE. You can purchase here. They can be made custom for any width of door too! Abstract Peel & Stick Wallpaper Imagine each time you needed to do laundry, you could walk into this space? It would go from one of the most annoying house chores to one of the most pleasant in a matter of seconds. It's bold and might not be best for a common space in the home, but laundry, kids room or nursery are a perfect place to experiment with something wild. And when it's peel and stick, you've got nothing to lose! You can get it here on Etsy. A 70's Style Sunken Living Room But For The Outdoors I've never stepped foot into a 70's style sunken living room but have seen my fair share of them in movies. They seem a little hard to decorate with furniture but are a great place to gather a group for a party. Which is why this outdoor sunken space is calling my name. DIY Fluting Tables I'm starting to see these gorgeous dining tables popping up on Instagram and Pinterest and while the real deals can cost $4600+, there are so many DIY articles coming out to show us how to make it happen for WAY less. Check out these two DIY table projects you can tackle this weekend: Via Britdotdesign Via Goldalamode.co Terrazzo Bathroom Tile Terrazzo patterns are popping up all over the place but this bold look in bathrooms is really catching my eye.
