Our Home Reno

By onlymeridith

Here’s all the content relating to our own home renovation, linking all products here!

Back at it again with my favorite design experiment!

I take my real design plans and let AI try to turn them into a photo… and the results? A little magical, a little chaotic, and always fun to compare to the real thing.

This one was created while trying to design my daughter Hazel’s room.. and while we haven’t decided on a final style yet, I absolutely love how this came out!

Who would love to see this badass design come to life for the little girl in your life? Drop a ⚡️ below!

There’s something about building in the middle of your real, everyday life that makes the dust and chaos feel different. This isn’t just a project on a job site — it’s our home, our kids’ space, and the walls that hold the loud, messy, beautiful parts of our family.

Last week, our Houseal Construction crew stepped away from other jobs to spend a few days here, and in the thick summer heat, they worked their hearts out to get this dormer standing. Watching it take shape so quickly was incredible — not just because it’s progress, but because it’s possibility.

Hazel will soon have her own room, the boys will have theirs, and we’ll finally reclaim our living room from the maze of mattresses it’s been this past week (though we know there are still several more weeks ahead). In the meantime, we’re making it work — movie nights, staying up later than we should, laughing in the mess, and knowing this season won’t last forever.

One day, we’ll look back at this project and remember not just the walls we built, but the nights we spent together in the middle of it all. That’s the thing about building your forever home — it’s not just about the finished space. It’s about the life you live while you’re making it.

What do you do when your team has a small gap between projects? You make moves on your own reno, apparently 😅

We’ve got a carport going up, dormers getting framed, and a roof that’s no longer keeping water out — but hey, progress! Big shoutout to the crew for showing up strong at HCS HQ and to the kids for surviving their living room slumber party

📍Next stop: weatherproofing + windows. Let’s gooo.

If your fridge always feels overstuffed… you need to see this.

We’ve been trying to eat healthier, meal prep more, and just keep our kitchen functioning better overall — but our old fridge/freezer combo wasn’t cutting it.

We needed space for all the fresh produce (seriously, why does lettuce take up an entire shelf??) — and running out to the garage freezer every time we wanted to grab venison or frozen meals? Not the vibe.

So we made the switch: a stand-up fridge and a full stand-up freezer. More room, better flow, and way less digging.

The best part? Both units together were around $1600 — less than most fridge/freezer combos these days. We linked them in our LTK if you’re curious.

No ice maker or water dispenser (our old ones were broken anyway), but the extra storage has been a total game changer.

Would you split your fridge and freezer?

It’s been a minute since I shared an update on what we having going on at the cabin.

As you know if you’ve been around awhile, my kids all share one bedroom. We love our cabin and have done so well adapting to the space we have (even as our family has continued to grow), but we are so ready for this next step.

Right now we have one main bedroom and a secondary “bedroom” or play space connected by this catwalk. Filling in the space beside the catwalk to create more floor space is the first step to creating another bedroom up here. Once the floors are in, we will be putting on dormers along the front to gain straight walls as opposed to the A-frame we have had until now.

This change is only going to get us about 150-ish square feet, but my goodness is it worth it! So many more options for storage, organization, and just space to LIVE!

Every detail is planned with purpose to make the space work for our family... not just today, but years from now. It is not fast, and it is not always pretty in progress, but it is ours.

Can’t wait to share more as things keep moving forward.

Turning this loft into a real bedroom—one weekend and one project at a time. While we’re still mid-renovation (hello spackle dust and missing IKEA parts), I wanted to share some of the cozy pieces we’ve added to make this space feel lived-in even while we work. Linking the curtains we used, a similar dresser and rug, and a lamp that gives that same warm, soft glow we love up here.

Building the big stuff takes time, but these little layers of decor are what make it feel like home already.

Our mudroom is clean(ish) and I’m calling it a win.

For a family of 5, this space does a lot of heavy lifting—yes, there are still backpacks, bike helmets, and Kyle’s tools (because: life), but it works for us and that’s what matters.

Sharing a few of the things that help keep it functional—hooks, baskets, and the butcher block bench we put together that I’m super proud of.

It just made sense to finally replace the broken dining area window too.

It’s been cracked for years — one of those “we’ll get to it eventually” things.
But while we’re in renovation mode, we figured, why not go a little bigger?

Added about a foot of width, and somehow that tiny change makes the whole space feel lighter, brighter, better.

One project rolls into the next around here — but this one? This one felt really satisfying.

And yep — that’s our DIY cement dining table we built a few years back, still holding strong.
