Door to Door

Front doors. They’re a good accessory to your house’s exterior. They’re that accent pillow kind of pop of color that makes a statement and defines your home’s aesthetic. Personally, I’m a sucker for a bright colorful door. Especially one that’s got added character too. Dutch doors, craftsman-style you name it. Here are just a few […]

To the Window to the Wall

UPDATE! We have new windows. Like all new windows. Not a single old one is still there. Including a giant new window installed in the living room. Combine that with the opened up ceiling and I think we’ve got some good light happening inside now. Below is a picture of the window from the outside. I […]

That’s One Sexy Carport

“That’s one sexy carport,” said no one ever. This is the reality we must face though. Our garage evidently was built illegally and must be converted back into a carport. It’s not too terrible.

We also recently opened the ceiling. So this, photo, minus a ceiling: Now, the Photoshop renderings. We’re replacing the left cabinets with a refrigerator and adding […]

I’m thinking something a little more cozy and traditional. I’m picturing plaid chairs and sweater pillows! I still […]

The Julianna Cabin

Without further ado, BEHOLD, The Julianna Cabin. In its defense. It is waaaaay closer to the lake (we’re still in south lake). Like 4 blocks. You can walk to it no problem. It’s 2 bedroom/2 bath like the Jack cabin. It also has a loft-like space upstairs that we plan to convert into a play/sleep […]
