    We Got The WORST House

    July 31, 2018 /

    This house was sad, beyond a fixer upper. The layout was terrible, a colony of squirrels used it as a nut warehouse, and the roof was better for letting in light than keeping out the rain. So naturally I just knew it would be our ideal family home.

    Sweet Stencil Wall

    July 28, 2018 /

    When we redesigned the layout of our new home we really wanted a playroom that could be closed off for noise control but that was visible from our kitchen, living room, and office.    We ended up with a playroom that is attached to the living room and office by two sets of doors. The new dilemma: how do you design a fun playroom that won’t cramp your adult style? Well, this adorable stenciled wall was part of our solution.

    I love the look of furniture vanities and how they allude to the past of dry sinks…however a solid wood vanity was just not in the budget and custom is more my style anyway. Enter this darling farmhouse vanity.

    6 months ago I made this DIY Faux Fur Rug. It was a simple project and less than cost half of a comparable size manufactured rug. I am sure many of you are wondering how it held up to our circus.

    Winston Churchill Was Right

    June 10, 2018 /

    Architecture and all the associated bits have fascinated me since a young age. I remember using pads of graph paper to create house plans with functional nooks and crannies like phone booths under the stairs, window seats, and secret doors. My idea of a fun weekend was, and still is, a litany of open houses where I can study layout, proportion, design, and live in a fantasy land of indoor pools, tea parties, balls, and basement basketball courts.
