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 […]

In my corner of the globe a half bath is toilet + sink + shower and a powder room is toilet + sink only. A full bathroom means a bath tub + sink + (usually but not always) toilet, and the bath doesn’t necessarily have a shower built in.
That green certainly is a shocker!
Yep. I would totally play up that green for the Halloween party too!
You guys are awesome. If we run out of time, it is the perfect backup plan.
A couple people already said this, but neon green is totally a halloween color!
This sounds very doable for the next 25 days. Can’t wait to see the results! Do you think you’ll end up keeping the wood cabinet and/or painting it?
We think we’ll paint the cabinets, but definitely keep them in place. Although we’ll see how things look after we paint the walls. :)
I think the current color looks very halloweeny! maybe you should just creep it up more for Halloween then paint it after!
Hahaha. That’s an idea!!!!!
I was thinking the same thing as Nicole! I think your upgrades sound great (and I can’t wait to see them), but if you didn’t get to them in time, adding in black, purple, and orange towels and accessories would make it a very Halloweenish. :)
Love your ideas so far! The open storage could be so cute. Can’t agree with your sister, though. We totally remodeled a bathroom 2 days before Christmas because people were coming over, so doing a few minor improvements will really make a difference and I think people will notice.
And I’m totally with you on the toilet paper holder. I’m also creeped out about wood toilet seats and those squishy toilet seats that some people have/had. It just seems like stuff could live there. ;)
renovators unite!! ;)
I’m so excited to see what you do with this! It will be fantastic, I’m sure. Good luck!

Siblings are so great for providing much needed perspective! I am wondering if all the hooks are perhaps due to a previous owner having health issues such as arthritis or other disability where the use of hooks to hang things is much, much easier than wrangling with a hanger. I could be completely wrong and it doesn’t really matter. Either way you will make the space beautiful as you always do and I can’t wait to see it!
Could be! Also, Idaho is very very snowy and I know the previous family had quite a few kids. I can see loads of backpacks and snow clothes and towels filling up all of the hooks.
I’m with Andi :-)
However, I think the biggest issue is definitely the paint. And if you conquer that, I’m certain the bathroom will feel SO much better. And I’m with ya, that is a weird toilet paper holder. Also, I didn’t expect to see those cupboards though. Storage is key for a bathroom! But seriously, all those hooks for a bathroom that doesn’t have a shower??? Why????
The cupboards are in an interesting bathroom location, BUT this is also our only place to currently stash linens, so we’re grateful they are there. Even if it isn’t near a shower. Hahaha.
