Life is too easy. I clearly don’t have enough going on, so I’ve decided to also try and freshen up my front room. This space has been on my radar for a long time. I’m a big front door person, so this is literally the first thing people see in my house. And it’s just…
One month in … and lots of progress has been made. We’ve got all the framing done (I think), the roofing laid out, and just need to make it actually livable. So, electrical, plumbing, insulation, drywall, windows, shingles, and doors. Pretty much nothing left to do. In real life when you compare the pictures from…
Dare I say that I actually got things accomplished this week? Might be a bit of an exaggerated hope, but even though everything is going to take WEEKS to come in… it feels good to have made progress on some things. I have been itching to get up and see how the second floor looks.…
Source: Kelsey Leigh Design Ah, the kitchenette. So simple at first glance… and then it got complicated. I made it complicated, but still it got there. I talked about it in this post about what my intentions were for the space and why I wanted the features that I wanted. BUT, then I talked to a…
So this was a relatively big week – but at the same time not a whole lot happened from a construction perspective. I spent a lot of time this week on the kitchenette. Like a lot of time. But it all feels really valuable. Designing the kitchenette is important because it’s not easy to change…
Source: Room for Tuesday As part of the garage project, I’m including a friendly little kitchenette.

… and we are back for update and design posts! The garage construction has officially started and is running right along. It is amazing how quickly new construction can go up when compared to rehabbing a 1900s beach house. A little preamble? Prior to this week, we’ve repaired the septic system, demoed the existing garage,…
source: Houzz Life has just been to easy – so I decided to finally start the last phase of my renovation… the garage. Sounds so simple, but of course my vision is a bit more complicated than that. The original garage was perfectly charming. I loved the stucco walls, lofted storage area, and bath house…
Every January my body feels a sudden urge to declutter every aspect of my house. I try to save it for the coldest, grossest winter days but it’s hard. The urge to purge is strong. Last January, Ashley from The Gold Hive got the internet started on decluttering our houses with a wonderful checklist. I…
I’m in this serious nesting phase right now where I want to make aspects of my house feel more like a cohesive design. After over a year of living here, I finally bought window treatments. Then of course the corona virus hit, and the window treatments could not be installed… but that is still progress…
