I came home and told Scott the plan thinking he’d be on board (how could he NOT?!) but he wasn’t convinced. So today, we’re going to play around with his idea and my idea until something feels right for both of us. (But I’m pretty convincing, sooo…..)

When planning the new pantry layout, we had to think about all the things we’d need to store: Food (of course), cleaning supplies, workshop-y things (like painting tools) and paper supplies. We’re happy to report it not only ALL fits, but we have empty drawers, shelves and bins in every cabinet! ⁠

Our slim lil’ cutie of a ladder

#LTKHome

Can’t get over the fact that our 2” thick ladder fits perfectly in our slimmest drawer.

These clear bins with locking lids have the perfect space for a DYMO label on each handle so we know what’s inside

#LTKHome

In these drawers, we’ve added a Docking Drawer Blade Duo, high-speed, charging unit and a compact folding ladder

The locking lids and stacking capabilities make these affordable bins assure bet for any organization project

#LTKHome

A dozen small bins that hold our fasteners, cutting tools and miscellaneous “keeper" spare parts now live in a series of pullout sliders that bring them into perfect view for easy access

Crisp? Tart? Refreshing? Check, check, and check! This viral mocktail was posted last year, and I’ve received requests to re-share as we head into our New Year resolutions.

I had been dealing with debilitating fatigue for years. I slept 14+ hours a day, needed long midday naps, and still felt exhausted beyond belief. Doctors gave me no real answers beyond “eat better and exercise more,” which I was already doing.

At my therapist’s suggestion, I saw a functional medicine doctor who changed my life. She ran tests I didn’t know existed and uncovered root issues tied to gut health and genetics. With her guidance, I adjusted my diet, started targeted supplements, adjusted my anxiety medications, cut out caffeine, and swapped cocktails for mocktails!

It’s been 2 years since making those changes, and I can honestly say I’m a different person today. I FEEL things again, like happiness and excitement and joy, and I can’t even remember the Kim that used to count the hours until that nightly glass of wine.

Whether you’re trying to cut back on alcohol, challenging yourself to a Dry January or just love a good mocktail, I can’t recommend this one enough! This one is my go-to and you probably have all of these on hand already! It’s crisp, light, tart, and so easy.👇🍋‍🟩🍋‍🟩

Enjoy!

And yes, it MUST be Topo Chico!

Hi, there! We’re Kim + Scott, Chicago-based home designers creating rooms that feel like a hug. We’ve been building an online community of fellow home-obsessed friends for almost 17 years, and we’re so happy you’re here! Here’s what you might not know about us, on a more personal note.👇

▪️We were neighbors in college, fell in love over our shared joy of music and horror films, married in 2008, and have been together for over 22 years.

▪️Yellow Brick Home started and as a blog in 2009, where we wrote about transforming our builder-grade Chicago condo together – all 650 sq ft of it! The blog is still active today, and the name Yellow Brick Home is an ode to the yellow brick exterior of the condo building, the first home we purchased together in Chicago!

▪️While struggling with infertility (a pain I wish on no one), we booked a weekend away in nearby Sawyer, Michigan to take a brain break. We were instantly smitten with the area, bought a tiny fixer upper, and we now rent that home on Airbnb! (We later found out I was pregnant on that very trip.🥹)

▪️Pet rescue is our passion. We’ve adopted 5 pets together (not all at the same time of course!) and as a small human family of 3, we find endless joy over fostering dogs in search of their forever homes.

▪️Speaking of, we’re a family of 3 by choice, and waiting until our mid-thirties to have a child was intentional (albeit delayed by fertility issues). Our daughter Lucy just turned 8, and we consider ourselves a power trio! We are complete.

▪️We’d describe our style as cozy, classic, and cheeky. We enjoy sharing ways to make your home feel warm and achievable – with a dash of quirk.

▪️Smaller homes have our hearts all day long. A tiny home encourages creativity, outside-of-the-box problem solving, and endless opportunities for togetherness.

▪️We believe in equal rights of all people, love is love, and gun reform NOW, because our kids deserve a safer, better world than the one they’re on track to inherit.

If you’d like to share, we’d love to learn something about you! xx

My favorite part of any design project has arrived. Let’s install some room jewelry!
