Three years ago, we tore our kitchen down to the studs and started from scratch. After months of renovating (and doing dishes in the bathtub!), we discovered which decisions were worth every bit of effort and which ones we'd reconsider if we were to do it again. From a few decisions we wish we'd thought through more carefully to the details we're still so glad we included, here's what we'd change and what we'd happily do all over again.
When we renovated our 1938 home, we wanted a paint palette that felt timeless and cohesive while still leaving room for personality. Here's a look at the colors we chose, the thinking behind them, and how we've used them throughout our home.
When we first bought our home, we had a vision and an ambitious six-month renovation plan. But what we thought would be a quick project turned into a year-and-a-half journey filled with dust, delays, and more than a few unexpected challenges. Along the way, we discovered that creating a home isn't just about paint colors and floor plans - it's about learning patience, embracing slow progress, and finding joy in the journey. Come inside and join me as I share the story of how this house slowly became home.
