This season provokes us to think about what we are thankful for. While I hope to have a posture of gratitude throughout all 12 months, I welcome any reminder toward it. This year, I was thinking through ways I could do just that, but only for me and Mike; not everyone else. I’ve been seeing …

Garage Entryway Project: Final Reveal
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
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
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 …
