Our Kitchen: The Reveal

Apr 24, 2017 | By New Darlings

We are so happy to be sharing our kitchen makeover with you guys today! We made some small changes that we feel like created a big impact and feels a lot more like us. When we originally toured this house with our real estate agent back in October, we fell in love with the space. It was charming and we immediately envisioned ourselves cooking and entertaining friends in this kitchen that has separate entries to the dining room and living room.

I feel like smaller kitchens get a bad wrap and my former “open concept” loving self, would probably be on my soap box cursing kitchens that are closed off to the dining room, but once we walked in, there was a warmth and sense of family that consumed this place. The house felt like a home and one where we could make many memories together…and of course that begins over a good meal. 😉Read More

Hope everyone had a great week! We are finally getting back into a routine over here after lots of travel and home renovations. It sounds funny, but just sitting at a desk (instead of our dining table) to hammer out some emails felt so good. We still have some work going on over here, but luckily it’s all outside now. We had the tiles removed in a few spots around the house and are having pavers laid instead. We think it will be a better look for the white exterior paint we went with. We’re excited to watch it all come together and finally get a chance to unbox some of our patio furniture. We’re almost there! Check out a Q&A we did with Schoolhouse about our home over here. This weekend we will be heading back to pilates, hoping to catch a movie, and just continue this little routine we got going on. Hope everyone has a Happy Earth Day!

Our Master Bathroom: Before + Progress

Apr 20, 2017 | By New Darlings

We are getting ready to wrap things up on the master bathroom remodel over here and can’t wait to put the finishing touches on everything. We realized we haven’t shared any of the progress photos we’ve been snapping, and the choices we have made thus far, so why not?! Throughout this whole remodel I thought the changes we were making weren’t that different, but going back through these before photos and seeing the place transform has been really exciting and rewarding.

Brands We Love: Schoolhouse Electric

Apr 19, 2017 | By New Darlings

90% of the time when we have free time, we’re looking at interiors. We absolutely love the design aspect and incorporating new and fun pieces into a home. We’d be lying if we said we weren’t tempted to pop in and see what people have done with a place when spotting an “Open House” sign, while driving around on the weekends. We haven’t done it since moving, but we get a good laugh out of the idea of it. 😉Read More

Happy Friday! We had a busy week getting things back together around the house and hosting our dear friends Joe and Tessa, while they were in town. It felt good to unplug a bit and show them around Phoenix, chat till the late hours of the night, and indulge in all of the city’s good food and sweet treats. They are two amazing souls and we are so grateful to have met them two years ago on our road trip. Seriously cannot believe that was two years ago already. Where is the time going?! Anyone have any fun weekend plans? We will be heading to a pot luck tonight with some friends and then hopefully going to pilates at some point. We justtt started reformer pilates, and boy oh boy are our muscles sore. We had no idea just how out of shape we were. Hah!

Hope everyone has an amazing weekend. Here are a few links from around the web we’ve been loving…Read More
