Update! If you’re looking for a tutorial on how to install live-edge floating shelves, I put together a detailed one using the wood left over from these shelves: How to Hang Floating Solid Wood Shelves. I also made a live-edge bench with another piece of the same wood! A few days ago we finished a major […]
Kitchen Update
Sorry for falling down the rabbit hole a bit there, guys. The truth is that ever since I started painting my kitchen, I’ve been doing very little else during my waking hours. Prepping, painting, and sanding has all been super time-consuming, and I’ve been obsessed with getting this project done. To the point where I […]
Kitchen Before & Inspiration
When you move into a new house, you have to prioritize your changes based partly on difficulty and motivation. And over the year and a half we’ve lived here, the difficulty of the renovations we’ve made has been ramping up. But one room we’ve just been chipping away at is our kitchen. When we moved in we replaced […]
Bedroom Tour
Many months ago I posted about making a mood board for our bedroom, and a couple of weeks ago when I posted about finding a location for the hanging geometric himmeli gems I made, I included a teaser photo of our bedroom. I’ve been meaning to share a tour ever since, and here it is! This […]

I started putting together my entry, and then literally while I was in the hospital, I got Steven to finish writing it and submit it. Ironically, since we got home from the hospital, we’ve had […]

Closet Makeover
So remember this tiny room, with its super gross carpet and bright blue walls? Here’s a reminder: Last week I tore out the carpet, and intended just to repaint the floors and leave the walls for another day. Underneath the carpet, the wood was painted brown in some areas and red in others. But once […]
Living Room & Dining Room Before
One of the first projects I’m tackling in our new house is repainting the living and dining rooms. They’re the first rooms you see in the house, and while neither Steven nor I hate the current color, it’s not what we would have picked out. Here’s what it looks like now: That ceiling fan/light fixture […]
