As I mentioned here, one of our favorite things about being on the Ace Bloggers panel is that there is a real focus on the neighborhood. In fact, we recently had the chance to do a whole project for one of our neighbors. It’s not like we’re hurting for projects to do around here, but to get into a new work setting and see the projects our friends, families and neighbors are in need of has been completely refreshing and motivating.
We’ve partnered with Ace Hardware as a part of their Ace Blogger Panel. Ace has provided us with the tools and materials necessary to complete this project for our lovely friends (class act!), and all opinions are our own. You can check out our fellow Ace bloggers right here.
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]

Did the door project ever end up online? I bought a 90 year old house with the tiniest bathroom with the widest door. There’s not enough wall space for a pocket or barn door, since the bathroom is in what was an outdoor breezeway originally, and cutting a single door down may be the perfect space solution.
After exploring a few of the blog articles onn your website, I honestly like your technique oof writing a blog.
I added it to my bookmark webpage list annd will bbe checking back
in the near future. Please visit my website ttoo andd lett
me know how yoou feel.
This looks awesome! And I absolutely LOVE the doors and textured glass they chose!
Love those pantry door! So cute! The house we live in did not have a pantry when we moved in. However, right outside the kitchen door was a coat closet. We decided to turn it into a pantry because we could live without the coat closet, but with a family of 5 we could not live without a pantry. We hung white metal shelved in it just like the ones you hung. And we moved out coat closet to a closet in the garage. Perfect since that is where we go in and out every day anyway!
The pantry doors are great!
AWESOME LOOKING! I spent Friday buying paint for our new house and then Saturday I spent ripping 30 year old wall paper off of the walls! It took twice as long as I expected. Thankfully we have an Ace Hardware that is 7 minutes from my house! Super handy when say you need a staple gun, primer or a random tool!
So much more functional now and I love the doors. Was there no other shelving option other than the wire stuff?
Yeah, that’s what I was wondering. Wooden shelves would’ve matched the upscale feel of the rest of the kitchen. I kind of thought wire was something you lived with until you could replace it with wood. but maybe the sponsorship wanted them to use wire for some reason.
It’s funny you girls bring that up because after we finished the project, Preston admitted that maybe they should have gone with solid shelves. He was worried that with the overhead light would be blocked with solid shelves originally so we went with the wire–but now they feel like maybe solid would have worked after all. That’s an easy upgrade if they would like to do that down the road. (They said they need time to recover, haha) We’ll even help them! :)
I thought I didn’t like the wire shelves at first either…but the more I think about it…it keeps it airy and they can see what’s on the top shelf easily.
It looks fabulous! Great job!!
Wow oh wow. Looks amazing!! Love those doors, and the white paint really does help brighten it up. Great job!
I’m having some serious pantry envy!!! Fabulous job. It truly looks amazing!

THOSE DOORS! So beautiful. Someday we WILL have a designated pantry. Right now- it’s our hallway linen closet. Annoying, but functional.
Pantry doors = genius move. Perfect for hiding away an overflowing pantry that you don’t have time to keep pristine and organized. Ours is open and it makes me nurture my OCD every day!
