From May 15-June 16 we undertook some major renovations/refreshes in our house. It was a crazy 5 weeks of living in a construction zone, eating lots of fast food, having a stove and fridge in the hallway, moving furniture, losing access to our sink, washer and dryer, etc. But overall we survived and our house is beautiful! Truly the style came together just as I had imagined it and we feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to make all of these changes and make our house more into the home we want it to be.
My theme was beachy so we went with a lot of white and teal colors to brighten everything up. Matt was skeptical along the way and thought it would look cold, stark and sterile but he trusted me and it turned out amazing. He loves it too! :)
We are unfortunately having some chipping issues with our paint and will most likely have a long battle ahead with that, but I'm trying very hard not to focus on the negative and look at the big picture and how wonderful everything looks!

| Changing the exterior color from tan to blue was one of the best things that we did. Everyone thought we were crazy for paining our siding (and who knows, maybe we are!) but it looks amazing. We tried out like 10 blues though before we picked this one. Also, we had a disagreement with our painter on the soffits. Overall though, it looks great and we are super happy with how it turned out! |
 |
| Master bath is another favorite area, in addition to painting all of the trim and woodwork white, we changed the wall color to a soft teal and then put in a new tile floor. It looks so much nicer! |
 |
| The living room is also so much lighter and brighter. New overall wall color and accent wall color, white trim and woodwork, removed the old blinds and added white curtains. It all turned out really great! |
 |
| We removed the decals and changed the wall color in the playroom as well as got new carpet (and got rid of the huge couch!) |
 |
| The kitchen is probably the biggest change. New quartz counter tops, gorgeous new glass tile backsplash and painted cabinets. So much brighter and more modern! |

| My new favorite room in the house. I LOVE my new mudroom with all of the awesome storage, brand new HUGE washer and dryer and slick new floor. I told Matt when we moved into the house that I wanted my dream mudroom and I got it. LOVE LOVE LOVE! (It's the little things ;)) |

| Doesn't this just make you happy? Look at all that storage?! |
