Our Favorite Renovations From 2018

It’s almost the new year! We are looking back at some of our biggest before and afters in our new home from 2018. Let us know which is your favorite! You can head over to the renovation specific post if you’re interested in more details.

Our Master Bedroom

We love our airy and fresh master bedroom that feels like an oasis! We chose a calming color palette and made sure not to overcrowd the space.

It went through two phases. The first phase we painted, added a chandelier, window treatments and furniture. Then we layered in more items that we felt were needed for the space over time, such as bedside sconces and new artwork that felt “us”.

Read about the first phase here, and the second here.

Here’s the before:

Anchor’s Bedroom

This is one of my favorite rooms in the house! It’s so cozy and really embodies who Anchor is. A fresh coat of paint, an organic shiplap wall, simple window treatments, a fun pendant and purposeful furniture and decor make this room the special place that it is.

Here’s the before:

Family Room

The space we spend most of our time together as a family and with guests, we wanted this room to be playful, comfortable and speak to who we are as a family. Its cozy, modern eclectic vibe with collected, handmade and meaningful pieces make this space a true representation of our style.

A lot of work was done in the room and we were lucky to have the help of my very talented dad. The whole room was painted, new floors put in, recessed lights installed, ceiling fan replaced with chandelier, wiring installed for flat screen TV, new fireplace mantle installed and more!

Here’s the before:

Garage Exterior

Saving the best for last! I think this is our favorite project of the year because it was something truly different than what we’ve designed and done before. I had such a blast coming up with the design of this garage exterior and am absolutely AMAZED at the execution Dan did, especially the trellis he built from SCRATCH! The beautiful, handmade light fixtures are the icing on the cake.
