Modern Efficient Laundry Room Before + After

Modern Efficient Laundry Room Before + After

The laundry room is quite possibly the hardest working room in our home, it processes textiles loved and dirtied by 5 individuals. This is what the laundry room looked like for about two years after we moved in. Ignored, but used so so so much. We were just too busy with other parts of the home to give it proper attention. Poor laundry room. You

Kitchen Quartzite/Dolomite/Marble Stone Slab Search

For anyone in the midst of a white and grey stone search in Chicagoland, you will appreciate the knowledge I am about to share! Due to our kitchen pipe leak, we needed to have our lower cabinets removed to repair the warped wood flooring. During demo, our existing Super White stone slabs broke in several locations and our grey backsplash tile was chipped; hence, our

Bullet Planters Before + After

Bullet Planters Before + After

One of our all time favorite purchases is our vintage style bullet planters! They were one of the first things my husband and I bought together for the first home we owned together in Minneapolis. We purchased them from Hip Haven in a soft lime green color. I can never keep things the same for too long, so after moving to Manhattan we painted them white and then to gold after

Children’s Play Kitchen

Children’s Play Kitchen

Currently, we live in a small apartment and really needed to separate some of the toys from the main living space. We have a neat little nook next to our staircase that did just the trick! The half-wall creates the perfect little space for our toddler. His new mini kitchen is a favorite spot for him to play. I gave the space some meaningful flair with the vintage tea towel

Whimsical Frontier Toddler + Baby Room

Whimsical Frontier Toddler + Baby Room

Designed for my toddler boy + baby girl, this room encapsulates childhood adventure and whimsy. Each child has an individualized space that was designed to appeal to their personalities. Bold patterns and bright colors unified these spaces. We all love the space tremendously and look forward to snuggle sessions in toddler’s bed every night! Some meaningful components: vintage Levi’s jacket found by my mother, 70’s

    2 weeks ago by agildedblog When designing my  #livingroom , I absolutely needed a  #gametable .Andy and I love playing board games ( #lostcitiescardgame  +  #7wondersduel  ) and sharing a bottle of wine after our kids go to bed. We obviously love family game time, too. This space is still not my completed vision (swipeto see future possible edits), but it has already proven to be an essential part of our multifunctional  #familyroom . Functionally, it is a great space for any project or activity (plus extra seating during parties) and behaviorally, it puts a greater emphasis on family bonding time.✨I envision having family meetings here one day... if
