My search for the perfect dresser ended with a big heeeeeell yes! Quality dressers are SO expensive and even not so great quality dressers usually cost more than I wanted to spend and when I find myself in that predicament (which I much too often do) I turned my search to vintage. I started googling […]
We are getting closer to the end of our renovation and I CAN NOT wait to start moving our things back in, hang some art, and just enjoy some time at home. I can’t believe how much counter space we have now that that wall is history. The new pieces of marble for the extension […]
Ok guys, sorry for the lack of house updates. There hasn’t been anything too exciting going on and everything is still so not pretty, it isn’t very inspiring to take photos of, or look at, really. Thankfully the end is getting near(ish) and most of the major stuff is done! I can’t wait for the […]
I have yet to choose any furnishings or accessories for the bedrooms in my own house, but I’ve been working on a client’s home in Manhattan Beach and thought I would share what I am calling a “modern beach” guest room. Living in a beach town, we wanted to give the room a coastal nod […]
The trash pile is gone, two out of three coats of stucco done, and the roofing has been approved…
The day our new bedroom will have finished walls and flooring is coming, but in the meantime I am looking at these lust worthy spaces to ease my nesting itch. How about those plants? Definitely a must. From the home of Cassandra Karinsky via The Design Files. And I am kind of obsessed with that mirror […]
The house is progressing (much like the trash piles in the backyard)… check out our walls and roof! We also busted down the old wall inside the bedroom, take a peek inside after the jump…
Excuse Cracker’s foul modeling please, and check out our (almost) bedroom walls! It feels so good to see the structure start to come to life and it also led to a quick changeroo in the plan…
Continuing on with the “before” tour are the bedrooms. Basically there are two identical bedrooms (one’s just a bit smaller) and they are both a little yellow box with two windows each. Is it just me or does it look like a scary monster face in those curtains? As you can probably see, these rooms are tiny […]
If you remember from the bedroom “before” photos, there were initially two sets of identical bunk beds. Each of those bunk beds had a closet at the end. By removing one set of bunk beds (to fit the double bed) we also removed one good sized closet, and replaced it with just the tiny linen […]
So happy to have the photo I took of our bedroom nook tucked inside the pages of the March issue of HGTV magazine. Can’t wait to dig into the rest of it! Image by Sarah Sherman Samuel
On the last trip to the cabin we got a lot accomplished in the bedroom. We worked late the night before leaving to finish the bunk beds, wallpaper, & install the lighting. So… sorry about the poor quality of the photos, I had to snap these on the way out the door for an early […]
Get a load of this sconce! As soon as I started designing the bedroom I had these light fixtures in mind and ordered them before anything else. Unfortunately for me they were back ordered… and then back ordered again. Cut to six MONTHS later they finally arrived. After installing the first one… TA – DA […]
Looky looky… there are some new pics of our cabin over on Design Sponge today! Since everything is still in the works, I haven’t really compared where we are now in the renovation to where we started. Having the “before and after” photos (“after” really being more like “in progress”) right next to each other, […]
We are heading back to the cabin this week and I can not wait! Last trip we were finally able to sleep in a real bed instead of on the floor… and better yet, the bedroom no longer functions as a storage room for all of the construction materials. So, here is the current status […]
The bedroom is coming along bit by bit. Here are a few shots of us in the process of putting in the new ceiling. We picked up this carsiding from menards, my mom and I painted it, then Rupe and my dad put it up. Voila! done and done. So far in the bedroom we have: […]
