In most cases, I don’t like buying new gadgets because it’s just a matter of time before something better comes out. I also *try* to avoid buying ‘just in case’ things because turns out, I’m usually too lazy to use an item that I don’t use on a regular basis! However, here are five products…

Today I watched another home design reveal done by THELIFESTYLEDCO! I will let you watch their video and read their blog post to hear more about the renovation that was done and style they were aiming for. Really, I’m just hear to go over the pictures from their project! This design has all the good…

You know what is more stressful than being 2.5 months away from our wedding? Trying to find house exterior ideas that we not only like, but can afford! The builder still has not reached out (which is totally fine), but when we consider that we want to be building next spring… the window to plan…

Today I’m talking about a semi-controversial topic, money! I am no financial expert and have no experience but my own (and Brandon’s!), but I thought I’d share some tips that have really been helping us reach our goals faster, stay financially motivated, and avoid stressing or arguing about money! Our biggest influences have been Dave…

Yesterday I finally finished re-rendering our primary bathroom in Sketchup! Most of it was redoing what I’d previously done before I lost my progress, but I did have some new changes. This render unfortunately won’t be as high quality as my Dream Laundry Room Render because I needed to turn off shadowing to address a…

Today I will be doing my first post showcasing my renders in SketchUp! Last year I was putting a lot of work into the 3D render of our dream house until I decided I needed to focus on our wedding planning for a bit. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that my saves were going to a…

Part two of this designer spotlight will be all about the various projects done by THELIFESTYLEDCO. While I love watching their house walkthroughs on Youtube, I don’t find inspiration with every aspect of their designs. Because their clients are usually higher end, I feel like they can get away with more impractical features than the…

THELIFESTYLEDCO is an interior design company that has grown from one designer, Kristin Forgione, to a high end interior design company with a handful of different designers. The company also has an interior design/fashion shop. I’ve never purchased anything, but maybe someday! Part one of our design spotlight is centered all around the founder Kristin…

When I tell you that tile from last week blew my mind, I’m not kidding! I’ve also been loving some wood paneling, despite the irony of me painting every inch of wood paneling in our current house. (But I think that’s different because the tone and quality of our paneling left much to be desired.)…

I recently posted about dream house details we’re willing to wait for. I thought it’d be fitting to also say what we’re wanting to prioritize at build time! I know I’ve posted a lot about our future home and what we want it to be, but things are constantly evolving in this dreaming/planning stage. the…
