  • Custom Cabinets: The Dramatic Conclusion

    Custom Cabinets: The Dramatic Conclusion

    March 28, 2019
    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

    Custom Cabinets That Changed Our Lives

    March 23, 2019
    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 »

    Playing Pretend With a Girl’s Nursery

    May 14, 2018
    Baby Boy Muratet has been around for 2 months now, and we’ve got just a few finishing touches to go on his awesome nursery. (It’s really just those last details- isn’t the final 10% of a project the hardest to get done?) But, we’ve also got two nieces arriving in July, and I’ve had so […]Read More »

    Baby Muratet’s Nursery Plan

    April 3, 2018
    We welcomed our little boy to the world on March 13th, and I’ve been working on a plan for his room for quite some time. Is it nearly done? Obviously not. But you know what? Newborns can’t see past about 14 inches away for the first little while, so he’ll have NO IDEA that his […]Read More »
  • Budget Bathroom Refresh

    Budget Bathroom Refresh

    February 14, 2018
    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…?

    February 7, 2018
    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

    April 25, 2017
    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

    March 28, 2017
    We’re back this week sharing a simple DIY with you, and a timely one! I’ve gone into full-on Plant Lady mode lately, and with the emergence of Spring, it’s the perfect time to build your own simple planter. This is an easy one: inexpensive, quick, beginner DIY, and minimal supplies. Midcentury-modern style planters have been […]Read More »

    Project Jenjamin: A Shared Office

    February 15, 2017
    This past weekend, Ben and I took advantage of the final days of the Elfa sale at the Container Store to make a plan for our office closet. And then we spent 4 hours going through everything that we had previously piled into that closet. So, that was fun. Once we got things sorted, it […]Read More »
  • Project Jenjamin: A Mudroom Plan

    Project Jenjamin: A Mudroom Plan

    January 15, 2017
    In the past few years we’ve noticed that mudrooms have become incredibly popular. And we totally get it- having a “landing space” for your stuff when you get home can make such a difference in keeping things more organized. Plus, it’s another fun room to design! A lot of people go neutral with the style, […]Read More »

    Working With What You’ve Got: No. 1

    November 22, 2016
    After renovating our master bath, of course we got the itch to update the guest bathroom as well. However, we’re totally not there yet- mentally, emotionally, or financially- but that doesn’t mean I can’t think about it. While my mind is spinning with ideas for a huge overhaul- that project is a long way away. […]Read More »

    Project Jenjamin: Outdoor Vibes for the Front Porch

    September 14, 2016
    It’s just now reaching a temperature in Atlanta where I’ll consent to be outside for any length of time, unless I’m being forced to build a gate. So, it’s got me thinking about making over our outdoor spaces, BIG TIME. You may be thinking “but summer’s almost over”, and I’m thinking “Yes. Exactly. Thank goodness.” […]Read More »

    Project Jenjamin: Master Bathroom Plans

    August 10, 2016
    It all started with a little stroll around Floor and Decor. While I was waiting for my order for Project Concrete Condo to be pulled, I couldn’t help but do a little meandering. (P.S. the contractors are killing it right now on that project, and I can’t wait to share the after pictures!) I stumbled across […]Read More »

    Happy Housiversary: A look at the first 365 days

    August 3, 2016
    A year ago on the 24th of July, Ben and I tricked someone into selling us their house! (Well, it was actually a legitimate transaction and everything, but it felt like trickery. Are you sure we’re old enough/ financially secure enough/ responsible enough to own our own home? Are you sure?) It felt- and still […]Read More »

    Getting Horizontal with a Modern Fence Gate

    July 19, 2016
    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 »

    Five on Friday: Volume 1

    July 1, 2016
    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 Hacked Rasts!

    June 23, 2016
    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 »

    Creating a House List

    June 13, 2016
    Ben and I are quickly approaching our one-year housiversary (which is blowing my mind, by the way), and it’s sent me into a bit of “nesting” frenzy. Every little project that we’ve done to make the house our own has been so thrilling and satisfying, it’s started to snowball in my head a little bit. […]Read More »

    Rasts on Rasts on Rasts

    June 2, 2016
    Meet RAST. He’s a simple kind of fellow- but he’s just bursting with potential. RAST probably looks familiar to you, because according to my in-no-way-scientific assessment, RAST is among the most-hacked Ikea products of all time. And with good reason. Dear RAST is only $35. And unlike most Ikea products, the body is actually completely […]Read More »
