Renovations

  • Little by little we have been updating the kitchen here in the 1820. When we first moved in, there was wallpaper with birds, and a border to compliment with bird’s nests; dark cabinets and exactly one light fixture that left us squinting at night just to see what we were eating

    In the 10 plus years we’ve lived here, we’ve made quite a few changes to the pulse of our house, and this latest upgrade is now the crown jewel of our farmhouse kitchen.

    Check out this amazing backsplash, along with some epic before and after photos. You won’t believe your eyes!

  • Every year in the wintertime, I find myself in total nesting mode. With cold temps and the garden off duty for a few more weeks, it’s all about inside projects. Whether I’m reorganizing, rearranging,  or just plain putzing around, I’m all about the homey feels. It’s funny – when you’re stuck inside, you really notice the wear and tear the floors take over the year. It’s like, I see something and I think to myself, How long has this floor been so tattered? Was I under a rock?

    Not only were they scratched, but downright impossible to keep clean. It was time for a stair runner install. I priced out carpets and installations, but I figured since it’s not wall to wall carpet, and a small square footage, then we would go ahead and tackle this project ourselves.

    Turns out, installing a stair rug runner is much easier than you would think. A project that took just over an hour, here’s the easy how-to!
