Our Breakfast Nook Refresh – Part 1
Happy Sunday Friends! An avid reader, I’ve always loved the idea of a window seat somewhere in our home so that I could enjoy lounging the afternoon away to a good book or cuddling up with one of the dogs as I listen to the rain. When we first toured the house, I couldn’t picture a better place for a built-in than the breakfast nook. From the delightfully over-sized window and its soothing natural light throughout the day, to the sense of seclusion it offers, feeling tucked away within our otherwise open floor plan. It was the perfect spot! Now the challenge… With our humble footprint of a house, everything…

When we first moved in, the entirety of the main level was wall to wall, floor to ceiling, every nook and cranny in a harsh and very unflattering yellow. It felt busy and not in a good way. More like a slept through your alarm, rushed out to your car, and realized halfway to…

Board and Batten
When we first moved into our home we found that the dining room’s previous “look” offered little in the way of charm. Initially, I armed myself with a roller and set to painting over the saturated yellow with my favorite neutral, Grey Owl by Benjamin Moore. It’s amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do and we were left with how we wanted to inject our personality into the space. In our dining room, we found that we had one actual wall, a shared wall to the living room, and two partial walls where the walls had been opened with wide-set archways. Going for a feature wall seemed the…
