Kaitlin’s 90s Builder-Grade Primary Bathroom Makeover
And we’re back! It’s been a little over three months since we ripped out our small, builder-grade primary bathroom and our daughter’s bathrooms for a much-needed update. I’m so happy to finally share that the bathrooms are complete! Last time you heard from me, we had just demo’d, and I shared our rough design plans…

My Brothers River House Living Room Reveal – With A TV On A Tiled Fireplace
I’m pretty sentimental writing this post. After four years (maybe 5?), this is the last room reveal of my brother’s family river house. Working on this project has been so incredibly fulfilling. If lessons are gifts (which they are), this project gave me too many to count; I’m spoiled with the bounty. Not every second…

The River House Game Room Reveal (The One Everyone Wants To Be In)
—
by
I alluded to it, hyped it up. Even sold it hard as “my favorite room in the house,” and today you are going to see it (and judge for yourself). Although I love LOVE the living room (coming soon) and I probably give out that trophy too often, I nailed this room with very little…

Makeover Takeover: Jess’ Colorful Yet Calm Bedroom Reveal
We meet again! I first just want to give you all the biggest thank you for all of the kind comments on my living room. I’ve been walking on a cloud for two straight days. You’d think after six-ish reveals that the nerves wouldn’t get to you, but surprise, they never do. But maybe that’s…

Farmhouse Living Room Update: The Sofas I Designed For The Space Are Here (And So Many Changes)
I “finished” the living room over 2 years ago, and while I was never 100% happy with it, I couldn’t put my finger on what/why, and loved it enough (and we had to shoot it for a magazine, so yes, I might have chosen some things based on timing). Now I want to be clear…

Ready for my personal holiday decorating schedule? (Remember that my job alters a typical process, so NO PRESSURE). Ok, October: start gathering inspiration, new ideas, and any new pieces you want (good stuff can sell out). November: it’s dark/wet outside, so it’s fun to start adding greenery and twinkle lights (yes, faux for us inside,…

The River House’s Cozy But Modern Dining Room Reveal!
—
by
Welcome to the river house dining room reveal – such a warm and inviting landing spot with the prettiest views, a cozy fireplace, and a painting that my brother still doesn’t know if he’s into (but he hasn’t taken it down yet!!). It’s adjacent to the kitchen, with a shared color palette, and I layered…

The River House Entry And Staircase Reveal (+ Why We Designed The Stairs This Way)
—
by
This entry is not the infamous family drop zone, which makes me just so happy. I really love how the architect, Anne Usher, designed the layout of this house. There are two exterior entrances that lead to the mudroom (up the garage stairs and up the side of the house), allowing the front door entry…

The Grand Finale: Mallory’s DIY Hollywood-Inspired Dining Room Reveal
A few weeks ago, we revealed my living room and my closet speakeasy, and I’m happy to report that I have one more space to share with you – my dining room! You might’ve seen a sneak peek or two if you saw the last two blog posts, since all the spaces are adjacent to…

Revealing My Brother’s Ultra Cozy Family Room (And The Most Comfortable Green Sectional)

by
REVEAL DAYS ARE MY FAVORITE DAYS. While the magazine (Better Homes and Gardens) is about to hit newsstands (revealing four of my favorite rooms in my brother’s house that you haven’t seen yet), this room wasn’t done in time to shoot, so I get to actually reveal it earlier (and hopefully get you excited for…
