Master Bedroom Before the Remodel
November 22, 2015
A few years ago, our Saint Bernard puppy was in our room during the day and we thought he was old enough and would be fine. We thought wrong. He chewed every piece of trim and door casing in our room and we had three doors. He also straight up chewed the panel wall. You […]
How to Organize Your Kitchen
October 23, 2014
Do you wonder how other people organize their kitchen? I especially wondered how to organize my kitchen when I recklessly and repeatedly shoved my falling Tupperware Snapware back into the cupboard. Tyler and I both like our kitchen to be clean and organized. Actually, it might be the only room he likes to keep clean. 🙂 […]
Remodeled Kitchen Fully Revealed
September 19, 2014
As you may have read in this blog post, we remodeled our kitchen and dining room 100 days before our wedding. The rehearsal dinner was at our home. It was so fun (yet a lot of work) hosting our family and friends in a ‘new’ home! Tyler and I did the demo and painting, but […]
Functioning Kitchen and a Demolished Dining Room
July 18, 2014
We are SOOOO excited to have a functioning kitchen again! And a beautiful one at that! I have waited to post photos because there were little things, like the crown moulding, that were just installed this week. It is not completely finished. The short white cabinet on the right side will have something under it. […]
Surviving a Kitchen Remodel
July 2, 2014
Every couple’s love is tested throughout their relationship. I think a kitchen remodel among planning a wedding is one of the bigger challenges we have faced. Those of you who have done major house projects with your significant other know what I’m talking about and are probably nodding in agreement. Someone even told me their biggest […]

June 25, 2014
Everyday is a new surprise when I come home. Yesterday, the under cabinet lighting and microwave were installed! (Some other less noticeable things were accomplished too.) Our lights are GE LED Under Cabinet Light and this photo was taken at night. Hopefully soon the oven will be installed!
Creating a Temporary Kitchen For a Remodel
June 16, 2014
Our kitchen was due for a remodel. One of the biggest reasons was no dishwasher and no room in the layout to add a dishwasher. Now we are in the middle of the remodel with a temporary kitchen in our dining room. I hated doing dishes by hand, but doing dishes in a tiny bathroom […]
Paint in the Kitchen, Jackhammer in the Dining Room
June 9, 2014
It seems every major house project comes with a surprise. We’ve already had a few, but this one was the biggest pain. I say ‘pain’ like I actually did any work to remove this concrete pad, but really it was my brother and fiance. Our dining room and master bedroom were slapped on to the […]
How To Remove Tile Without It Breaking
May 18, 2014
The first stage of our kitchen demo (see blog post here) was to pull up the tile that was secured to cement board and had low grout. This floor was incredibly hard to clean because the grout was so thin between the tiles. When we started removing the tile, the grout looked red instead of the […]
