Guest Room Progress + A Light Paint Matched to a Skirt

We are rolling right along over in our Guest Bedroom Makeover. This past weekend we finished up the trim + paint, installed the bed AND switched out the ceiling fan for a chandelier.

Console Table Makeover

Well, I'd say the first week of October is a good time to come back from summer vacation :) We had a great summer and really did try to lay off home projects and enjoy all the work we had done

Laundry Room Remodel - Intro

This is the first of two projects we have in the works over here on the home front and I'm SO EXCITED!!! If you remember, this laundry room was one of the rooms I was the most jazzed about when we moved into this house.

Guest Bath Remodel - THE BEFORE

Late last year, amidst being 100 months pregnant, the holidays, Croix's Birthday, wrapping up projects before maternity leave, our Patio Project and Croix's big boy room + Custom Closet projects we decided it would be a good idea to add one more tiny little thing to our plate - the remodel of our downstairs guest bath.

Pool Update - The Selections

How appropriate, that as summer slips farther and farther away our pool gets closer and closer to the finish line? Good thing that sucker is going to be heated! Ha! Oh, well such is life and in all seriousness we are just excited to have a beautiful, finished back-yard, no matter the season.

You know the stage where I agonize for days/weeks/months (please no) over the final details. While we work on bringing that all together, we have simultaneously moved on to the bunk room aka Croix's Big Boy Room!

Croix's New Bathroom - Part 1

The Croix is moving on up....as in literally moving upstairs. More details on that later, but before we start working on his room, we decided to tackle his new bathroom first.

Ding Dong

Having a pizza delivered has been a little awkward at our house for a while now. Odd I know, but when you have a doorbell that looks like something out of a serial killer movie, it's no shocker the delivery guys give us the side eye as we open the door to get our goods.
