One of our clients has a standard builder-grade home and is trying to figure out how to make it rejuvenating to her. She has great taste but is a busy doctor who needs a refreshing space to come home to. She also wants her kids not to spend a lot of time in front of the TV.

Today we're sharing our experience with hiding pool equipment in our backyard! We've got ideas on how to hide pool equipment in a variety of ways, plus how we attempted hiding our pool equipment with plants before working with, not against, our wall!

I understand why people on the internet think I must be a cleaning maniac when they look at photos of our house. It doesn't look cluttered or dirty. It looks simple and tidy! A lot of things are white or light-colored. So it must be clean, aye? Here I would like to produce my best Villainous Mastermind Laugh slash Just-a-Giggle-Plain-and-Simple because if you have ever really been inside my home and you look closely you…
I had started to describe more about the natural cleaning products featured in our final laundry room post, but that was making it waaaaaaay too long so I needed to start a new little post about this. I did NOT think I would be talking about our move to more natural cleaning on our blog, but it just happened naturally. (No pun intended. Really. Matt is the king of puns, not me.) So here we…

We're sharing the Top 3 things we'll miss most when we move, PLUS the many surprising functions our best hot water dispenser ever provides for us! 😄 "What will we miss?" is the question Matt and I have asked ourselves approximately one hundred billion times. (Well, I can't technically say Matt has asked himself that question—I'd have to ask him first—but his wife has certainly brought this question up in conversations.) Why? This is part…
After knocking our elbows into the walls of our too-small shower one too many times, we decided a change needed to be made. We came up with a plan to flip around our bathroom layout so that we could create a huge new double shower floor plan (including a seat and double shower heads)! Once we figured out how that was possible (our available space to expand the bathroom was nil), we were able to…
