Exterior

Exterior

Gather inspiration from the exterior renovation of our 1980s New England Colonial and see how we transformed a builder basic home to reflect our love of old-world character.


The first thing we were drawn to when we first drove up to our 1980s colonial was the curb appeal. However, we saw that it had a ton of potential for even more! I knew it just needed a farmer’s porch. My dreams waited a few years (and we had a few misadventures along the way trying to fix the peeling exterior paint) but in 2019 we embarked on a full outdoor remodel. We hired out the project and that proved to be a brilliant decision.

I’m sharing a little personal update in stories. I’m sharing a little personal update in stories. It was hard to organize my thoughts, so it’s a bit choppy in places, but I relieved to have finally shared in hopes of helping someone else! 💜

Also, here’s a burst of color for the grid for spring! Flowers in a sink... wildly impractical, but endlessly appealing for some reason. 💐 I think I enjoy freezing the moment before they're made into something else. We can probably read into that. 🙃

Here’s a round up of some Before and Afters from Here’s a round up of some Before and Afters from our recent bathroom remodel! 👉🏻 

My goal was to reconfigure the bathroom without having to majorly move plumbing. We decided to eliminate the water closet with a giant window (that room was so cold anyway 🥶) and create a nook for the toilet instead with a round window to complement the exterior of our coastal home. This opened up square footage for an expanded shower — no more tiny shower capsule! We replaced the giant non-working tub and surround with a freestanding bathtub. The bathtub is my favorite part of the room! 🧖‍♀️🛁

Taking the time to think about how you’ll use a room and how it will serve you and your family best always pays off in design! ✍️ Tap the ❤️ if you’re planning a bath remodel, dreaming of one, or found this post useful!
