With three young kids, we move kind of slow here with projects. But quality is never sacrificed in our 1927 Tudor home. This is one of my favorites to date and my husband did an amazing job 🤩!

Hydrangeas make me happy. Our vanilla strawberries did great last year, but our limelights struggled after that deep February freeze. My brother-in-law, who owns a landscape company and helped us plant them, told me exactly what to use this spring which we hadn’t done before.
If you want the fertilizer he recommends for healthy & thriving hydrangeas, comment SPRING and I’ll send it to you. Spring will be here in five weeks 🌸

My top liked project reel of 2025! We finished this project in 2024 but I didn’t get to recap until last year. This dual-purpose room has been amazing for us and it’s been fun seeing many of you inspired by it.
That beautifully disguised murphy bed took longer to build because of 3 kids, work and you know…life. If you have an amazing idea, don’t be discouraged if it takes awhile to complete because good things take time. This was my husband’s first attempt building custom inset cabinetry and | just don’t know if there’s anything he can’t do.
Comment “MAKEOVER” to get details on room dimensions, materials and tutorial + everything you see styled in this room.

A lot can change in 16 years.
I made this once for 2024, so here’s a Part 2 — a little recap of 2025 🤍
Our first place together held long days, late nights, and big dreams — I was just starting my career while working a second job and commuting by bus. I never could’ve imagined the life we’re living now.
This year brought more color to our home, a personalized girls’ bedroom, a long-overdue new bed (RIP Brian’s bachelor bed 😄), and more time enjoying our outdoor space.
Feeling deeply grateful for this season and the path that led us here. And if this year was hard for you — may the new one bring peace and happiness. #2025recap
