Hi There! Let’s Get Started
Welcome, I’m Heidi, here you will take a journey with me (and my co-worker/husband), Andy through our home renovations. From total remodels to home decor and everything in-between.

Updated Lounge Space
We have this somewhat awkward space in our home. It used to be a bedroom, but it was removed about 10 years ago, and ever since then it’s really just functioned as a pass-through to the garage, guest bathroom, or bedrooms. I wanted to transform it into a quiet little…

Media Wall With Fireplace
When we added the great room onto our home, it was essentially two solid walls and one wall of glass bifold doors. Grand, yes—but also bare and a bit boring. After years of staring at it (and even moving away for a while), I returned with a fresh perspective. I…

Dinning Room Makeover
I’ve never been into formal dining rooms—they always feel a little cold and stuffy to me, and that’s just not my vibe. I’m much more of a casual gal. But I do love having a cozy, inviting spot to enjoy a good meal, play cards, or work on a puzzle with family…

Guest Bathroom Glow-Up
This ho-hum guest bathroom was in need of a glow-up! I wanted to give this space some personality, some soft drama with a little glam. This transformation was accomplished with minimal changes that made a big impact. Step 1: Giving the existing vanity a facelift. I sanded, primed and painted…

California Master Bathroom Remodel
Master Bathroom Makeover We had rented out our Northern California home of 20 years when we embarked on our journey to North Carolina for 3 years. My time in NC stirred up my underlying passion for home design which together with my husband we created, built and accomplished some fun…

Entry Makeover
The original entry way in our NC home felt a bit enclosed with wasted space. I wanted to create an area to drop our shoes, hats, keys, dog leashes, etc. I love arches however the shape of the ones we had were too formal for my style and what was…

Electric Fireplace Wall
Transforming a blank wall into a focal point is one of my favorite kinds of projects. I’ve always found fireplaces to be incredibly cozy and calming, and I’ve wanted one in our bedroom for years. This space finally gave me the perfect opportunity to make that dream a reality. There…
