Video: Our Fall Modern Colonial Exterior House 2024
I was so excited to share new photos of our entire house exterior a couple of months ago. But lately, the leaves are showing off their fall colors and the golden afternoon light has been a paid actor against the brick, ivy, and landscaping. There really was no other option: I had to take you […]

Fall Around Our House 2024
Some years, I go very spooky, gothic, dramatic Halloween, but this year, you may notice that I didn’t really decorate for Halloween at all. I stuck more with fall-themed decor as opposed to Halloween, because I could feel my energy running thin. Just a reminder: You don't have to do it all! Decorating for fall […]

Our Modern Colonial House Tour Video - Fall 2024
There's nothing like kicking off fall with a new house tour! I love making these videos. They feel like a bookmark in time, capturing the mood and the feeling of our home in the season of life we're in now. I have some newly redone spaces to share (the mudroom! Greta's bedroom! The landing! The […]

Our Spring 2024 House Tour in Photos
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!) […]

Our Spring 2024 House Tour Video!
It's always so much fun to do a house tour video for you to see things you may not catch when looking at photos. It feels like hosting a bunch of friends over to see what you've done to the place — without the clean-up afterwards....only lots and lots beforehand. As much as this house […]

Fall Around The House—Our Modern Colonial House Tour Video 2023
Here in North Carolina, we're entering what's known as "False Fall." The weather is beginning to cool, and the leaves are starting to turn, but after more than two years of living here, I know we're due for some more hot weather before we enter actual fall. Regardless of what the temperature is, I've been […]

Our Final House Tour
We're in the homestretch! Did you see that we're officially under contract? I mentioned in yesterday's blog post that it's a little bittersweet knowing our days are limited in this house. We move in June. I think it's okay to feel sad about leaving this house, AND happy for the new family that gets to […]

Video: Our Fall Exterior House Tour 2020!!
We're VERY close to being finished with our exterior and sharing a bunch of before and after images, but despite being in-progress, we wanted to keep with our tradition of filming an exterior and interior house tour in the fall. (Interior house tour forth-coming!) We were about a week too late filming, because we kept […]

2020 Spring Video House Tour - 1 Year In!
It's hard to believe it's been an entire year since we moved into this house. There have been so many ups and downs throughout the year but with every space we make our own, it feels more like home and we fall more in love. There are more roots established and ideas dreamt about. We […]

Yesterday we shared the plans for the exterior of our home, but one request we consistently get is to share more of our property! We figured now would be a fun time to share that, plus a little view of the current state of our home's exterior since it's about to change! We live […]

An In-Progress Video Tour of the First Floor (and Floor plan!)
With so many changes happening on the first floor of our house, I get so many questions every day about how it's all connected. So we thought it would be fun to share a tour of our main floor along with a floorplan that Chris drew up. Can you believe the photo above is NOT […]

A House Tour Where We Tell You All of Our Plans
Last week, we shared a quick 6 minute house tour, with no talking. Just smooth camera work gliding in and out of every room in our new home. But! So many of you asked to hear more about our initial plans for each space (just off the cuff kind of stuff) so Chris and I […]

Introducing: Our New Home!!
We're so pleased to introduce you to our new home. We've been on the hunt for a place that we could see our girls grow up in, maybe host their wedding receptions in the back yard, somewhere we could spread out and breathe a little bit and we found it 30 minutes down the road […]

Our home has been on the market for 2 days now (hooowwwww has it only been two days?! see the listing here!) and we are swamped with showings and keeping it ready, while juggling kids and working on finishing the Fullmer's kitchen before Kelsi has her baby any minute now. But in the midst of […]

Our Annual House Video Tour 2018
Every year, we film a house tour video (usually in the fall) to capture our home in that moment of time. Last year, neither our bathroom or closet was done, our bedroom was still dark, our playset was unpainted, our desk in the office was still super tall, our outdoor kitchen didn't exist, our reading […]
