Abby and her husband reached out early in the process after having a contractor in place and renovation plan mapped out. They’d purchased the beloved sprawling homestead her grandparents had built and lived in since the early 1960s, and were embarking on a renovation.

Read MoreI mentioned in the dining room reveal post how decorating the wall behind our hutch often plagued me. It’s very focal, one of the first places your eye rests when you walk through the front door. But it’s also obscured behind an acrylic green light fixture. My go-to has been…
Read MoreHere she is, our dining room all done up in blue! Deeply saturated with green undertones, some might call it teal, but I don’t think that’s quite right. What is right is what the color – Amidship from HGTV HOME by Sherwin Williams – has done for the room.
