It seems only fitting that a kitchen with blue cabinets and a view of Puget Sound should be called “peaceful.” A rich wood vaulted ceiling, a black slate floor, and a wall of windows provide the frame for this peaceful blue kitchen. Stepping into this space is sure to immediately relax your nerves as you…
Get ready to snuggle up when you tour this charming country estate by Great Rooms Building Group. Although the home is expansive, it feels warm and cozy inside due to the use of wood and stone finishes. Much to my surprise, I found out this picturesque retreat is located not too far from where I…

Happy Friday the 13th! Got anything spooky going on this weekend? I’ll likely be painting at some point. We have a lot to do in the house before the big holidays arrive. It’s hard to believe October is halfway over. Once Christmas is over, time will slow down and winter will feel like forever. LOL….
I have a fun blog post for you today! Get ready to enjoy exploring six amazing tiny houses where you can see both the outside and inside of each home. Much to my delight, I found several more of these smaller homes that I’ll share in the future. Take a look and in the comments,…
The fall and winter seasons are typically associated with plaid, perhaps due to the popularity of plaid flannel shirts worn this time of year.

Let’s take a walk into the woods to discover a cozy a-frame cabin that has all the charm and convenience you’d need for a hygge-style getaway. I’d love to find a spot like this nearby where hubby and I could spend a weekend away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life (photos courtesy of…

On this first full weekend of October I have the ultimate transitional kitchen by Ariel Bleich Design for you to see. Of course, the SMEG refrigerator had me at hello beyond the open door. This little space is an entryway into the main kitchen but offers additional cabinetry and a second, smaller refrigerator. Transitional style…
Are you loving this month so far? The leaves here are just starting to turn color so I’m guessing they’ll peak around the third weekend in October. Which reminds me, I need to get netting for my pond before the leaves drop. Not only that, but it’s time to clean up the veggie garden. Looks…

It’s been awhile since I’ve featured a bathroom on the blog. I guess they just don’t excite me as much as other rooms in the house, unless it’s a special modern farmhouse bathroom like this one by Jkath Design-Build+Reinvent. What I love about this space is that it feels spa-like while retaining a certain level…
