Our New Home

If you are a follower of mine, you know I recently moved. We have been remodeling our charming farmhouse style house. It is in a dream location, close to Lake Austin and all of the restaurants and events downtown. Which we thoroughly enjoyed for about four months before quarantine went into place.

We were excited about downsizing and cut our square footage in about half, and the land went from 2 acres to less than 1/2! The smaller size is so much more manageable and gives us a much closer feeling as a family. The boys are just down the hall instead of out of ear range upstairs.

The interior of the house was beautiful but needed a bit of updating. We have completely changed out the dark wood flooring for light oak, updated lighting, opened up small doorways, and smooth textured every wall and ceiling in the house.

Guest Bathroom Remodel

The guest bathroom was a big project. The room needed to be completely gutted. I knew I wanted the design to be unique and continue the authentic vintage charm the home has.

However, I had no idea where to start. Thankfully I ran across the design firm Light & Dwell. I was thrilled to see they offered a virtual design service. You can read more about their services here.

Working with them was so easy! They made the bathroom design come together like I never could. Mixing metals, choosing the perfect vanity, and tile placement were all done virtually. They hit it out of the park, and I couldn’t be happier with the new space.

As you can see, the previous space was dark and dated. Now the new bathroom is light and bright but in a charming way that seamlessly integrated with our 1960’s home.

We couldn’t be happier and are looking forward to working on other rooms in the home with Light & Dwell.
