Ah, I get such joy out of the littlest things. When I was designing the layout for the kitchen I knew I had to have the stove on this wall. But this door to the pantry and electrical closet couldn't be moved so I just had to work around it. I decided to put two … Continue reading Pantry Door Handle

The kitchen counters have been installed! We got the Cortina Quartz and are super stoked with it. The installers did a great job. Hopefully this weekend we can get the backsplash done. And then we need to build the hood. And finish caulking the trim and touch up paint and this kitchen should be done! … Continue reading Kitchen Counters
Projects on the house are now being done in little spurts. Not one room is completely finished. While we finally got all the base moulding done on the first level, there is still a ton of caulking, sanding and painting to do. I think the bedrooms are the closest to being completely done. We just … Continue reading Update: Master Bedroom
Our front door is in an awkward spot. This is the view from the street. It is around the corner to the right. Here's what the side view used to look like. The white door IS NOT the front door.

I ordered them last week - they were having a Black Friday sale that I couldn't … Continue reading Appliances

I'm back!!! I can't believe it's been so long. And let me tell you, life has changed drastically for the better! We ditched Southern California and moved to Colorado. And loving every minute of it. I've been dreaming about this move for a long time and I'm ecstatic that we were finally able to do … Continue reading Victorian Farmhouse Adventure
I've been a cleaning and organizing freak lately! Look at me go - another project in the bag! This little desk has been sitting in my garage for, oh, almost 2 years. Poor thing. It's so cute! And now... So pretty! I sprayed it with Moss Green Satin from Rust-Oleum. And surprisingly, it only took one … Continue reading Rattan Chevron Moss Green Table
