8 Ways To Elevate Your Awkward Entryway

A Bold And Bejeweled New Build
I could probably just do a mic-drop after sharing this image of this teal bookcase. If I’m being honest, it might be one of my favorite furniture pieces of all time – closely followed by the custom live edge bed in this home’s master bedroom…
Reveal: Pretty Lively Penthouse Loft
I must admit, this post is a bit overdue, as we shot and received the final photos from this space last summer. To be fair, we shared it on our portfolio, all over Instagram and it even made its debut in Design Sponge as one of their final articles before closing up shop.

Our Forever Home – The Kitchen
If you’re new here, you might be somewhat unfamiliar with our latest home project. In addition to working on client jobs, my husband and I are currently in the process of fixing up the 1927 old stone home we purchased two years ago.

Secondly, it is part of our job to educate our clients. One of the trickiest ships to navigate in this industry is working alongside contractors. In the home renovation world, things go wrong. They just do. Even the most skilled professionals run into strange, unforeseen situations when tackling a renovation…
Our Design Plans: Butlers Pantry
I’m TOTALLY PUMPED to share this space with you all. I am JUST JAZZED by the thought of having a butlers pantry. It was honestly one of the top reasons we purchased this house. A ‘butlers pantry” had been on my “must have” list ever since I found out what one was. For those who may be unfamiliar with the term, a butlers pantry is defined as a small service and storage room between a kitchen and a dining room. Basically, they’re just freakin’ cute spaces that allow you to flex your creativity a bit more than a large kitchen does…
Our Design Plans: Kitchen
Well, folks, this is the BIG ONE!! I’ve shared some flickering of design ideas or #BTS sneak peeks on Instagram, but now you get the whole shebang!! Our kitchen design has evolved a lot over the last few months – but the one thing that has always held true is the inclusion of powder blue cabinets…
