Today marks the 5 months anniversary of moving to our new downsized home. I am often asked if I miss our old kitchen. Sure, there’s a few things I miss. The expansiveness of the room, the beverage bar we created and most definitely the live edge shelves I loved to redecorate seasonly. Even in this smaller footprint of a kitchen, I ended up with almost as much cabinetry and clearly I didn’t have to compromise on the size of the island! Honestly, giving up the eat-in kitchen area has been much easier than I thought. I use the barstools at this island much more and our dining table is just steps away. I also shouldn’t forget that the here pantry is pretty sweet after we jazzed it up a little. ⠀
⠀
Not going to lie, the process of downsizing was painful in other ways, but I am so very thankful that this kitchen is still easy to feel like the hub of the home, welcoming and plenty of room for cooking meals we enjoy as a family.⠀
⠀
Hope you have a beautiful Sunday! If you want to see what our new kitchen looked like when we first moved in, before giving it a complete makeover during the #oneroomchallenge last fall, check out the link in the bio. You can also see that pantry I mentioned. ⠀

Never underestimate the power of paint and some good old fashion elbow grease to make a room swoon-worthy in your home. The cabinets received my favorite teal paint, the faucet was replaced, the tiles were steam cleaned and grout refreshed. We swapped out the light fixtures, knobs and added a beautiful shower curtain. Oh, and obviously there was wallpaper. 😩 (Which was time consuming to remove, but It’s not as hard as I you might think, especially when you have the right tools.)⠀

I think we can all agree at this point, we are READY for spring!!! I talked all about upcoming spring projects on my Stories today to help ease the pain of this dreary, wet season. To hold you over until then I wanted to share one of my absolute favorite spring mantles. Actually, I kept it up all summer too. I loved it that much. The DIY terrariums were super easy to make with simple supplies. I walk you through the entire process on the blog. ⠀

⠀
Oh, and did you spy an itty bitty @readyfreddiedoodle ?? So stinking cute, right? Of course that was before he became a furry dude with an attitude.⠀

Are you bold with design choices in your home or do you just like to admire daring design from afar? Last year I stepped into the very bold, dark side for the Alabama Symphony Showhouse and I had absolutely no regrets. In what turned out to be nearly an entire house designed in neutrals, this little jewel of a powder room was the talk of the show. ⠀
⠀
When I volunteered as a room attendant at the show, I wouldn’t tell people I designed the room until after I witnessed their reactions. And oh boy, were there reactions! One very distinguished woman walked the entire show, came back to the bathroom and said in a rather smug tone, “This, this is the best room here.” She had no idea I was the designer. ⠀
⠀
On another occasion an older gentleman stepped inside, turned around and rather thoughtfully and said the room reminded him of an elegant train car. Of course, there were a few attendees that said the room was not for them. And that was okay too. ⠀
⠀
Finding a way to create a dramatic design on a budget that did not include replacing the black marble sink or the black toilet, made going high gloss black an easy decision for me. Want to learn more about the room? Check out the link in the bio. This room was previously sponsored by @officialMetrie.⠀

Make it a good day my friends! I hope you had an excellent weekend. Ours was busier than usual with the preparations for my presentation on Saturday at the Birmingham Home Show. What a good time it was sharing about one of my favorite home improvements, adding moulding to your home. Turns out if I’m passionate about a topic, public speaking is perfectly fine, fun even.⠀
⠀
I was so fired up afterwards, I finally tackled that mess in my studio space! Go check my Stories if you’ve been following along. Major progress!⠀
⠀
You can see a detailed tour of our “Opulent Master Bathroom” on the blog. Link in the bio. (previously gifted in this room: moulding from @Metrie, tile from @southcypress⠀

Happy Valentine's Day! Hope your day is sweet and full of love. I'm still crushing over this view in my Lady's Lounge. I hope to wrap up the other projects in this room next week. ⁠⠀

Who is ready for spring and porch sittin’ weather? While it has not been terribly cold here in Alabama, it has been gray and rainy for longer than I can remember. I can’t wait to pull out the plants and put the finishing touches on our new patio. (While it is not as charming as our porch at #thetralhousereno, in this photo, it does have a beautiful view.) ⠀🌅
⠀
And can we just talk about cute little @readyfreddiedoodle is here? Now, he’s a furry, fluffy man with a big beard!⠀
⠀
Want to see more of this renovated porch? It is a long and narrow space so planning the furniture arrangement was a challenge. Check the link in the bio for the blog post where I share 9 essentials for a cozy screened porch. It is one of my favorite posts!⠀
