Hi!

I’m Holly! I love a good project, whether that be a small DIY or a large renovation. I created this blog to chronicle my home and that many projects we’ve undertaken to update it into this decade. I hope you find something here that inspires you to create in your own home. :)

Recently

Our dining room was thrown together on Christmas Eve with whatever I could find laying around the house. 😂 We hosted my family for dinner so I wanted it to feel a little homey but didn’t have much time to get it there. Now I’m in planning mode for what to do long term in this space. Number one thing on the list is painting over this weird 90’s sponge paint that lives in here currently. Now taking color suggestions! 👇🏻 Swipe for one option and a close up of the weird paint job. 😂 #atleastitsnotwallpaper #evergreenfogsweepstakes #diningroomdesign #styled

☀️ Yesterday we came home from sunny gorgeous 85 degree Florida weather to a 36 degree house! 😭 All we can figure is somehow our thermostat malfunctioned and tried to restart itself but got stuck on the start up screen. I reset it, and everything immediately came back online so we’re just monitoring it for now. So lucky that we got home when we did because our poor cats were freezing and if we had been delayed who knows what might have happened to them. 🐈 We immediately turned the furnace up, started space heaters, turned the ovens on and opened the doors to thaw the house and the cats out! 🔥 After a few hours the temp was back up and thennnn we noticed the water coming through the ceiling. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ Still don’t really know the whole of what is going on but we traced it to the kitchen and our upstairs bath so for now those water lines are capped until Zac can replace the supply lines. 🛁 My new kitchen faucet had icicles coming out of it and is potentially broken as well. That’s all the damage we know of for now. Counting our blessings because it could have been so much worse! Somebody give me some good news because I could really use some right about now. #waterdamage #coldhouse #homerepairs #homeownership #vacationstories #catsofinstagram #frozenpipes #mnwinter #deepfreeze

✨ Tiniest sneak peek of our hardwoods that I painted black and white harlequin over the orange oak underneath. With a decorative border because why not? What do we think?? Also got these inexpensive black register covers to replace the wood ones. Off to clean and finally wrap all the Christmas presents hanging out in a pile on the living room floor. Happy Sunday! #paintedfloors #cljsquad #dreamitdoit #currenthomeview #blackandwhitehome

✨ ONE YEAR AGO ✨ Right before Thanksgiving last year I tore up our kitchen to replace the backsplash and recoat our epoxy counters. This year our new kitchen is also tore up as I work on giving it a facelift but instead of Thanksgiving, my deadline this year is Christmas. We’re definitely not ready for action yet. 🙈 (Swipe for our current kitchen view.) Cabinets are close to done being painted but there’s still SO much to get done before we host Christmas here. #kitchenprogress #projectlife #kitchenremodel #havenshere #subwaytilebacksplash #archwindow #epoxycountertops #honedepoxy

🔧 Progress Pic! 😂 This probably isn’t instafeed worthy but this is real life where I’m at with phase 1 of our kitchen refresh. So far I’ve removed all the doors and drawers. You know, in between work, teaching my group ex class, sleeping and watching the @bucks. #priorities My weekend goal is to get everything primed but there’s so much more prep to do before I can even get there! 🥵Also probably have a couple more trips to @sherwinwilliams in my future to see if my paint base is back in stock yet. 🤦🏼‍♀️ #supplychainprobs

✨ OUR BATHROOM IS DONE! ✨ I mean, as long as you don’t look too closely - still gotta touch up paint some trim and clean up the project tornado living in our bedroom right outside the door (there’s a reason it’s closed 😉).

✨ Lived the last few months in a project-less existence because our house was done and ready to hit the market! Glad to be back at it at our new home. Tap the link in bio if you wanna peep our listing photos and every single “after” transformation from our 90’s honey oak paradise. 😂 🏠 And find me in stories if you want to see how my current project is coming along. 👌🏻 #renovation #remodeledhome #sunderlandhouse #whiteoakfloors #welcomehome #homedecor

🎉 After a year of house hunting, multiple rejected offers, the 90 longest days of our lives and the past two weeks of pure chaos, we are finally home! 🏡 #sunderlandhouse2.0
