Our Bathroom Renovation: Designing for Us (and Saying Goodbye to the Bathtub)

Our Bathroom Renovation: Designing for Us (and Saying Goodbye to the Bathtub) We’ve lived in our old 1880s farmhouse since 2014, and ever since move-in day, this main floor bathroom has been sitting there… taunting me. It’s the bathroom everyone uses — our guests, our kids (when they’re downstairs), and it also happens to be the one my husband, Derek, and I share. Yep. No bathroom in our bedroom. We’ve been making it work like civilized adults for years… mostly. This renovation has been on the dream list forever. We wanted it to feel functional and beautiful. The “before” setup […]

Our laundry room renovation this winter was such a fun project! From Derek’s first tile installation, finding the perfect neutral paint color for the cabinets (“Mouse’s Back” by Farrow and Ball, aka “Mouse’s Turd lol), to adding the highly debated cafe skirts.

Here’s a before shot: I started with ripping out the old carpet, which proved to be a HUGE challenge because it was glued down. All the

Attic Floor Reveal!

Before & After, Home, Project

Our attic floors are done and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out! This attic project started over a year ago, and to say we are exhausted is an understatement BUT getting to this point feels so good! Now I LOVE wood floors, but all along we had planned to paint the floors because of the huge gaps and areas that needed to be patched. Painting allowed us to seal up the big gaps and repair/smooth out the dangerous spots while giving it a cohesive look. We knew that repairing, sanding, and refinishing them would be a TON
