Room Inspiration | Outdoor Kitchens

When we remolded our home 6 years ago, we, I ran out of steam. I couldn’t make another decision or pay another bill.  I didn’t want to buy furniture or complete the finishing touches that make a house a home.  This past year or so, I’ve been trying to complete a few of those projects that either […]

We have a gas fireplace with a weird looking modern, but not in a cool way, face on it.  I have been wanting to give this part of our family room a facelift for a long time.  I wish we had not taken out the big brick wood burning fireplace that used to be there. […]

Inspiration | Entryways

It’s no secret that I am a certified purger.  Let’s call it professional editor.  I’m constantly in a state of editing our home and find myself incredibly gratified by the look of a clean surface, empty drawer or lightened up closet. There’s something so inviting, like the possibilities are limitless.  I feel like work is […]
