Our backyard oasis makeover
Excited to share a sneak peek at our big backyard makeover. It was four years in the making. When we bought our home in 2019, there was nothing in the yard but a slab of concrete and an old fence. We took our time and added a patio, a new fence, landscaping and outdoor furniture and decor. One year at a time. We're really…

Upstairs Reno - Bedrooms / Laundry
We recently renovated our guest bedrooms and turned the hallway into a laundry area. We raised the ceiling and did an exposed beam look + added sky lights to brighten it up. We are really happy with how it turned out.

the magical powers of peel-and-stick in my rental kitchen
first time using peel-and-stick on cabinetry and it went surprisingly better than expected! I want to try tackling the beveled-edges next, but happy with the progress so far. Does anyone have any favorite peel-and-stick brands they'd recommend?

My wife and I recently added some greenery to our outdoor space. We've sourced the plants from FB Marketplace & Brooklyn Plantology.

old work bench
My father was a carpenter and he used this in the basement as his work bench. He often just painted things with leftover paint from his projects… and thus the Kelly Green. I can just see him turning in his grave about me using this in my living room… he would have so wanted to build something 'nice' for me. But I love it…

New Desk Chair!
I just got my desk chair back from the upholsterer, and it was worth every penny to have a scrap of fabric I found at a sample sale turn something store bought into a custom piece! What do you all think? This isn't the exact spot where it's going to go, but it's the room. I couldn't believe how well this House of Hackney…

SMALL SPACE IN PARIS!
Since 2020, my husband and I have been living in Paris, France. We used to travel frequently, so we didn't have much information about housing in Paris. At the beginning of 2022, we started a project to purchase a small apartment for ourselves. Renovation Our apartment is located in northwest Paris. It's conveniently…

IKEA Billy Bookcase Turned Built-Ins
We moved into our home in 2021. We just had the IKEA bookshelves in white. My wife wanted the built-in look, so I worked on them one weekend while she was away. I love the way they turned out.

Media Room
We love watching movies, playing games and listening to music in this room. The last step is to add some comfy throw pillows to the couch.

Changing an unused spare room into a woodland wonderland Before: After: We added new flooring, did new trim, wallpapered, painted, and added furniture and love.

Entryway
After some years thinking what to do with the walls here, I decided to paint them instead of wallpaper them. I used water-based paint. I also upholstered the old school chair with a vintage fabric. So Happy with the result!

BEFORE & AFTER / SOUTH OF FRANCE APARTMENT
BEFORE & AFTER / FRANCE APARTMENT: I wanted to share our home renovations over the last few years that started with our little apartment (527 s.f.) in the South of France. We purchased it just before COVID and it proved to be very challenging since it was our first renovation. We hired a contractor just before the…

New Work Space
My daughter recently moved out, and I've transformed her room into my work space. The centerpiece remains a mid-century modern desk that belonged to my mother, flanked by an Ikea bookshelf. They rug is from Anthropology and the easy chair from Article. I mixed purple, the color of my childhood bedroom, with green, my favor…

Stripes!!!!
The more details you add into a space, the more refined and layered and like "full" it feels, no? I've been finding ways to paint stripes on to things in my home… here are three things I've added recently that I love. And yes — the stripes are all the same beige color! (Also full confession: my partner Keith actually…

Finally knocked a few home projects off the list this weekend
My wedding is coming up next weekend, and while almost all of the T's and I's are crossed and dotted there, I still needed somewhere to put my anxious energy — so we finally 1) installed an IKEA lamp that has been sitting on our dining room table for months, 2) installed a magnetic knife block, finally clearing counter…

What's your favorite seat in your home?
I just saw this TikTok from Timm Chiusano where he sits in every single seat in his home, and it got me thinking… what's the best seat in your own home? I adore my velvet armchair from Burrow (which makes me feel like the Sleepytime Tea Bear every time I curl up in it).

A work-in-progress WFH office
About four months in, my 450 square-feet studio apartment is still a messy work in progress, but at least my office corner is beginning to look a little more inviting, as well as functional. My lease is an ironclad nightmare —no painting, peel-and-stick wallpaper, only 3mm nails allowed on the walls, and so on, so I'm…

Show me your garden and houseplant humble brags!
Not even close to a master gardener or plant whisperer here, but our hydrangeas are such a source of joy right now! I think they're bigger and better than ever, and we just had to snip a few for a bouquet because the plant is flush with blooms, and some were weighing over the bush and touching the ground. The blue ones are…

Living Room Slowly Coming Together!
I just added some curtains this weekend to my living room/kitchen area as I wanted to paint the room but it's a pretty daunting task with all the nooks and curves I have with the kitchen part of the room. I definitely feel like the curtains add an additional sense of warmth! I eventually want a new couch and have to get…

My Dining Room Before & (in-progress) After
Sharing my progress on my dining room! I'm not quite done — the shelves, for example, are not screwed into the brackets yet because I think I need to even out the stain a bit first. I'm also waiting for my art to come back from the framers! Eventually I hope to add a pendant light in here, too, so that we have more than…

Guest Room
This is our guest room, which is also a part of the library and lounge/listening area. Definitely a multi-purpose room, but it works so well together.

Our Dining Room
We plan to make some changes in here soon, but this is how our dining room looks currently. The first step is to get rid of the Crosley and get a better turntable for this room. We will probably get the same one that we have in the lounge area.

I wallpapered my ceiling 😮
… and it completely changed the feel of my tiny guest bedroom! I just had to share because I love it so much Here's the before: Has anyone else wallpapered their ceiling? I'd love to see how it turned out (and commiserate about the neck pain from install 😂)
