The Spaces We Tackled in 2021!

Dax's Room Before and After:

In January, I worked with Ace Hardware to renovate Dax's room. It was a super fun and quick renovation and we were so happy with how it turned out.

Dining Room Before/December 2019:

In March, Joe and I added trim to the dining room. I never thought we'd be able to do this ourselves and am so proud of it! The dining room itself has evolved quite a bit, hasn't it?



Dining Room Before/February 2020:


I love that this refresh showed how you can work with what you have to refresh a space. This new look was so much better and all I purchased was a tablecloth and mirror! You can read about it here.

Dining Room After/March 2021:

The Loft Before and After

In June, I was a featured designer for the One Room Challenge! I documented an 8 week room transformation for the loft. It included the biggest DIY Joe and I have ever tackled, a new paint color, and all new furnishings.

Primary Bedroom Before and After:

In August, our bedroom got a little glow up with a new bed, and then in November, we added a new rug. This room is coming together beautifully but just like most spaces in my home, it's been a slow evolution. You know what? I'm ok with it.

Pantry Before and After:

In September we tackled a few smaller projects (although TBH, the pantry didn't feel small). The pantry is possibly my favorite project from 2021 because it is so dang useful and makes me smile literally every time I open it. But wait, the gallery wall is my favorite too. You know what? Never mind- I can't choose.

Gallery Wall Before and After:

While the gallery wall wasn't a huge renovation, it was a project I'd been wanting to tackle for at least a year, maybe more. I'm so happy with how it turned out if you can't tell.

And the Living Room deserves to be mentioned- much like our bedroom, it's evolved over time. The living room has a challenging layout to say the least- it's a small room, open concept, has no full walls, and a corner fireplace. It's been my nemesis and after lots of trial and error, this is what it looks like now. There may be more iterations but it's finally coming together!

The Guest Bath Refresh

The guest bath was another non-renovation that made a world of difference. It went from being quite neglected and embarrassing to being warm and welcoming. I love that it didn't involve power tools (other than a drill) and was budget-friendly.

Why yes, I could've cleaned it first.

I'm the type that focuses more on what I haven't done or need to do so it was rewarding to look back on how far we've come! Highly recommend the exercise! What improvements did you make to your home in 2021?

Stay tuned for our list of which spaces we'll tackle in 2022!
