the toews household!

doug, elissa, caleb and emerson toews are the cutest family ever. not only do they exude adorableness, but their homestead does too. when they purchased their house a few years ago the walls were painted in some of the most heinous interior hues i've ever seen. they quickly rectified the color situation and then went on to add charming mouldings and decor. today we're zoning in on their boudoir before + afters.

first up, mama elissa and papa doug's room. with walls in benjamin moore's horizon and a homemade headboard constructed for $104.50 it's amazingly tranquil!

next, caleb's big boy room. eloquently described by his mama as vintage modern with canadian rustic elements and french canvas walls.

finally, baby girl emerson's room. wainscoting and benjamin moore's woodlawn blue marry to create the cutest walls ever, while punches of pink add that girly touch.

i would especially like to thank elissa toews for granting me the permission to borrow photos from her blog, our house. next up from the toews, their living space transformations!

santa monica showcase!

jenn feldman’s last ‘raenovation’ was a pinterest sensation! the painted kitchen cabinets she specified were pinned almost as often as the miniature pig in a teacup that always pops up on my homepage. i have a sneaking suspicion that her latest santa monica job will be just as popular. the ordinary interior was crying for the feldman treatment (guaranteed pops of pattern and color). in the living room, jenn wallpapered and made the fireplace and window-seat the room’s showpieces, while they had previously blended right in. she did the same in baby girl’s room, adding a floral wall covering, flor carpeting and a custom paint job on the doors. you know what to do, get pinny with it!

thanks again to jenn feldman of jenn feldman designs for submitting photos of her LA redesigns. for more inspiration check out jenn’s website and twitter feed.

chicago craftsman!

londen of sixty-fifth avenue and her family purchased their suburban chicago home with plans of renovating up a storm, inside and out. and renovate they did; their exterior ideas have finally come to fruition!
with brand new cement board siding in benjamin moore’s crownsville gray and loads of craftsman details, the new and improved exterior is almost unrecognizable. working closely with a builder, londen and her husband specified details like adding the entry portico, extending the soffit, and installing the double trellised window. they also removed the storm door entirely, landscaped and added the hanging moravian light; giving the sixty-fifth avenue home an incredible amount of curb appeal.

i would especially like to thank londen for granting me the permission to borrow photos from her blog, sixty-fifth avenue.
