#ad This project was LONGGG overdue. With summer knocking on the door we figured it was finally time to color match this random spot of our window trim. I (very easily) peeled off a patch of the existing paint, about an 1”. Then I took it to Lowe’s and they were able to color match it exactly! Now we can use this to patch in all our siding around our new windows this summer!

#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.

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

We updated our front porch just in time for summer! It’s hard to decide what’s my favorite part but these solar lights are definitely up there. They are the perfect solution for almost anyone. Are you looking to add light to your outdoor space but on a tight budget? Maybe you don’t have a big yard or any yard at all? Maybe you just want to light up near your steps but don’t want to have to plug it in.

For a limited time these solar lights are on sale for $4!! These are perfect to light up a pathway or even your planters to give your outdoor space some much needed ambiance. These won’t last so head to Lowe’s to grab yours.

POV: you update one little corner of your home… and suddenly everything feels like summer again

We kept our front porch refresh simple with a new rug, fresh lavender + hydrangeas, solar garden lights, and of course a crisp new American flag. Sometimes the smallest updates make the biggest difference in how your home feels.

#ad Looking to update your outdoor space but not sure where to start? Try these 3 easy steps:

1. Some new fresh flowers - whether you have a yard or a patio. Planters work great for small spaces, maybe you have an event coming up where you want the space filled with plants but have a yard to transplant them in right after the event. We chose hydrangeas, lavender and boxwoods to keep our front porch looking fresh!
2. Fresh coat of paint. Who knows the last time this house was painted but it’s chipping and there was a patch of the dark trim color painted right on the siding. It was finally time to give our porch a quick refresh with color matching paint!
3. Some cozy items - we chose a fresh rug, some new pillows for our bench and some solar nights to enjoy the space in the evening. If you have the space, maybe a beautiful umbrella to shade you while you have your morning coffee? Or a cozy rocking chair to relax in after work. Maybe it’s refreshing the old cushions on your furniture that have been there for years like mine.

What is one thing you’d like to update about your space?

#ad For the last few months, our front step felt like an afterthought. The paint colors were patched, the bench had definitely seen better days, and the whole space just felt... forgotten.

Meanwhile, the inside of our house has been in constant renovation chaos, so finally giving this little corner some attention felt necessary. With some help from Lowe’s, a new rug, fresh
flowers, and solar lights, suddenly this became the one spot that actually feels finished. A place where we can sit and enjoy fresh air with our breakfast before starting the project of the day.
The place where we sit at the end of a long renovation day and pretend the rest of the house is done too.

What is one quick update you would do to refresh your outdoor space?

The beautiful part of painting at this stage of the renovation is that we hardly have to tape anything! We had no floors, no doors, no trim, no outlets/switches - there’s nothing! Other than the ceiling line.

We’re 9 gallons of paint in and we have 12 more to go 😳

#LTKHome #LTKdayinmylife

We already applied 14 gallons of primer and 9 gallons of paint to the walls and ceiling and we’re not even close to done!

Here’s my favorite tip for painting with a roller - use blue tape!

We finalized our paint color for most of the man floor!

We chose the Infinity HGTV Home by Sherwin Williams exclusively at Lowe’s. This paint is stain repellent, scuff and scratch resistant and antimicrobial! After pouring 9 months of love into every detail of the home we knew we wanted our walls protected.

Our color: Neutral Ground 🤍

This color went perfectly with our beautiful natural stone that will be coming in the next few months. We have 4 different rooms that will showcase this beautiful stone so we needed a color that complimented it.

Stay tuned for the color for our primary closet, coat closet and guest bathroom!

#ad A re-wheel-y big upgrade just arrived!

Last fall we abandoned this old wheelbarrow after we loaded it up with concrete and dirt and the wheel popped. In the rush to get the house insulated before winter, we left the broken wheelbarrow outside with every intention of dealing with it, someday. Well winter came and winter went.

This weekend we finally got the project rolling again - literally! We teamed up with Lowe’s again for their SpringFest savings! For a limited time only - now through April 22nd, SpringFest deals get your yard ready for the season!

#LowesPartner @Loweshomeimprovement #SpringFest #SpringSavings

#LTKSeasonal #LTKSaleAlert #LTKHome

#ad We left this out here all winter…
not by choice—but by defeat.
It was broken, full of concrete, and honestly… we were done fighting it.
But then spring rolled around…and Lowe’s SpringFest savings had the perfect solution!
Now we can actually clean this up and then clean up our yard!

Thankfully the Lowe’s app makes planning your spring projects a breeze with their My Quotes. I am able to browse all their products, create a plan and easily track the project budget. When the weather and I are ready, all I need to do is place the order and decide whether to pick it up at the store or have it all delivered!

Follow along to watch this project come to life this spring!

#ad Lowe’s and I teamed up this year to show how easy it is to plan all your spring projects regardless of if the weather is cooperating outside! We built this garden enclosure last year in a day but plan on moving our garden out of the weeds and making 2-3x bigger this year.

I love keeping track of the project in the My Quotes tab in the Lowe’s app. It allows me to browse all their products, easily compare material costs and add products as I think of them. Once you are ready, simply place the order and you’re ready to tackle your project! Follow along to see how this project turns out!

#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.

#LTKHome

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

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.
