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. :)

It’s done! 🤩 My new fitness studio is open for business (for one). 😂 Turned this unused room into an area I’ll actually spend time in. As an added bonus, having a project helped me pass a whole weekend having to stay home. #enneagram7 #stayhome #homeprojects #fitnessstudio #customstorage #DIY #letsmove

If you speak enneagram, I’m a 7. Being asked to stay home is one of my least favorite things in the world. I need people like I need air and I’m always hopping from one thing to the next. 🎉 So naturally, I came up with a project to keep me occupied while I’m spending some extra time at home. I’m turning one of our spare rooms into a workout space! 💦 I miss my gym and I’m not too fond of carrying all my workout stuff into the dining room every night so I’m giving it a permanent home. Super excited for it all to come together! #homegym #enneagram7 #diyprojects

This view. No filter. Seriously. 🤍🤍🤍 Today is our first day back from #vacation and usually I’m okay with coming back but this time, I just don’t know. I think Arizona kept a little piece of me. It’s vastness, the perfect sunshine, the mountains, even the cacti, I miss it all. #takemeback #vacationspot #visitarizona #marriottbonvoy #travelgram #phoenixarizona @visit_arizona @residenceinn @marriottbonvoy #mountainviews

✨This #beforeandafter will never get old! ✨Would you believe me if I told you the difference between these photos is one weekend and $54?? It’s true! Well, that and some sweat 💦 and a little bit of math 📝. New post is up detailing just how I transformed the whole look of our bedroom over the weekend and on a budget! 🏡 💪🏻#linkinbio #showemyourstyled #doityoloself #currenthomeview #bedroomstyle #weekendproject #angelarosehome #weekendDIY

Weekends are for projects! 🔨 Putting the finishing touches on this accent wall in our bedroom today. 🏡 Turned out super quick and inexpensive! A welcome change from working on our bathroom which is the exact opposite. 😂 What are you working on today? #weekendprojects #doityoloself #diy #picturemoulding #inspiredhome #moderntraditional #bedroomstyle #painting #cljtransformations #sunderlandhouse

When I got to college, we all had to take the Clifton #StrengthsFinder test. If you don’t know what it is, it basically measures you against 36 themes and tells you which out of the 36 are your top five traits or #strengths. One of my top is ideation which means I’m always coming up with new ideas. 💡 And being that I love to renovate, most of these ideas end up centering around different spaces in our house. 🏠 Now that our main bath is almost done (tying up loose ends while I wait for the electricians schedule to open up), I’m coming up with all sorts of ideas for my next project. I haven’t pulled the trigger on one yet, but I have a couple top contenders. 😉 Maybe I should take it to a vote? Have you ever taken the Strengthsfinder? If you have, tell me your top five? 🖐🏻 P.s. My other 4 are Includer, Maximizer, Communication & Strategic. 💪🏻😊 #dailydecordose #interiordesignideas #bathroomdesign #makehomeyours #houseandhome #hhstyle #flatlays #deltatrinsic #deltafaucet #showEmyourstyled #ideasinaction #moodboard

✨Fresh new vanity hardware! ✨ This one went in stages (swipe for visual aids). The original #hardware that came with the #vanity was not my style at all and it didn’t do much for the vanity either. I knew this vanity could be great surrounded by some beautiful, more modern pals, but this hardware wasn’t it. 👋🏻 So I changed it out. (It’s one of the best things you can do for a store bought vanity to make it look more custom by the way.) I bought some nice, modern, matte black hardware and I thought that was that. After our beautiful stone was installed and all the finishes started coming together, it felt like something was missing. 😔 I could have let it go and let the bathroom be a little black and white, but if you know me, you know that’s not happening. SO...say hello to my little gold friends. ✨ More to come too. 😉 #dailydecordose #interiordesignideas #bathroomdesign #makehomeyours #houseandhome #hhstyle #libertyhardware #champagnebronze

🌟 Pro tip: whenever I have an idea for our house, I type it in to my Pinterest search bar. Chances are I'm not the first person to think of it and it helps me to visualize if I can see my idea in real life. 📌 Shortly after we signed purchase agreements on our house in early 2016, that's exactly what I was doing - spending hours on Pinterest. I was toying with the idea of adding floating shelves somewhere in our new house when I came across this image by @amberinteriors (the peninsula reminded me of ours). It was one of the very first images I pinned as inspiration for our new home and a big part of the reason my first demo project was taking down the kitchen cabinet over the peninsula the day after we had closed. 🔨 The result was immediate - a brighter more open kitchen and a perfect space for shelves. ☀️ Design inspires design. #designinspo #kitchendesign #floatingshelves #pinterest #styledshelves #kitchensofinstagram #sunderlandhouse #amberinteriors #interiordesigner #homework
