We were able to have early access to all of this year’s best prime day deals, and are sharing our top picks. We will make sure to update this Amazon prime day guide by category today and tomorrow. This year’s deals include many home favorites!
Our small space laundry room was a challenge to use due to the door opening into the space vs. outward. It required some mild ninja level skills to get laundry in and out! Once the dryer died, we went ahead and rode the wave through a whole renovation of the space. Thinking through how we would use this space, we decided to maximize every inch!
I love to slowly gather gifts throughout the year when I find small boutiques or neat local shops. I am also always ordering a few gifts last-minute when I am out of time to shop. I love shopping for loved ones, but I can rarely name things I personally am wishing for. (Poor Gabe is usually playing the guessing game.) This gift guide forced me to sit down and scour the internet for things I would personally love, but also things I would want to give to my own mom, sisters, or friends.
We often get asked what tools we think are most important to have on hand. These are my most-used and well-loved tools I would recommend to any homeowner or renter! If you’d like to support your local hardware store, just bring this list below!
In many ways, this kitchen is the heart of our home. We spend hours a day here prepping meals, and an equal amount of time cleaning up. It’s where long conversations between Gabe and I happen late at night while we clean, and where we get the day started packing lunches before school in the morning. This is probably why it has been the most exciting project to see come to life. It hasn’t been without hurdles, intensive problem solving, and many nights in a makeshift kitchen. It’s been something we have really valued getting to share with our IHOD community, and we hope you feel like you learned something along the way! Today we are giving you the official tour, sources, and contractor info. It’s a hefty post so grab a cup of your favorite beverage and cozy up!
It’s that time of year where we come out of the clouds of the holidays and re-visit our life projection plan. We break down our priorities and re-set any tangents happening;) It is a time to review our direction in all areas of life – marriage, family, home, etc. Today we are going to share the project goals we have for our current home here in Nashville for the upcoming year. I have learned to really appreciate the process of our home evolving with us over time. Maybe not so much the chaos of our kitchen being out of commission while juggling homework and dinner time, but you get the idea. Our goal with our renovation has always been to create a home environment that is conducive to the flow of our daily life. A place that makes us all feel at home to rest, play, work, and spend time together.
We are on week 3 in our kitchen renovation timeline, and so far we are on schedule thanks to our cabinet company. They have done an incredible job working efficiently and communicating well. Today I wanted to share a look at the progress of the unpainted cabinetry as well as a first look at all of the hardware and lighting elements we are incorporating. I admit I got a little decision fatigue toward the end of this design process, and it took me a while to decide on the final details!
