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.

moody modern traditional bedroom makeover // I am moody modern traditional bedroom makeover // I am so excited to finally reveal our bedroom to you in full! Today on the blog I’m sharing the plans, before photos, and details about every little thing in here! My goal was moody and cozy yet light and bright and I think I accomplished just that. Special thank you to @revival for gifting this incredible vintage rug that completely makes the room! #revivalpartner This is a one-of-a-kind, but you can find the perfect rug for your home on their website- they have a huge selection! Use code SIMASPACES10 for 10% off, through the end of this year! Swipe to see another view of this room and a couple before photos. Then head to Simaspaces.com to see more photos and find links for sources 😊 #revivalrugs
I’ve been thinking more about furniture plan for I’ve been thinking more about furniture plan for our living room once we renovate, and I came across this @amberinteriors space on Pinterest and spoke to me 😍 I’m leaning towards a darker sectional sofa. Now to find one that is the perfect combo of comfortable, durable, and cat-scratch resistant 😑 ALSO, very strongly considering a frame TV for our living room and now is the time to buy! For you frame TV owners out there, is it worth it? I feel like the answer is yes😉
after//design plan//before: it often takes months after//design plan//before: it often takes months to take a space from the “before” stage to install day, and styling is the cherry on top of all of the work behind the scenes. As you can see here, styling makes a huge difference in making the space feel complete, and it is one of the things that people tell me they struggle with the most. Perhaps you can relate, so I wanted to share a tip! No matter the season, I love styling with greenery, books, pillows and throws, baskets, unique objects, and candles. I like to incorporate vintage pieces, new items, and the clients’ personal items for a home-like feel. Seasonally, I replace greenery, swap out pillow covers and blankets, and add seasonal candles (e.g. pumpkin, balsam fir, or peony-scented candles)! What are your favorite styling items? . . 📷: @spacecrafting_photography
Everyone seems to be “decking the halls” early Everyone seems to be “decking the halls” early this year, and I’m not mad about it! I love seeing cheerful holiday home pics. I haven’t dug out our winter/Christmas decor boxes yet, but plan on doing that this weekend. In the meantime, here’s a throwback to our old home’s bathroom last year. I kept it simple, yet impactful! My “theme” for my holiday decor was “winter wonderland” with plenty of white, green, and silver. For those of you who are planning on decorating (or maybe you already have), what’s your theme for the year? (And if your theme is “ALL OF THE HOLIDAY CHEER” that’s just fine too 😉🤣🎄)
I blinked and all of a sudden it’s been two week I blinked and all of a sudden it’s been two weeks since I’ve posted, oops! 🙈 It’s hard to keep up with posting when I don’t have a ton of content to share from our own home yet, and my client projects are in the early design or “waiting” stages! . I do have a couple big updates though, one of which has to do with this gorgeous inspo designed by @heidicaillierdesign. I’d saved this kitchen image a loooong time ago and it has subconsciously had a big influence on my kitchen design plans for our own one. Exciting update: we bought appliances! With those pieces finalized I’m now able to nail down the cabinetry design. If you saw last week in stories, I was looking at flooring and cabinets! . Other updates: the bedroom is DONE other than that I need to paint the doors and I’m going to do that today! And the tile for our porch has arrived too. So excited for these next few months! Oh, and if you have no idea what I’m talking about, head to the blog to check out the “new house tour” and see what I’m referring to ☺️ . Now let’s talk kitchen plans. What is a must-have for a kitchen for you? Maybe an island, an eat-in space, built in appliances, fancy drawers? Tell me below! 👇
Ahem, let me distract you from election stress wit Ahem, let me distract you from election stress with a BEDROOM MAKEOVER PROGRESS SHOT! I couldn’t resist sharing a little update with you all! I am waiting on couple things to arrive for the walls, and I still have to install the wainscoting (or do I? 🤨) and paint the doors, but I am so in love with how it’s coming together. My goal vibe was cozy, earthy, and relaxing and I think it’s heading in the right direction! And this vintage rug from @revival completely MAKES this space, am I right?! 🤩 it is exactly what I was looking for. It’s such a yummy texture and color combo, and it anchors the room by contrasting so beautifully against our new white walls. There’s just something about a vintage rug that adds so much character to a room! @revival has SO many options for one-of-a-kind, vintage rugs in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Take it from me, you need a vintage rug in your life ASAP, so head to their site to shop and get 10% off with code SIMASPACES10. Swipe to see a closeup of this baby, as well as a “before” shot of this room from last week! #RevivalRugs #RevivalPartner #sponsored #bedroommakeover
