We’re a couple of homebodies, working to uncover the home our home wants to be. And we’re so happy to have you here.

Befores, afters, mood boards, plans, failures, wins. We’ve done a lot of projects, and they’re all here. 

We have a long-standing relationship with DIY, and love rolling our sleeves up and making it happen. 

Even when you don’t want to rip down a wall, you can make that space in your home better. Right now.

I am a mom.  And today:
 Greta looked even more beautiful.  
Young boys raised the flag–for all the moms
(some of them in their Christmas jammies)
Chris spoiled me with 18 ft of canvas
