When we started refinishing our floors back in March, I knew that the entryway was going to be next on our “to do” list. Why? Because entryways (IMO) are incredibly important. 1.) They are the first things people see when they walk into your home, and 2.) they set the tone for the rest of your house as well. Is it warm? Is it inviting? What does it say about YOU?

That’s the thing with flips, you have to have a BIG VISION in the beginning but ok with letting go of some of those ideas when push comes to shove and the money just isn’t there because this issue popped up and that issue came up. It’s hard to do, but it’s so much better in the end to just roll with the punches and push yourself creatively.

It’s HERE! The new chandelier is HERE! It took me a loooooonnnnggg time to pick THIS beauty out but when I finally pulled the trigger it was such a sigh of relief.

Ceramic table lamps are all the rage right now and for good reason too. They are beautiful and act as both a statement piece and a functional accessory to any space they’re in. I have recently thrifted two old ceramic lamps and refinished them to look like one of these high end lamps I’ve shared here and I am so in love.

People often get overwhelmed when trying to figure out where and how to add texture but let me make it way easier for you. There are 4 different (and super easy) ways that I like to add texture to my spaces.

I wanted to add a vintage gallery wall to my house but I couldn’t figure out where until we redid our hardwood floors and stairs and suddenly it was like the heavens opened and I saw the perfect opportunity!

I thought I’d share some of my favorite tips for how we’ve created a seamless and bright aesthetic in our own home despite having the dark wood tones.

I have been wanting to move the table to this part of the room for the longest time because it just MAKES SENSE to use this window bench. And bonus it gives us a large open space here in the center of the dining room that for so long was crowded with this table and chairs. However, so many people have since asked…but what about the chandelier in the middle of the room?

Finding a deal that I love is one of my favorite hobbies! That’s why I’ve gone “out” and rounded up some of my very favorite accent chairs that are UNDER $180! You guys, if you didn’t already know, that’s a STEAL of a deal!

I think rugs are in and of themselves a piece of art and that’s why I’m sharing with you some of our favorite vintage styled rugs!

Well, I’m happy to announce that I have come to somewhat of a compromise to all of this and couldn’t be happier with the direction that we have decided to go in.

Yes, it’s true…after just over two years of having refinished our floors we decided to jump head first into the tedious task once more to get our floors JUST how we wanted them. But WHY did we have to refinish them in the first place we have gotten asked a few times…

Our hope is that through this we can teach you about what characterizes the two different design styles and how you can implement your old with you new, as well as, simple and easy ways you can start transitioning your own space today.
