And just like that, the deck is 100% complete.

We added 2 different stains to seal and protect with semi solids that still show the wood grain but adds great contrast against the white clapboard exterior of our house.

Can’t wait to make all the memories out here.

December 19th, 2024: Yall…I’m speechless.

And if anyone knows me, knows that’s next to impossible because I’m never quiet and I always have much to say.

But when I stand in this kitchen, I’m speechless. It’s stunning.

We love white kitchens, we do. We didn’t originally plan to paint the cabinets a color, but MAN! We’re elated with how this came out. It’s a blue color but in some lights it has a subtle greenish hue to it. That color really allows the white washed Beadboard ceilings, Taj Mahal Quartzite countertops, and our new porcelain tile to POP! Toss in all new brass hardware and it’s stunning.

There’s a few items left to finish up, but it’s essentially done. Now onto the next project!

May 5th, 2024: Ok, now we’re done.

Again.

We finished the basement rental space back in October of last year. We ultimately decided to hold off on opening up this studio as a medium term rental as we welcomed our newest bundle of joy just 2 months earlier in August.

Then in true below grade basement fashion…

We had a flood in January. As a direct result of days of heavy rain & a failed sump pump. Finally, 4 months later our new flooring and quarter rounds have been replaced.

We cleared Lowe’s inventory with a couple of boxes spared, praying we never have to do this again.

Here’s the finished finished version. Still work left to do with decorating and some finishing touches, but it’s done.
