Happy Wednesday everyone, and happy house listing day to me! We officially listed our house for sale today after a whirlwind of a few months. It's crazy to think back to this time last year and having no plans of moving, and now our house is on the market.  I wanted to share some before and after pictures of all of the work we did (or, for the order I'm sharing pictures, After and Before)- nothing too crazy in terms of construction, but lots of cosmetic changes and improvements. The best part to me is that besides the exterior paint and windows, we did every single change ourselves. Let's get to the changes, room by room (btw- interior pictures taken by the amazing photographer that our agent works with..she did SUCH a great job). Exterior Repainted exterior (Sherwin Williams Snowbound on brick, Georgian Bay on accents) Removed bushes and added flowering bushes (azalea) and hanging basket (pothos) Replaced porch light Powerwashed sidewalk and chimney Replaced deck and stai...

Happy Friday everyone! I'm back today to share my kitchen update, which was a fun and exciting project for me to work on. To be honest, the kitchen was one of my favorite rooms in the house when we first looked. Sure, it's not huge, but the white cabinets, dark gray countertops, and blue walls were all right in my style! I didn't need to make any huge changes to this room, but did a few things to update it and make it look nicer without having to make any big purchases. Here's a look at the before, when we first looked at the house...you can even see the flyers on the counter. My first step was one that I made right away and made a huge impact immediately - switching the cabinet knobs. This was really simple, and I loved how the basic black knobs made everything look more modern and sleek. I repainted all of the walls the same color as the bathroom (Sherwin Williams Gibraltar) since I still had plenty left over. I also decided to paint an accent wall in our "dinin...

Hi everyone! Today I'm SO excited to share my finished bathroom! This is one of those projects that I wanted to do since we moved in- I never liked how our bathroom looked, but it always got pushed aside. I figured that since I'm always home now it would be the perfect time to finally tackle this room, and I'm so glad that I did- this quickly went from my least favorite room in the house to one of my favorites! Plus- I was able to do everything for under $200.  Let's see what I did! (ps- if you want to see the other projects I've done in quarantine check out this post!) First I want to share some of my inspiration pics- I used these to imagine what I wanted and what might not look good in a small space. While I didn't copy these exactly, I used bits and pieces from each to inspire my vision!  Here are the images that I took inspiration from- To start out, let me share the "before". This is after I did a few minor decorations and we also removed the ori...
