The first day I walked into the Ruby project, my wheels started turning: how do we make this house functional for a modern family while keeping as much of the original charm as possible? In the kitchen, we added square footage and ceiling height to blend old with new, but the rest of the house […]

Some design projects stick with you, and Ruby was one of those for me. It was a long labor of love over nearly two years of renovation, filled with setbacks, finding treasure in the walls (that’s another story), and doing my best to fight to keep her character while bringing her functionality into this century. […]

Well folks, it’s been two years since I last blogged about the Bonnie House project. Here’s what happened: It’s been a long process, and to be honest, our Ruby project house took up the majority of everyone’s time and energy because it was so much bigger (more on that coming soon). But today, I’m thrilled […]

I can’t believe our guest room doesn’t have a permanent place here on the blog yet! It’s time to change that, and what better time to share pictures of a moody green bedroom than on St Patrick’s Day?

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve already met Bonnie. She’s an adorable 1940 brick cottage with a sassy little roof swoop over an arched front porch entry. We closed on her on January 8th, and are SO excited to get started renovating and bringing her back to life. I believe that every house has a sort of soul, and if you can get to know a house, it’ll tell you what it wants to be and look like. Maybe this is why I love old homes–they have stories to tell. And just like people, the more time you take to get to know their stories, the better you’ll know them and what they want to be. Bonnie is no exception.

All the befores for what will be a gorgeous modern Victorian renovation.

It’s the final tour of the Green Hills House project–secondary bedrooms edition!

Our Green Hills House project sold earlier this summer, and over the next couple weeks I’m going to be sharing the final lovely details and tours with you. Today we’ll start with some wallpaper and butcherblock in the dining room and kitchen.

Doesn’t it always feel like there’s one small area of a project or renovation that takes up the majority of your time and energy? Either because it’s difficult, very important to the end goal, or something just keeps getting in the way of completing it? In this case, the primary bedroom and en suite bathroom […]
