We are in the crazy wonderful final stretch before move-in at the Harper House Project. Well, the final stretch of Phase I. There are a whole variety of phases left to come, I’m sure. But we are so excited to be just weeks away from move in! With Easter just three weeks out, I doubt I’ll […]
An Attic Turned Master Retreat – Before & After

So we are excited to celebrate “Throwback Thursday Renovations” here on the blog, and to take a trip each Thursday down renovation memory lane. We will be looking […]

So just before move-in we reorganized (read “walls came down”) the Cape Cod’s master bedroom to capture some additional […]

Here was the plan: 8 // Bar Stools & Eat-In Space: I’m both stressed about and excited for the eat-in counter.
