You probably were expecting photos of our trim being painted, but here are some of time at the @bloedel_conservatory 💕 🌱 🐦 .  And then also a good smoothie from @honolulucoffeeyvr which was delicious. I have many more to share but here is a little photo dump for now 📷
I remember wanting to paint my bedroom green, and compromising with my mom to do the walls white and trim green. Now that I get to make all the messes I want, I’m doing the walls green now too 😉 
If you followed along in stories, you know they the combination of dropping nicotine from the ceiling ( 🤢) and patched walls weren’t sitting with me anymore. So here is my 72 hour bathroom refresh. Primed and painted the ceiling, repainted the walls, replaced baseboards, and a couple of quick spray painted items and we have a new room!
“Torn paper” look is inspired heavily by Liz’s guest room at @withinthegrove 😍
A casual Friday post of us living around the constant renovation 😅 after trying our another 8 (!) combinations of stain today…. I think we’re going back to one of the first ones we tried. Maybe this is the weekend we get the shelves installed 🤞🏻 is Friday night = pizza night at your place too? 🍕
A little weekend progress shot with real life living. Primed the hood vent, and did first coat of paint. Landed on “granite dust” by @behrpaint . Placed the shelves on where they will eventually live so that I can use the dining table for the first time in what feels like a month 😅. Tested out more stains. Spoiler alert: still not content. We’ll get there - even if it takes another few tries 😵‍💫 
Also I finished Inventing Anna, then when trying to pay at the movies my card didn’t work for tap. First thought was “run it again!” 😂. Have you binged that one yet??
Possibly my favourite progress shot to date. I feel like so much of the kitchen transformation has been waiting for this moment. Between this and the hutch, I don’t know which wins my heart for first place. I just want to stare at it all day 😍
The before and *almost* after I’ve been dreaming of. Literally zero regrets about hiring this out given the amount of precise cuts that we’re needed. Swipe to see how it started 😱

About Me!

Hi! I'm Alyssa and I love to DIY, decorate, and work on building a holistically beautiful and functional home. After living tiny for 3 years in a 400 sq foot apartment, we purchased a 1960's fixer-upper and love making it our own on a budget. I can't wait to continue on this journey with you!
