#ad Lowe’s and I teamed up to show you that hardware is the jewelry of your bathroom and kitchen. The right accessories can make your space feel intentional and cohesive. Whether you want a quick update or want a full renovation, remember small details like hardware finish and fixture colors matter.
Which is your favorite?

A moment for the custom made dress my mom hand-sewed while on my body 🩵💍 it was the most perfect dress paired with my Napa Louboutins and Chanel rectangle Black and White sunglasses.

Let’s take a moment & appreciate the shoes 😍

Red bottoms are my thing and these Silver Sandaloo platforms allowed me the comfort of dancing in them all night long.

#ad I partnered with Lowe’s to curate the perfect hardware and fixture selection for my home renovation but you don’t need a full remodel to change the entire feeling of your space. A simple change of hardware or fixture finish might solve your problem.

Which color finish is your favorite? Mine depends on the space that it is in. I chose Matte Black for my former house, it complimented the space beautifully. But in our new home it competes with our tiles, stones and paint colors.

Is this something you would consider instead of a full blown remodel??

#ad I’ve partnered with Lowe’s to show how one simple color can change the entire feeling of your bathroom or kitchen and it doesn’t require a full remodel!
The simple color choice of your hardware and fixtures can warm your room and soften modern lines, it can feel bold and empowering or compete with everything.
The right finish can make everything feel curated and the best part? This can be a quick weekend project for almost anyone!

Every day is good day to plan your dream closet. I’m building mine with IKEA and can’t wait for it to come to life! Our LG Wash tower has already arrived. What’s the one feature you’d want in your dream closet?

#LTKHome

This walk in pantry was planned with every detail in mind. We measured every shelf to fit each custom spice jar, glass container and canned goods. It was built into the actual wall between the studs and trimmed out. I can’t wait to incorporate a similar smaller wall in our new pantry!

#LTKHome

My previous guest bath, I loved the subtle elegance of this bathroom. Every detail made this perfect from the tile to the LED mirror

#LTKHome

If there’s one things that’s for sure, it’s that an LED mirror will be going in almost every bathroom design.

#LTKHome #LTKselfcare

One of my favorite transformations is always the primary closet!

#LTKHome

I’m obsessed with how this lime wash changed our red brick fireplace into a calm, white one in under a day.

#LTKHome

One of my favorite moments - when we finished installing our skylights after 2 days of learning how! This house is making us stronger one project at a time

#LTKHome #LTKdayinmylife

One of my favorite features from my last house that we’re incorporating into this home is the LG wash tower in the primary closet. There is something about having the unit right there in the same room that is hard to beat.

This closet is about the same length but half the width of our new one that we converted from an old bedroom.

Unboxing our mailbox brought me so much joy. The one that came with the house was falling apart after a snow plow hit it last winter and it never fully recovered. The magnetic numbers on this are incredible. I ordered it for my last house and got so many compliments on it that I had to order it again.

#LTKHome

The most beautiful mailbox, had to order it again for this home

Testing driving our mower for the first time last year after coming back from a girls weekend in Florida

#LTKHome

When you have 7 dead trees dropped in a day you do what you have to do to clean them up. In this case it meant dragging them off the road and pulling them into our yard to chop up and burn!

Get yourself a lawn mower that does more than simply mow your yard 🤪

#LTKHome #LTKMens

A gift they’ll actually reach for - a personalized tool

#LTKMens #LTKValentine

We’re feeling 💪 thanks to our Dewalt Grabo tools! Each of these lifts up to 265 lbs allowing us to lift a window into place and make all the adjustments as needed. These also work on tiles and pavers!

#LTKstorytime #LTKHome

We have just *a few* lights to hang in the house 😅

I can’t wait for this house to light up like a Christmas tree! We have been living by (Dewalt) candlelight for a few months. These planograms I created have been so helpful for us as we DIY this home back to life

#LTKstorytime #LTKMens #LTKHome

Happy Valentines Day to my forever valentine ❤️

Our future coat closet!
We are utilizing every inch of this house possible and even adding square footage by taking some from the current garage. We plan to add on a massive 3-stall garage addition and the current garage will become a home gym and workshop. With that happening, we decided to add a 12’x6’ coat closet for all the winter things!

We can’t wait to have everything organized in here.

#LTKHome #LTKstorytime

Our future primary closet 💕

We eliminated this old small bedroom and transformed three bedrooms into our future primary suite. Inside you’ll find 12x13 closet that will be complete with an LG wash tower and floor to ceiling IKEA PAX and Billy units! We can’t wait for this simply room to become the jewel of the primary suite

#LTKHome #LTKstorytime

This mini pneumatic palm nailer may be small but it is MIGHTY 💪

We have used this time and time again from vaulting our ceiling, securing our LVLs, building floor joists and more.

#LTKHome #LTKMens

If you would have told me how many times we’d use this to mix concrete I’d have said you’re crazy.

Jokes on me because we poured over 10 footings, filled in the crawlspace floor and leveled out where the old fireplace was. We still have 2 trenches in the basement to fill in as well!

Same goes for our concrete saw and jack hammer…never thought we’d justify buying both of those over renting them but here we are! Glad we invested in them early versus renting each time we needed them.

#LTKMens #LTKstorytime #LTKHome

Just another day in the life use for my pruners!

I love using these to trim my flowers and make them last longer. It’s the perfect tool for the gardener/flower lover in your life.

You can use these on big branches to prune trees or on a whole bunch of asparagus to trim them quickly.

#LTKHome #LTKdayinmylife

Spring time is almost here and that means starting to plan our outdoor projects and gardens.

If you plan on digging a garden or putting in a fence, a post hole auger might be the perfect addition to your garage tools.

We borrow this one from my parents whenever we have a lot of digging to do since it makes the entire project easier and less back breaking. You’re hands stay a bit cleaner, you save your back and loosen the soil all with the click of a button.

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

Planting your garden is a whole lot easier when you use an auger to dig your rows. Plus it mixes the soils together so you don’t have to.

The different size augers are a game changer for planting vegetables to digging holes for a post.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

If you love extreme DIY wins that actually pay you back, this one’s for you.
Hit play and watch insulation get serious.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKstorytime #LTKHome

Proud doesn’t begin to cover how we felt after we installed our skylights for our primary bedroom!

If you want to have natural light added to your room - these fixed skylights with a built-in shade are perfect! Whether you are avid DIYer like us or hire it done, they’re worth the cost if you ask usb

#LTKMens #LTKdayinmylife #LTKHome

Ready to cut a hole in your roof and call it “natural lighting”? 😎🔨

This one’s for the extreme DIY homeowner who looks at a ceiling and thinks, “Yeah… I can open that up.”

#LTKstorytime #LTKHome #LTKMens

Some people gift jewelry. We gift personalized tools 😌🧰 Because practical can still be thoughtful — and way more useful

#LTKSeasonal #LTKValentine #LTKMens

Just digging a casual 12’ trench through basement clay for our new primary bath sewer line 😌💪 Turns out this battery-powered auger doesn’t care how stubborn the clay is. What should’ve been a back-breaking nightmare? Done

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKstorytime #LTKHome

Me every spring: ‘It’s just a few plants.’ Also me: digging 47 holes 😂 Thankfully this auger makes it quick, easy, and blister-free so we can get straight to the fun part — planting.

Save yourself the headache and get yours now so when you’re ground thaws you can get right to work!

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal #LTKMens

Testing the mower’s towing capacity for… reasons.

Moving a 20’ 900lb steel beam from the driveway to inside the house was challenging but not impossible 😅 enjoy a very sped up video of how we got it inside!
