Vintage Modern Living Room Reveal
Did you know it’s easy to mix new & vintage to get the look you want? In this post I’ll show you how we mixed vintage with new pieces to get the look we wanted. I will also share how having help with your design process can save you time, which saves you money.

Fixer Upper Kitchen Reveal
Living Clutter Free
As our summer travels are winding down, and we continue to work on our Mid Century Fixer Upper, a common theme keeps popping up, how can I make our new home functional for us at this stage in our lives? I started realizing that my ideal living situation would be for everything to have a designated place and to live clutter free.
