From a weed-filled rock bed with a few sad pine trees… to this.

Two tons of rock, sixty pavers, nineteen bags of sand, and a few too many trips to @loweshomeimprovement later—this backyard is finally finished.

The turf is down, the pavers are perfectly spaced, and I can officially say this one was worth every bucket of granite.

Sharing a full step by step tutorial today on AllisonSkiff.com along with everything I used for this project.

I found myself with a clean first floor for the first time in ages and thought: let’s do a first floor house tour!

Enjoy a spin around the main floor of my home. I’m proud to say some spaces are finally “finished” and you’ll see a couple that have some serious potential (hello dressing room I’m looking at you!) 👠

Do you have a favorite room?

So much progress in the office today! Step one was installing the chair rail. I measured 32” from the floor which is where the top of the chair rail will sit. Next it’s time for the picture frame boxes! I’m using a 2.5” space around mine so I grabbed 2 pieces of scrap wood in this depth and placed the trim, leveled it and then nailed it in place. Tagging everything I’m using for the chair rail and picture frame molding here!

Obsessed would be an understatement 😍

I’ve been thinking about adding a light sconce to this little wall, but frankly the one I wanted cost a fortune and with electrical work on top? No thank you.

So I set out to find a wire free look-a-like and my heart skipped a beat when I found this cutie. Ordered from overseas but worth the duty fees. It doesn’t get more charming than this!

There’s something about a space that looks as calm as it feels.

The new rattan collection from @neatmethod blends timeless design with everyday function. Lightweight black baskets for high shelves, sturdy reeded bins for the heavy hitters, and those signature label holders that make it all feel complete.

Even the smallest details deserve good design.

Nothing humbles you faster than seeing what two tons of rock looks like in your driveway ☠️

If you caught part one, you know this backyard started as a weed-filled rock bed with a few sad pine trees.

After clearing everything out and laying the paver base, this week was all about finishing the layout and installing the turf.

But remember that diamond layout I teased in part one? I was so sure of that plan that I bought all the turf in advance… and now that I’ve switched to a straight design, I’m getting nervous I might run out.

So what do you think — do I have enough to finish, or am I headed back to the hardware store before the reveal? Make sure you stick around to find out what’s next!

My favorite essentials from MALIN + GOETZ! I've been using their lotion for years and it's one of the best finds especially as we head into the cold winter season. Add in the lip balm, moisturizer, face wash and overnight repair cream and you'll feel like you're at a spa! #malingoetz #selfcare #skincare

The sweetest little brass bud vase! I love the etching on it and it’s so heavy! I think this could stand alone or look beautiful paired together as a set of two. #interiordesign #styling #brass

Love this vintage glass and metal trinket box. Such a versatile way to display jewelry, photos or collections like matches. I love the casket coffin-like shape, beveled glass panels, a mirrored bottom, and etched details which make it feel vintage! #interiordesign #styling

Ever get into the tub just to realize half your body’s still cold? Same. This overflow drain cover lets you fill your tub higher—giving you an extra 3–4 inches of water for a true full-body soak. Oh did I mention it’s under $10 (and even less right now for Prime Day!)?

Cheap, easy and seriously one of the best home essentials I’ve found on Amazon.

You’ve probably heard of paintable caulk — but have you heard of tintable caulk?

I’m all about working smarter, not harder, especially with a large-scale renovation like a kitchen. eXact Color takes the guesswork out by letting you color match your caulk to your paint — and it couldn’t be easier.

Here’s how it works:
• Snip the caulk tube open
• Add 20 ml of your paint (measuring tool included)
• Screw the lid on and shake for 60 seconds
• Add the provided thickener
• Shake again for 60 seconds
• Wait 30 minutes
• Caulk as usual

I’ll never buy “paintable” caulk again — once you try this, you won’t either. Total game-changer.

Immediately bought the curling iron my hair stylist used to get this look last week.

I don’t! These are blue readers! I spend so much time on the computer I invested in these 5 years ago and am so thankful I did. Mine are in the style “Felix” and were $95 from @warbyparker You can also try the glasses on with a virtual filter on their site - it’s crazy accurate and fun to play with!

Design is in the details! These paintable outlet covers are SO good and so easy - no electrical work required. Just swap your old cover for these.

They slide right over your existing sockets, no electrical work required, and instantly give you that seamless, designer look. The best part? They’re only $3 — making this the ultimate easy DIY hack for renters or homeowners.
