Kitchen Design: Range Hoods

Kitchen design tip: achieve a more custom, higher end look by removing the microwave from above the stove/cooktop and replacing it with a vent hood. While mine is custom made, you don’t have to spend a lot or be a great DIYer to get the look. I’ve linked a variety of great options below if …

Before my big Christmas Home Tour goes live on HomeBunch.com, I wanted to share what my front porch looks like right now! I’m slowly buying up planters, urns, and plants to provide a little interest to the porch. But it’s proving harder than I expected! The porch is HUGE and everything I buy for it …

My husband and I have known for years that when we built our home, we would go with concrete floors. It’s a look we’ve loved for years. Sure, a few years ago we liked the stained and cross cut concrete floors, but regardless, they were concrete and we loved the practicality of them.  Choosing to …

We are in the final stretch! The painters should be at the house getting everything painted and stained this week. Then we can get the marble installed, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, a garage door, appliances installed, fireplace stone and tile installed, and a driveway poured. Whew!

We went from dirt to this: Then one morning, starting at 4 a.m., the trucks showed up: And they brought concrete with them! And we had a FOUNDATION! Nine days later, the house looked like this: And all of this in a matter of three weeks or so! I’ll get an updated photo posted soon, …
