Next up on our new construction framing adventure – first floor interior walls! This was the point in our construction process when we could truly start to get a “real life” sense for our how main floor was going to be laid out and how it was going to feel. Our first floor is pretty much
ATG&D Dream Home | Exterior Inspiration
One of the first things we had to decide when building our dream home (after floor plans, of course) is our exterior colors and materials. G and I had already spent the past year dreaming about our “dream home” exterior so this was actually a relatively easy decision for us – surprisingly we were on the same page! I say
ATG&D Dream Home | Framing (1st Floor Exterior)
We have walls! I loved watching the framing stage of our new home construction. It’s so interesting to see how everything goes up and gets put together, and before you know it you’ve got the bones of your new house in place! Yesterday I shared the start of our framing with the lower level, and now
ATG&D Dream Home | Framing (Lower Level)
I have so many pictures of the framing stage of our new home construction that I need to buy a new external hard drive just to store them all. It’s like those first time mom days when you take fifty-eleven-hundred photos of your new baby because she looks different every day. And from every angle! And
Kid Friendly Bathroom Fixtures
On Tuesday I revealed our marble and glass tile bathroom makeover, and today I’m gushing about the awesome kid friendly bathroom fixtures we selected. A couple of years ago I was invited by Delta Faucet to visit their headquarters and get a behind the scenes look at their products and brand. Since that experience I’ve become
36
Today I’m celebrating 36 years alive on this Earth and I woke up thinking about Kate’s response in her kindergarten interview when I asked, “What’s the best thing about being 5 years old?” She answered, “…I’m just glad that I’m 5 years old. I’m glad for my age. I’m glad for any age.” Oh the
Marble and Glass Tile Bathroom Makeover
What do you get when you combine a Type A personality with the most gorgeous marble and glass tile you’ve ever seen? A bathroom makeover that took me more than a year to complete! This marble and glass tile bathroom is the biggest DIY project I’ve ever tackled, and my goodness she turned out so pretty. This
ATG&D Dream Home | Foundation
Construction on our new house has been underway, and it’s hard to believe I’m saying this, but it’s moving so fast! It seems like I usually hear from people who’ve built that the process is slow and drags on longer than expected but that hasn’t been our experience at all so far. Our builders – Classic
Amanda & Levi | Western Engagement Pictures
I was 9 years and 9 months old when she was born. I wasn’t even home at the time. I’d been away at camp or visiting family members, or something along those lines. And I’d been gone for a good stretch – I can’t remember how long, but certainly long enough that almost 10 year old me
#GMCHTA | The Yaro Family’s Home
I have wonderful news – the Yaro family closed on their new home last week! It was such an honor to be a part of this year’s GMC Hidden Treasure Adventure (#GMCHTA), joining GMC and a team of amazingly talented home, DIY and design bloggers. Together we drove across the country in GMC Yukon Denalis, shopping the World’s
