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.

We recently painted our study a dark, moody green color. This is after we first painted it a muddy green, then repainted it a blue-gray. I guess what they say is true; third time’s a charm! The journey was worth it, though, because I’m so in love with this glossy green in contrast with the […]

[…] address this in our 2015 projects to look for post and hopefully have answers by then. 6. When we painted the great room, we didn’t extend the paint into the adjoining staircase because it required a little more […]

Quick question if you can, you didn’t paint the trim did you?
Could I ask you where you got the arch floor lamp in the living room? I am trying to find one that is not too expensive. Yours looks nice, :)
Is it bad I liked the before? I think once the kitchen is done, it will be obvious that this was a good choice! Right now though, I like the contrast of the dark. Sorrrrrrrrry! Please don’t hate me
It’s so BRIGHT and natural and… so so Julie.
That is an amazing transformation. The area has a bright , open vibe to it now. Congratulations on paying off your school loans. As a follower of Dave Ramsey, I can appreciate what you did. It takes great discipline and determination to become debt-free, but it’s awesome when you do!
Looks mucho better!!!!!!!!
It’s amazing the transformation just from paint alone.
Do you have plans for the light over the kitchen table? I have the same issue with ours not being centered and it drives me nuts. I want to move it but am worried about messing up the ceiling.
Absolutely! We had to do this quite a bit in our last house too. It just requires a ceiling patch and texture to match your ceiling (if your ceilings are textured). Most hardware stores sell every kind of texture spray under the sun.
Really makes the rooms feel bigger. Nice color choice!
So much better! Love it!
Wow looks great!
My eyes thank you!
WOW! That made a HUGE difference, I love it! You guys are so on it! I’m two years into my first house and still trying to pull the trigger on artwork and decorating in so many areas of the house (we have 2000 sq ft), it’s literally taking me forever! I feel like everyone in the blogisphere is about 10 steps ahead of me and use your ideas to help me get a move on it, lol. Great job!
Soooooo much better already! The color is great. Glad to see you back in the project saddle. Hope you are feeling well!
wow! That made a WORLD of difference!
what a difference that makes!
Such an awesome change! Love the lighter color! :)
HOLY COW! It looks so good already! I can’t believe it! Why did the original home owners ever think that dark color on ALL THOSE WALLS was a good idea? Fastest way to feel claustrophobic. Geez. The new paint color looks so nice. I totally see dark planked hardwood floors in here. What type of hardwoods are you wanting?
When we were shopping for hardwoods before we decided to pay off all our student loans instead, we decided on a very durable Bamboo. Saving our pennies!!!
