Kitchen Before + After

February 9, 2021

This is about two years overdue, but wanted to share the details on our kitchen remodel, including before/after photos. Our kitchen reno was pretty minor (nothing moved), but it changed the room in a big way!

We took down wallpaper, installed hardwoods, painted walls and cabinets, updated appliances, selected new counters and backsplash, reworked the pantry doors, installed new lighting, removed the island, changed the bar seating to counter height and installed new window coverings and windows. Typing that makes it seem like a lot, but it was all cosmetic.

Our breakfast nook isn’t done yet. We are currently working on decorating it and will share more when it’s complete! Our table currently seats 4, so we will be getting new table/chairs to accomodate up to six people and adding art!

Kitchen Details

Counters: Silestone Calacatta Gold Quartz
Backsplash: Honed carrera marble tile
Sink: Shaw Apron front sink
Appliances: Bosch
Hardware and Faucet: Sourced from Westside Kitchen & Bath

Construction Truck Party

January 26, 2021

bubble and tee shirts with construction theme monogram

William has loved the color yellow since he was one! Everything has to be yellow (for the most part), so when we were trying to figure out a birthday party theme, he immediately wanted construction trucks. We ran with it and here is what we came up with for his 5th bday!

Construction Truck Party

Invitations: These construction truck invitations are so cute and they shipped so fast!
Clothes: We had these construction truck monograms added to these polo shirts made for the older boys and a matching bubble for Ford. You can choose any color for monogram/trucks!
Custom cups: The birthday boy picked these yellow cups and we added these construction truck straws.
Custom napkins: We also had matching yellow napkins
Plates: These plates are too cute and a great price
Tablecloths: These plastic tablecloths worked well and easy clean-up, too!
Mini construction trucks: The kids all had so much fun playing with these mini construction trucks on the construction zone tablecloths
Hats: We used these “hard hats” as party favors (we added on custom stickers) and the kids all loved wearing them at the party.
Cake: We had so much fun coming up with this “construction site” cake and the kids all loved it
