Sixties Split

Modern Traditional Living Room Reveal

Before, during, and after of our living room transformation, including sources! You won’t believe how this space has changed over the course of the year.

Renovator. Designer. Blogger.

Hello & welcome to Sima Spaces! I'm Laura, and I have a passion for all things design, decor, and renovation.

My husband and I are serial renovators, currently working on our second home- a 1961 four story split level (#simasixtiessplit). I'm also a full time RN! For 3 years, I ran my own design business, but decided to put that on hold for the time being- you can't do it all, ya know?!

Oh hello there! 👋It’s been about a month and Oh hello there! 👋It’s been about a month and a half since my last post- it has been a busy spring for us here, and I got a little burned out from IG so took an impromptu break. I took a trip to Cabo with friends and then we took a ski trip out to Colorado. Both were so much fun!! Today I finally got around to putting away our winter decor and bringing out some spring decor, despite there still being multiple feet of snow in some spots of our yard 😆 I swapped out greenery, candles, pillowcases and a couple decorative items) and it feels like a fresh start. Happy spring! I don’t have a lot of progress to report on the basement yet- framing is just about done, with electrical coming this weekend. Next up is window & fireplace install! What’s something fun you’ve done this winter, or are looking forward to this spring?
As we get started on the basement reno in #simasix As we get started on the basement reno in #simasixtiessplit, we have been reminiscing about the basement remodel we did in #ourfiftiesfixerupper… the one we finished and never got to enjoy 😅 this basement was a huge overhaul, including a full bathroom, laundry/storage room, 2 bedrooms, and a large living area with a fireplace and bar. We literally installed the last piece of trim and moved out a week later 😂 I loved the fireplace we created down here! Swipe to see what we started with 😳 Our current basement remodel is going to go a lot faster as we only really have a living area & laundry/storage room to renovate. It’s currently gutted and ready for framing, and I’m working on finalizing design plans. Our goal is to finish it before June! 👏 #basementremodel #basementdesign #basementrenovation #basementbar #basementreno #moderntraditional #fireplacedesign #myhomevibe #beforeandafter #homeremodel #designsponge #housebeautiful #GGathome #bestofhome #apartmenttherapy #imaremodelaholic #hometohave #homesohard #myinspiredhouse #cljsquad #bhghome #sodomino #beckiowensfeature #myhome2inspire

Entryway transformation: dark & dated to bright & Entryway transformation: dark & dated to bright & beautiful! These builtins were the finishing touch on our entryway makeover. This project got started with demo way back in spring 2021! It involved a full gut, reframing, replacing the stairs, new drywall/insulation/electrical, replacing the tile floors with a slate herringbone (that almost ended us 😅), replacing the door, adding picture frame molding to the walls, and finally, building, painting and installing these amazing builtins! We’re not lucky enough to have a mudroom and a separate entryway in our home, so I wanted to maximize the space that we had and create a functional but pretty entryway. Now when you walk in, you get a “welcome home” feeling rather than “welcome to the dungeon” 🤣 Shop everything on my @shop.ltk profile, or comment “builtins” below and I’ll send you the link😊 Paint color is Forest Floor by @benjaminmoore #entryway #entrywaydecor #builtins #entrywaydesign #entrywaygoals #herringbonetile #slatetile #slateherringbone #mudroomdesign #mudroommakeover #beforeandafter #cljsquad #moderntraditional #simasixtiessplit #entrywaydesign #beforeandnow #renovationprogress #fixerupper #homerenovation #liveinflip #renovationproject #designinspiration #thatsdarling #designsponge #housebeautiful #GGathome #bestofhome #imaremodelaholic
✨ENTRYWAY REVEAL!✨ The builtins are FINISHED ✨ENTRYWAY REVEAL!✨ The builtins are FINISHED and wow, they sure transformed this space 😍 from a boxy closet to a bench & cabinets with plenty of storage, the entryway is now beautiful AND functional. This project took almost 2 years from start of demo to finish 😅 there were a few other projects that took precedence, but finally this fall & winter we were able to focus on building & painting the builtins. I am so happy with how they turned out. What do you think- did I make the right choice going with green? I think I did 😉 Swipe to see how this space started!!!
