Of the three bathrooms in the house, the downstairs bathroom is the one I can most clearly visualize coming together. Awhile back I wrote up some background on the space, but now it is time to introduce some of what is swirling around in my head. As previously stated, this bathroom is more than just…
Guys. After a month of looking at dumb plumbing fixtures … and feeling like I was “done” making decisions, I’m not. Or am I? WHO KNOWS ANYMORE. I had started months ago by just saying “do the whole house in Kohler Bancroft!” please and thank you. Then, I had a poor experience with a sales…
When I was looking back on the pictures from this week, it was hard to believe all of this happened in just 5 days. It was exciting when the house landed on its foundation last week, but man – the progress just keeps happening. Each day was something new. In one day alone, we added…
After several weeks of very quiet progress, week 17 was one where we picked up momentum again. The biggest thing? The house is on the foundation. That’s right. After about 3 months in the air, the old lady finally landed on her brand spanking new foundation. With the house finally in its resting spot, everything…
Happy 4-month-aversary to my construction site! This would be a perfect time to travel back in time and do some side by side comparisons but maybe we’ll save that for next week.

I’ve been jumping into more of the design details recently but was drawn to reflect on some of the differences between the design iterations over the past year plus. I’m so excited about where this house is going – and how far it is from the awkward designs of a year ago. Here are some…
So not much to report. The house hasn’t moved. Which means, the house looks exactly the same as it did last week – and perhaps even the week before. But, it’s getting closer. Every week I say this, but as soon as the house moves onto the foundation this work is going to really pick…
If I’ve learned one thing about myself in this process, it is that I will never stick to my first decision. I come out of it feeling pretty confident and accomplished …. and then whamo. Change my mind. It’s not that big of a deal and honestly kind of expected. But the bathtub is the…
I’m pretty deep into the mood boards right now – and as part of that trying to pick out actual products to put on the boards. Novel concept right? I’d like to note the worst parts about this whole process are: conflicting advice cost trying to pick a lasting aesthetic industry leaders Conflicting Advice examples:…
So – not much. These weekly posts were easier to write when work was actually happening and it was not freezing cold. Also, I’ve been buried in mood boards so all my mental writing energy is on faucets. I know this sounds totally bananas but it hit me yesterday that I literally had to buy…
