I decided to do a quick photo dump of our entryway here because this space deserves a permanent spot on the blog! Am I right?

Backstory….we bought our 1920s craftsman home 5.5 years ago and one of the things that convinced me that we needed to buy this house was the front porch! They just don’t make them like this anymore!

Everything we used in this space were things we already had! And it’s amazing what a little creativity and rearranging can do to a space.

In our home (and in a lot of the houses we renovate), we have a SLEW of wall textures that we added in to create even more drama and layering to our spaces. Take a look at some of our favorite!

When I came across this pair of vintage arch beds (for $40 TOTAL mind you), I couldn’t help but see the endless possibilities!

This past month we have slowly begun to transition our girls into a shared room, therefore revamping this space was a must! This vintage inspired design theme; combining both found and new items has helped create a space that is timeless and classic.

An update on our office space-a look back on what it was and what it is now + what we still have left to do.

What if I told you Joanna Gaines financially funded the first year of our website?

When searching for the right nightstand to accompany our newly refreshed bedroom, we compiled a list of 9 of our very favorite nightstands and all under $160. Shop them out below by clicking on your favorite one!

We get asked so frequently about our floors and how we refinished them but would you believe me if I told you, this is the second time we refinished them in LESS than 2 years???? Why would anyone be that crazy you might wonder. But the answer is simple really.

I’ve always loved the look of wall sconces but in full transparency adding additional hard wired electrical was not really an option for us living in a 100 year old house with lath, plaster, etc. So the next best option was to find a wall lamp that had a clear cord we could minimize the appearance of a cord at all.

Everyone always tells you, never paint a small room a dark color because it makes the room feel even smaller and I’m not going to lie, as a designer, I have told many clients that myself. But there is something magical about dark, high gloss paint that is just hard to explain.

When we started refinishing our floors back in March, I knew that the entryway was going to be next on our “to do” list. Why? Because entryways (IMO) are incredibly important. 1.) They are the first things people see when they walk into your home, and 2.) they set the tone for the rest of your house as well. Is it warm? Is it inviting? What does it say about YOU?

It’s HERE! The new chandelier is HERE! It took me a loooooonnnnggg time to pick THIS beauty out but when I finally pulled the trigger it was such a sigh of relief.

People often get overwhelmed when trying to figure out where and how to add texture but let me make it way easier for you. There are 4 different (and super easy) ways that I like to add texture to my spaces.

I wanted to add a vintage gallery wall to my house but I couldn’t figure out where until we redid our hardwood floors and stairs and suddenly it was like the heavens opened and I saw the perfect opportunity!

I’ve been wanting some vintage bistro chairs for a while now and while you can find them relatively inexpensive, I’ve really been challenging myself lately to be super creative when it comes to this challenge and see just how cheap I can buy things! So….I searched the good ol’ Facebook marketplace for a couple weeks and saw these old bistro chairs come up for sale for $10 a pop! I was like OK! I can do that!

I have been wanting to move the table to this part of the room for the longest time because it just MAKES SENSE to use this window bench. And bonus it gives us a large open space here in the center of the dining room that for so long was crowded with this table and chairs. However, so many people have since asked…but what about the chandelier in the middle of the room?

The whole goal with this space is to simplify and declutter! Like I mentioned last week, we want this space to move from more farmhouse to mid-century modern with a vintage spin. And while I truly loved the look at design of what you saw in week 1, it truly wasn’t functional for our family

This is our first time participating in the One Room Challenge and we could not be more excited! We are featuring our dining room in this challenge and while it may seem “finished” to most of you, we are actually in the process of restyling our entire home and transitioning to a more simplified, mid-century modern aesthetic.
