Comparing Home Office Spaces Then and Now

When we first moved into this house, we weren't exactly sure what we wanted this front room to be. We had thoughts about it being a music room/sitting room, but the longer we lived in this house, the more we realized that we needed a formal office space for work and everyday life! The study […]

Transforming the Study Into A Formal Dining Room + 4 Setting the Table Tips

Every night for dinner, we sit around the round table in the dining room. For breakfast, the girls usually sit at the island. And when we have company over, it's usually a combination of both or we eat outside. But I really wanted another overflow option for a formal dinner. Nothing permanent (we don't have […]

Repainting the Study and Rethinking the Study

At the beginning of May, we repainted the Study a light blue and I never really reported on the blog because I didn't know what else to SAY about it. Sure I liked the new color but everything else still felt like questions I didn't have an answer to. It hadn’t even been two months […]

The Music Room Becomes the Study + a Mood Board

When I tell you my jaw hit the floor when we rolled out the mural wallpaper...I mean I squealed out loud! The music room in our last house was kind of a pass-through room. It was small, and the only thing that could really fit in it was a piano and guitars, so we added […]

Every day we discover more things that never made it to us in the move. It’s difficult not having a list of what’s in that sealed storage unit in Idaho that we don’t have access to and with each passing day, we realize that we may never see some things again. This week, when those […]
