Home Renovation Q&A

Home Renovation Q&A

Last week I responded to a bunch of home renovation questions on Instagram, but I wanted to share them here so they can "live" longer than just the 24 hour Stories! I'm happy to do another Home Renovation Q&A as I keep sharing more and more details! I also plan to share each room as we finish it (which will probably be after we've been moved in for a while, because #toddlermomlife). Did you just buy your house? Not at all! We bought it almost 10 years ago, but a couple of years ago …

Navy Blue and White Home Color Palette

Navy Blue and White Home Color Palette

When we started designing our kitchen, we knew that we wanted white cabinets. Our kitchen for years has had light-colored wood, stainless steel appliances, and beige-ish tile floors. I couldn't wait to get rid of those cabinets - or the recessed lighting that was everywhere! You can see what our kitchen looked like in this blog post. One of my favorite things about the new kitchen (even though it isn't yet installed) is the island. We decided to do all white cabinets in the kitchen, aside from …

Home Renovation Update: Month 3

When I last updated on our home renovation, the new addition was framed, the electrical and plumbing were done, and the doors and siding were on. What I didn't share is that's when I started to get homesick. It's a weird feeling, living between two homes, neither of which are ours. Every time I drive up our street I get excited to go home, even if it's just for an hour. We have now been out of our house since June 4, so a total of 2 months and 2 weeks. While the renovation feels like it …

Home Renovation Update

Our renovation is moving at lightning speed now! For a while it felt like things were crawling along... It was about a month from breaking ground to finishing up the foundation, but once the new foundation was inspected and got the okay from the city, things were really off and moving! Once they started to frame the new addition, things really got going. While we still have a looong way to go until we're done, now is when a lot of our decision-making has to happen. This will be a water …

Mudroom Inspiration

Mudroom Inspiration

One of the things I'm most excited for about our massive home renovation? The mudroom. I've saved this image from The Lily Pad Cottage as inspiration! It might sound a little silly to some, but we haven't had a mudroom! Our house has (er... had) two entrances: The front door and the side door. The front door enters into a very small entry, but there isn't a closet or anything immediately there. The side door used to enter right into the kitchen, and there wasn't any closet there, …
