Custom Cabinets: The Dramatic Conclusion
Let’s jump right into it, shall we? Last time we discussed our new custom cabinets: where they’re going, why we need them, how we put them together, and how we use them. BUT, we didn’t get to the crowning jewel: the handmade herringbone countertop. I was getting a little wordy on that last post (as […]Read More »Custom Cabinets That Changed Our Lives
That title is not hyperbole, y’all. We’re working on catching up with sharing everything we’ve done in the past year or so, and today I wanted to get down to the nitty gritty of the most useful project we’ve done at our home. I’ve mentioned before that our kitchen/laundry room included an awkward space that […]Read More »Budget Bathroom Refresh
I touched on it a bit last week, but the changes around here have me itching to redo our 2nd bathroom. And while I had fun experimenting with working with what I have, we plan on being in this house for a while, and we’d like to update the bathroom to really fit our style […]Read More »Is this thing on…?
So there’s been a good deal of radio silence here on the ol’ blog, not that I’m anticipating that anyone has been on the edge of their seats waiting for a post- but here’s a quick recap just in case. The Wolfpack is growing by one! We’re expecting our first, a boy- VERY SOON- and […]Read More »Pack a Punch with a Simple Floating Canvas Frame
This week I FINALLY checked off a longstanding To-Do, and it was so great! I’m lucky to have a super-talented photographer for a husband, so I’ve long wanted to print one of his photos and make it a focal point on our dining room gallery wall. We built the ledges offset to make sure there’d […]Read More »The Mid-Mod Planter
We’re back this week sharing a simple DIY with you, and a timely one!

This is an easy one: inexpensive, quick, beginner DIY, and minimal supplies. Midcentury-modern style planters have been […]Read More »Project Jenjamin: Throwback to a DIY Wedding
Ben and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary on the 7th, and I felt like this was the perfect opportunity to share some of the projects we took on in making that big day our own! Creative guest books have become increasingly popular lately, because it’s so fun to have something from your wedding that can […]Read More »Getting Horizontal with a Modern Fence Gate
Ben is obsessed with horizontal fences. OBSESSED. When we first put an offer in on another home, it didn’t have a fence at all, and Ben was THRILLED by the chance for us to install our own horizontal fence. And he’s right- they’re an awesome modern detail, and it’s great to mix up the tried-and-true […]Read More »The Skinny on our Sofa Table

Check out […]Read More »Five on Friday: Volume 1
For your Friday, enjoy some of our favorite discoveries this week! Those Swedes have been cleverly tricking us all with their CGI Ikea catalogs! We’re pretty organized people, and lately we’ve researched down the rabbit hole of bullet journaling. We haven’t taken the plunge yet, but there’s a lot to nerd out on here. If […]Read More »Our Hacked Rasts!
Our new nightstands are complete, and I just LOVE them! (but, like, the appropriate amount for inanimate objects, obviously) Aside from the style they add to the room, they are the perfect scale for maximizing our space. It’s not a big room, and our bed frame is pretty visually heavy, so we had to find […]Read More »
