The Hunt is On for a Beach House!
A few weeks ago, I shared in Love Letter (sign up here so you don't miss any future revelations!) that I got this overwhelming feeling that I want to design a beach house. It happened while I was snorkeling on a recent trip to Bora Bora, and the colors that I saw just inspired me, […]

How We Made Our Hidden Door in the Bonus Room

We made it to our new house!! The roller coaster of getting here and why we can't move in yet.
We made it to our new home in North Carolina!! We're in Cary, just a few minutes outside of Raleigh. It was our daughters' first time seeing the area and the house and it was the best feeling seeing them run from room to room just squealing the whole time. My oldest said, "Can we […]

Our Team's Moving Stories
Exterior Reveal, Faux Boxwoods It's hard to believe those two photos above are just two years apart. As much as the house behind us changed, we've been through a lot of change, too--beyond aging very quickly apparently. We talked about why we're moving to NC (back in this post), but we wanted to share the other sides […]

Designing A New Staircase (Everything you should ask yourself!)
Designing our main staircase was something that crept up suddenly, but I am so honored and happy I am able to do! The original plan was just to swap out the treads and handrail for oak to match our new floors that will be going in, but when our contractor said, "anything else? now is the time […]

What projects are happening before we move in to our new house?
A week ago, we were flying to Raleigh to close on our new house, set up security, and meet with a slew of contractors before flying back home to Idaho on Thursday. It was a whirlwind week but by Friday, we already got photos from our contractor--the Brazilian cherry floors were already all removed on […]

Meet our Colonial home in North Carolina!
On Monday, we flew into Raleigh to close on our new home there! (If you missed why we're moving, you can check out this post and why we chose Raleigh right here.) The home is a beautiful, classic, red-brick Georgian-style colonial just outside of Raleigh. Right when we pulled up to it, we got that […]

Casual Friday: The new house's style, spring dresses, an incredible kitchen, light in a home and more!
This was one of my favorite houses in Raleigh that we looked at, as far as the exterior went. Unfortunately the spaces inside and the backyard weren't right for us, but I'm so happy to see someone else snatched it up. It felt so cottage-y and traditional and cozy. All of my favorite things. One […]

We're moving to.......!!!
A couple weeks ago, we announced the difficult decision we made to leave our dream home here in Idaho – the house we thought was our “forever house;” the house we are inching more closely to finishing every day – for a warmer, more temperate climate where I can get better care and hopefully have […]
