This was our first complete room refresh, inspired by the One Room Challenge. We’ve receive a lot of requests for details, mostly for the floor and cabinets, so we put this together to share the plan, challenges, learnings, and budget for this project.

This one was a lot of fun. Originally intended to be a One Room Challenge refresh painting cabinets and replacing doors / drawers with an european-inspired inset style, this one got away from us. Here is a breakdown of the plan its evolution, and the challenges, learnings, and budget for this project.

Have you felt that springtime urge to transform your yard into a sunny retreat? We did too! Our neglected yard had potential, but we wanted a space for year-round gatherings for friends and family. The result? A 3-part project: a brick patio, an outdoor kitchen, and a gazebo. Check out the brick patio breakdown here, with links to the rest!
