13 Ideas to Support Small Businesses During the COVID-19 Crisis

COVID-19 has taken over every part of our lives at this point. We’re not going out to eat, we’re not having parties, kids aren’t going to school, we’re not shopping in retail stores, we’re not planning for events. We’re staying home, as we should be. (I’m not here to lecture you, but I will say

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!

I’ve waited a looong time to be able to share of I’ve waited a looong time to be able to share official #beforeandafter pics of the dining room! With the addition of a roman shade yesterday, the dining room is complete ✅ swipe to see the progression of this space! 

We started with a boxy space with an 8’ ceiling, exterior sliding glass patio door, floor to ceiling mirrored wall, and no storage. We replaced the floors, the window, swapped out the slider for French doors, vaulted the ceiling, and added a builtin for additional storage. Our vintage oval dining table extends to seat 10! 

Later this year we plan to add ceiling beams, and then the entire main floor will be complete 🙌
The photo prints arrived last week, and our dining The photo prints arrived last week, and our dining room is now complete with the exception of 2 things: window shades (which have been ordered!), and a decision about lamps! If you’ve followed along in my stories, you might remember how I’ve been searching for the perfect lamp(s) for the buffet ever since we installed it a month or so ago. I thought I had the perfect rattan vintage lamp from FB marketplace, but it got lost in transit 😫 so back to square one! Today I found these super cute brass + rattan shade lamps at Homegoods and literally ran to grab them in the store 😂 I had also found a single rattan lamp there a couple weeks ago and brought it home to try out while I waited for the marketplace lamp to arrive. The tall cream ceramic lamp is also vintage, and I borrowed it our porch. 

I need your help: tell me which configuration/lamp you prefer! 1, 2, 3, or 4?

I spoke with our concrete contractor yesterday and confirmed that we can expect to have a new back patio by the end of this month 🙌 that means it’s time to finalize some design plans for the rest of the landscaping and plans for the backyard: dining table and chairs, lighting plan, bonfire area, grill station, staircase, and landscaping around the patio will be my main focuses. I already have most of it planned in my head, but it’s time to actually draw and source things now 😆👏 I will give a tour of our plans in my stories this afternoon!
Progress update: the entryway tile is FINISHED🎉 Progress update: the entryway tile is FINISHED🎉 it has been over a year since we started demo on our entryway… over a year since we’ve had a finished floor 💀 this tile project might be the last one we ever do😅 herringbone slate is no joke!!! But I am so excited to share that it is officially DONE and now we get to move forward with the fun finish work down here… doors, trim, and finishing the bathroom 👏 Here’s to progress!

Happy Saturday! Somehow it’s been over a month s Happy Saturday! Somehow it’s been over a month since I’ve shared a post 🙈 I don’t really have anything new and exciting to share with you all just yet, but our entryway is getting very close to finished! Today I am sealing the tile and then we will be able to start moving furniture up and installing doors and trim. I would also like to paint our dining room buffet this weekend. It’s a gloomy day around here in MN so here’s an older pic of our kitchen with some sun streaming in ☀️ one of these days it will be sunny and warm up in MN so I can start on the outdoor projects… but I suppose this is my push to get the indoor projects checked off while the weather is crummy! What do you all have planned for the weekend? 

Kitchen sources can be found on my website by searching “modern traditional kitchen reveal” 😊
We are home from our ski trip to Colorado! We pull We are home from our ski trip to Colorado! We pulled in last night around 1am and went straight to bed after a roughly 16 hour drive 🥱 Thankfully I’m still off work today so I will be unpacking, doing laundry, getting groceries, and an extra long workout to get my body feeling right after 9 days of eating and drinking allll of the things 🤣  We had an absolute blast and it’s always so hard to leave, but definitely feels good to be home and sleep in our own bed again! It’s chilly in MN but hopefully spring is here to stay because I am definitely done with winter now 😜
