Our 1970s Basement Update: Before

Before & After House & Home February 5, 2019February 4, 2019 by Kristin

Guys, let’s just call our basement a “bonus floor!” What I mean by that is there is no chance we’d be jumping into a full-fledged basement renovation with our budget and home & life priorities. But since the structure is there, we’re able to do what we do best: see something that’s already existing and …

Chalk-Painted Filing Cabinet Turned Pantry

Before & After House & Home January 22, 2019January 22, 2019 by Kristin

Well friends, I might have painted this in November, but I’ve been waiting for a great moment to share this fun little makeover with you! Honestly, this phrase probably gets overused, but it truly is amazing how much a little paint can do to freshen up a piece of furniture! I know I talk a …

Before & After House & Home January 8, 2019January 6, 2019 by Kristin

Happy New Year, tribe! I hope you had a wonderful time celebrating with friends and family over Christmas and the New Year…and for so many of you that didn’t, if it was really tough, I’m sending you my love and hugs. I’ve taken the last few weeks off of writing content and blogging and have …

Low-Budget Half Bath Update

Before & After House & Home November 6, 2018November 4, 2018 by Kristin

We’ve been taking it slow the past month, so while I’ve been dreaming of projects, we haven’t been working on any. We’ve soaked in the moments of October and the joys of the season. It’s been so good for us to step away from the “doing” in our house and just enjoy it. But don’t …

Kitchen: Breakfast Nook & DIY Shelves (Part Two)

Before & After House & Home October 23, 2018October 22, 2018 by Kristin

Last week, I shared the before and after of our little kitchen – the biggest renovation we’ve competed to date! Today I’m excited to share with you the other half. The Breakfast Nook I can’t tell you how many sketches I made of this nook. How should we set it up? Where should the seating …

Kitchen: Before and After (Part 1)

Before & After House & Home October 16, 2018January 6, 2019 by Kristin

Guys, can you guess which room in our house that was almost the cause of us not purchasing it? I think I probably already gave it away by the title of this post, but it was our kitchen! So many aspects of this 1950s Tudor bucked the trend of the time, with spacious rooms and …

Garage Entryway Project: Final Reveal

Before & After House & Home September 25, 2018September 24, 2018 by Kristin

I’m so happy to proclaim: the entryway project is complete! This past weekend, I added the finishing touches and pretty details and I’m thrilled to share it with you today. We love our 1950s home, but it certainly didn’t come with all the modern spaces we love in 2018 – like a mudroom. Sometimes, when …

Garage Entryway Project: The Problem

Before & After House & Home July 17, 2018August 27, 2018 by Kristin

We love a beautiful space as much as the next person, but if it’s not functional for our family, somethin’s gotta give! The entryway hall from our garage has become a little prettier than the first time we laid eyes on it. It’s even become a little more functional, but it still isn’t working for …

Before and After: The Great Grass Growing Project

Before & After House & Home June 28, 2018June 27, 2018 by Mike

Ok, you’ve asked for it on Instagram, so here I (Mike) am with a birthday (happy 33rd to me) update on a project I’ve been working on for the past 15 months. I intentionally split up this project into 2 phases for sanity’s sake because planning a wedding and actually trying to get anything else …

  • Galentine’s brunch this past Saturday + construction paper hearts sprinkled everrrryyywhere. 😂💗😍 So thankful for an opportunity to start my morning with my girls and for this 4th annual tradition!

  • It’s a holiday in here at our house. First day of the (longest) season! 🏁 #nascar #nascarwife #nascarlife
  • If beauty is in the eye of the beholder than this thing is straight up gorgeous to me! 😍 Our basement ceiling was a hot mess + my nemesis the past few weeks. Instead of installing drywall (budget + access to old ceilings) we went with what made sense - which was just improving the drop ceiling that was already existing + adding can lighting. What do you think? Better than before?

This is the kind of DIY that I only truly enjoy for the outcome! Give me all the crafty/painty DIYs. However I do it because it stretches our budget! We wouldn’t have been able to do as much as we are if it were not for us trying to figure out how to DIY! Anyone else in the same boat?

Next up on the list is to add the rest of the ceiling tiles throughout the rest of the basement and then I’ll start patching + priming the walls!!! Eep! 🙌🏻 If you want to see all the BEFORE photos, check out the 1970s Basement Update blog post #link in profile.

P.S. The last photo is how the previous owner used the space - for their daughter! (Plus the drop ceiling grid was painted pink to match the walls. 🙈)
  • An early Valentine’s evening that was full of me making this face 😂, a lovely dinner at @cozyscafeandpub, and making our biggest furniture purchase to date at @ashleyhomestore - but oh so excited! This was our first time exchanging gifts for Valentine’s, but we both had been holding on to these ideas for awhile, so bourbon for Mikey and a duplicate @graceandvaliant pillow cover to match my favorite! 😍

When I said I love you for the first time three years ago, I wanted to make sure I said: I love you because I love you. I first heard it in a sermon by Tim Keller: “Honey, I love you just because I love you. Yes, of course, there were many things about you I admire that drew my eyes to you, but those were the *occasion* for my love. The *cause* of my love is I love you because I love you.” ❤️ A beautiful, imperfect picture into the love of Christ for us - he doesn’t love us when we are all “put together”, but instead he enters our mess to rescue, redeem, and to give us new life. Happy Valentine’s Day friends!
  • 💗Hearts for days. Bringing you our Galentine’s inspired shelves covered with construction paper hearts, @aldiusa roses, $1 balloons (thank you Dollar Tree!), and finished with a sweet little banner from the @target Dollar Spot! 😍 Do you decorate for Val or Galentine’s? What are your go-to items?

If you want to see the rest + a short little guide to host your own Galentine’s celebrations (oh, and a free hand-painted card printable! 💗) it’s up on the blog: link in profile or redeeminghampton.com.

  • MY GALS! 🎉 I created something just for you - and yours! 💗 A FREE printable Galentine’s Day card + a short guide to hosting your own Galentine’s celebration! 💗 Both are available on the blog today, #linkinprofile or redeeminghampton.com. 😍

The week surrounding February 14th was always pretty tough for me – being single and feeling like it magnified my season of life. So a few years ago, by command of Leslie Knope I started gathering my lady-friends for brunch – we call it Galentine’s Day! I honestly love this created holiday, because when do we NOT need a reason to celebrate our girlfriends?

This small gathering of close friends means so much to me, as it was these women who have had such influence in shaping me into who I am, with God’s help. Have you ever celebrated Galentine’s Day? Tag your gals and show them some love in the comments!

  • How was your weekend friends? Here’s a sneak peek at a little something that’s coming to you tomorrow! 💗😍👩🏻‍🎨🎨 Can you guess what it is? A hint is that’s it’s one of my favorite weeks - that starts with a Gal instead of a Val. 😉
  • When you stop by the furniture store to get a fabric sample and they give you an *entire pillow* to sample instead! 🙌🏻😍 I raced out to the car to take this photo to send to my husband, but had to share - the elation is real. 😂  Also some @target Dollar Spot finds that I couldn’t resist! 😉🎉
  • ✨I’d love to know!!✨ I’m in the planning phases of something just for YOU and something that would really help me is if you shared your “pain points” in your home or maybe what spaces/corners/walls/windows you’re looking to give a refresh. 😍Comment below!

I know some of you are at the phase in your life that you can renovate an entire space. Some of you are looking to refresh a room. And some of you are just looking for inspiration for what to put on your mantle next to your TV! It can get overwhelming - can I get an amen!? I have a huge desire to help you in your home so you can be present with the people and life in front of you.

This tribe here at RH - you guys - are so diverse in your interests, styles, passions, and even where you call home, whether that be a college dorm room, your forever home, and everywhere in between! ❤️ You’ll hear me talk about celebrating “the process not the sprint” often, because that’s usually how life & working on our homes goes (which is usually the opposite of what we want!) - and it’s definitely how our soul grows! And that’s a good thing.
