  • Beautiful ways to include brick into your design

    When you first purchase a home it’s often that the first thing that comes to mind is that you can’t wait to put a touch of you into the home. Everyone seems to agree that changing just a few things makes it feel like their home.

    What if that one touch of character you wanted was brick, but there is no brick in sight? There are ways to add a touch of brick yourself. You can wrap a walk through with brick.

    You can add brick as a back splash.
    Maybe you stick to the traditional and brick a fireplace that catches the eye!
    Or you can make an outdoor brick getaway. Just because you walk into a home and you don’t see a certain thing that you are looking for, doesn’t mean it can’t be something you add!
  • A Newly Renovated Farmhouse, Lidham Hill Farm

    There’s something about renovating older homes that I adore. This little farm was newly renovated and proved to be a beautiful transition keeping some of the old and incorporating some of the new. 

    Would you love to live on an old farm?
    Pictures provided by deVOL. deVOL Kitchen’s were used in this stunning renovation!

    Freshen up Outside

    We’ve gotten a taste of some spring like weather here and it’s gotten me excited to get our porch ready for some fun!
    With a wonderful warm weekend and a few rainy days, it’s got the spring cleaning and refreshing bug in me moving!
    I’m ready to sit on the porch and watch the world go by and soak up a nice cool breeze and a warm day.

  • Barn inspired homes.

    Barn inspired homes.

    Living in a barn might not sound all that appealing, but these spaces below may just change your mind!
    This barn looks modern and rustic! It’s simply gorgeous.
    With large windows, tall ceilings, and a touch of the barn indoors, this space takes living in a barn to a whole new level!
    Not interested in it looking so much like a barn inside? This upgrade could do it! I like how they are using the beams to define the barn like living, but still keep it updated everywhere else.
    Would you live in a renovated barn?
    Perfect!!! Woodshop downstairs, live upstairs, couldn't be better. Gotta get building.:
    I would!!
  • Bathroom’s with a fun twist.

    Bathroom’s with a fun twist.

    Most bathrooms in a home are just your average bathroom with a touch of paint or wallpaper and maybe an updated mirror. Here are a few that are anything but traditional!
    To me this says, masculine doesn’t have to be boring!
    Do: Spread the light around. Have several different lighting sources. Put them high, low and in-between.
