7 Minutes…7 Pins: Spring Things That Caught My Eye

How to Prepare Your Home for Holiday Hosting

The holidays are finally here! Is your home ready to play host for your friends and family? The joy of the holidays is having friends and family pop over for a visit or even stay for a few days.

7 Minutes…7 Pins

Hi-I'm Ashlie, Amanda's older sister and I am back for another edition of 7 minutes...7 pins.  I invite you to sit down and grab a cup of coffee or ice tea and follow my clicks as I share what caught my eye on Pinterest. We've had a major heatwave in Michigan over the last couple of weeks.  I am all about grilling out and keeping my kitchen cool.  This grilled chicken marinade was a hit.  Grill up some extra to add to salads ...

Our Home: Master Closet

Hello friends! My apologies for the delay in sharing the latest blog post from our Los Altos home remodel with you! I've been too busy organizing client closets to find time write about my own!

Our Home: Master Bedroom

Next up on our home tour is our master bedroom. It's just off the bathroom (well, everything is just off the bathroom when you live in 900 square feet) and with the changes we made during the remodel it feels like a retreat.  Originally this space was two separate bedrooms but we opted to remove a wall to create a livable room and carve out space for a walk-in closet. In many parts of the country it would be silly to remove a ... Keep Reading >>

Our Home: Bathroom Transformation

Next up on our home tour is our bathroom which is tiny so it will be a quick tour! We have a single bathroom and while it was an adjustment from our three bathroom rental, we have survived. We weighed the options of adding on a second bathroom but it wasn't worth it with our timeline and budget.  After all of the numbers weighed in (carrying costs, additional rental costs, and construction costs) it would've only made sense to ...

Today's blog post features the changes we made to our living room, which is now open to the kitchen with the previous kitchen walls removed. Just to give you a frame of reference, here is the architectural plan we submitted for ... Keep Reading >>
