A Tour of Our New Home!

We moved! Here’s a “before” tour of our new home, including the tentative plans we have for remodeling each space.

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?!

Look around, leave a comment, and don't forget to subscribe to my emails so you don't miss out!

Anyone else having the type of summer where you fe Anyone else having the type of summer where you feel like you can hardly keep your head above water? Between work, social events and getaways, and this renovation I feel like we hardly have any free time and it doesn’t look like that will change even through the fall 😵‍💫 I’m thankful to have a job and an active social life but I’d love to just lay on the couch for a day or three 🤣🤣🤣 not sure when we’ll get to this backsplash or other finishing details on the main floor but I’m doing my best to be ok with that!

We have a living room!!! We decided we were sick o We have a living room!!! We decided we were sick of the basement (and sick of storing furniture all around the house 😆) so we set up the living room today! We still have lots left to do, like install trim, build the fireplace surround and bookshelf and hang curtains etc. etc. but life is short so why wait to install furniture when you can have a beautiful temporary setup!!! And speaking of beautiful, I am IN LOVE with our @loloirugs Giada rug 😍 isn’t she a beauty?! I wanted a rug that would add warmth and color and when I saw this rug, I knew it was meant to be! It’s so soft and the tones are perfect with light and dark furniture. Can’t wait to get this space finished but I am also very content with it for the time being 😄 #loloipartner Follow my shop on the @shop.LTK app to shop this post! #liketkit #LTKhome @shop.ltk http://liketk.it/3kV5p
KITCHEN PROGRESS// we had a super productive day!! KITCHEN PROGRESS// we had a super productive day!!! Crown moulding and floating shelves were installed by contractor team. We got the cabinet knobs on, microwave, range leveled, island outlet in, TV mounted, chandelier hung, and even a mini guest bedroom zshush (see stories!) 🙌 what’s left in here, you ask? Backsplash tile, window trim, finish drawer pulls, and sconce light over the sink, some styling…. And that’s it!!!!! Feels SO good to be making major progress 🥳 cheers to the weekend!!!!
We have countertops!!!!!! I could cry I am so happ We have countertops!!!!!! I could cry I am so happy 😭😍 they add so much drama and texture and WOW to the kitchen and I am in love!!! I originally wanted soapstone, but they were $$$. When I saw this honed granite slab for almost half the cost, my heart sang and I knew that THIS was the perfect option! Our kitchen is slowly but surely coming together… there are quite a few more pieces left to install and finish, but I am content with this view at the moment 😍 #simasixtiessplit #kitchenremodel
….and then there was an ISLAND! (And a dishwashe ….and then there was an ISLAND! (And a dishwasher… and a corner cabinet 😜) things are MOVING on the kitchen!!!! It is getting installed this week, and countertops go in on Thursday!!! Omg you guys, 5 months without a kitchen gives you a whole new perspective on life and I am SO GRATEFUL to *almost* be able to use this kitchen 😭😭😭 the island is everything I dreamed of. The wood tone is so warm and cozy, and the quarter-sawn grain gives it life and texture and i am in love 🥰 I am so excited to share this with you over the next few days. I can’t believe that it is finally coming to life after waiting for soooo long!!!! Even Dexter is excited 🐶
It’s Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday 🎶 who remembers that song? If you do… you’re welcome, it’s stuck in your head for the rest of the day 😂 here’s a look at another angle of our porch! My jasmine plant is sad but Benji the tree is doing a little better. I think he likes this corner! In other news, unfortunately we are NOT getting our cabinets installed today, but they should be going on Monday for sure! Never fear- we are going to make other progress this weekend. We don’t have out of town plans this weekend so we’re going to try and be productive and get some trimwork done! Or maybe we should do ceiling beams? What do you think?!
