Sometimes a homeowner is a very skilled DIY-er and just needs a little help to realize the vision for their project. Together, with the help of our friend John Horn, and a little pinterest inspiration, we were able to update their fireplace into a brilliant focal point in this family's den. This is the fireplace before… Continue reading Fireplace Facelift
We recently served a lovely family in Abilene that lives in one of my FAVORITE houses in one of my FAVORITE locations in town. This historic home included a beautiful and unique entrance. But time and weather have beaten it down over the years and it was time for a little updating. At first glance… Continue reading Beautiful Custom Front Door
Our latest rehab is on the market and I'm enjoying reminiscing over where it began! Digging through old photos is always the fun part. Sometimes it's hard to remember how far a house has come! For this kitchen we kept the original cabinets but we removed the cook top and built in oven to provide… Continue reading How we updated a 60’s kitchen
Sometimes designing a rehab project is easy. But sometimes, you buy a house with an elevated living room and an L shaped brick wall, and it leaves you stumped as to the best way to fix it up. I came up with several ideas about how to utilize the wall, but at the end of… Continue reading What knocking out a brick wall gets you…
Our recently purchased house is a home in the making (yep, we are living in a project while flipping another house!). Just showing off some of my husband's recent work: This is now our son's room. The built in bookshelf makes a great place to organize his toys and books! But first he had to get… Continue reading The bookshelf stays, everything else goes!
Do you ever just see something random at a flea market and immediately get inspired? I saw these old screwdrivers and immediately thought they would make cute knobs. However, I lacked the skill set to complete the project. That didn't stop me from bringing them home. 4 years later, when my husband of 2 years… Continue reading Vintage Knobs
A plainer is a nifty tool. This vintage one was purchased with the intent to use it! But, alas, it was past its prime before coming home with us. So my creative husband found another use for it... A lovely tall laundry table for me! Here he is putting on the finishing touches! He left… Continue reading Repurposed Plainer
The master bathroom certainly needed the least work. Even though we removed every last yellow tile from the guest bathroom, we decided the teal tile was adorable and kept it! Before... After. We updated the medicine cabinet and light fixture and softened the walls with a grey color instead of white. We removed the old… Continue reading House Flip: 341 // Master Bathroom
Here are some pictures before and after the remodel of the kitchen area, which included a breakfast nook. This view is from the living room. The room through the door on the left was a bit odd. It could be a sitting room, or a large formal dining, or a second family room. See below… Continue reading House Flip: 341 // The Kitchen
This room remains my FAVORITE transformation. This is the guest bathroom in the hallway. The pale yellow tile was original from the 50's. This is the view from the original door (yes, I said original, because we moved the door!). That's a LOT of yellow tile. And the boxed in toilet (eek!). The counter top… Continue reading House Flip: 341 // Guest Bathroom
