House Tours

Our Spring 2024 House Tour in Photos

April 26, 2024

You know you're in April when every week I try to schedule our house tour to be filmed, we get clouds and showers. Plus, our contractors decided to start installing the windows on the same week we wanted to photograph, so we literally were working around ladders. (All the behind-the-scenes drama that you don't see!) But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as the images we were able to take really evoke that cozy factor within the moody modern traditional style that I love.

Looking back at what we've accomplished in our home since our January 2023 house tour is a surreal moment. It feels like seeing an old friend, but one that has matured and grown up alongside you. One that is even more a part of the family than it has ever been. It's a reminder to take photos of your home in its evolutionary state — to save the stages as you change over the years so you can revisit your progress. One day, maybe we'll look back at these photos and think, "wow! remember when..."

Our remodeling journey is full of twists and turns (never a dull moment - and that's 3 years in!), but I love the direction we've headed. Without further ado, please join us on our spring 2024 house tour in photos! (If you want to see how everything flows together, you can check out the house tour video here!)

My Storage Hack for Organizing Christmas Decorations

Every year when I pack up the decorations after Christmas, I collect all of the garlands together in one box, I get all the candlesticks together in another box, and all my nativity sets go into their own box. We label the boxes "garlands," "candles," "nativity sets,"...which seems great until you remember that you have […]
