Casual Friday: Our Demo'd Bathroom!!!, Cottage Inspo, Exterior Paint Colors & More!
Demo on our bathroom happened this week and it was so shocking to see the space after it was completely cleared. I actually gasped. It seems to have grown 10x! My sister was so sure there must have been a wall cheated out somewhere. Our minds just couldn't get around the fact that this huge, open space […]

How Much Did the Closet Cost? A budget breakdown + Look For Less!
Occasionally, after finishing a big project like the Fullmer Kitchen or our bathroom renovation or the backyard--we share a budget breakdown. We get asked for them often and we get it, you’re curious what it costs to do projects like these! For some projects, it wouldn't make sense because labor varies so much from area […]

Our Exterior Siding Decisions that might Surprise you!
Last week we met with our contractors to decide once and for all what siding we were going for on our house and my goodness, there were a lot of decisions. The original design plan called for James Hardie Aspyre siding but our contractors encouraged us to look into LP SmartSide. Normally, I would 100% […]

3 Delicious Toasts to Try for Breakfast or Brunch
I don't eat breakfast often, and when I do it's usually late morning as the first of two meals I'll have the entire day. So when I have do eat that first meal, I love amping up something simple so it's special, but still easy. Huge fan of toast, for that reason. Sometimes I'll pair […]

Our Closet Reveal: From Thin Air to Dressing Room (The Ultimate IKEA PAX Hack!)
Pinch me. This is our closet now. And although this is a before photo, below, it's not really THE before photo, because this room didn't exist before! We added a ceiling/floor to a two story space and made it our closet. (Below is the music room for reference). The idea came in as we were […]

"Where does the bed even go?"
We’ve rearranged the guest room twice already, and we’re going in for round three. There's a lot that's "wrong" with this orientation. For starters, we centered the bed under the window, giving it a little room on the left for a nightstand — but it's so close to the wall on the right that you […]

How We Built the Dining Room Fauxdenza (and Why It's Not Quite Done)
Back in March, we built a fauxdenza in the dining room and it has been a wonderful, budget-friendly way to get a lot of storage for not a lot of money. It's called a "fauxdenza" because although it looks like a credenza (or sideboard), it's actually made with upper kitchen cabinets! It's an easy DIY […]

We're Back! A Big Life & Renovation Update!
There are ups and downs to every job, but I've always said one of the biggest downsides to this job--sharing our home online every day--is that the Internet never sleeps. It doesn't sleep when the baby sleeps or through illnesses or pandemics or summer. It's always there. So occasionally, we have to force ourselves to […]

Grilled Sugar Snap Peas and Mushrooms
The flavors of summer are lemon, garlic, fresh herbs, and whatever the grill adds during cooking. This dish takes all of those and applies them to fresh peas and mushrooms, and it's a winner. Make this dish to go alongside any grilled protein, or eat by itself as a light lunch. It just works and […]

Installing Pocket Doors in the Closet
Our closet has been a really fun project, and something that added tangible value to our home, both in square footage and utility. But ever since the room was created, we haven't had functioning doors. Until this week! Pocket doors are actually really simple to hang, once the frame is in place. The frame is the […]

Honey Mint Lemonade
I love lemonade, but I feel like most store-bought or restaurant-served options are too sweet, too sour, and/or make me more thirsty after drinking them than I was before. This is a simple lemonade that leans on natural sweeteners - honey and stevia powder - to make a refreshing and light drink perfect for summer […]
