COLOR SCHEME
Neutral, clean, elegant, cozy, moody.. me or my walls? Our exterior is a combination of siding, stucco, and brick. Our interior is a combination of painted walls, stone, wood walls, and Limewash.
I love this color. Its grey without being too gloomy grey. It looks great with my creamier and wood toned kitchen but also pairs will with my black windows and dark front door.
Agreeable Gray SW 7029
Beautiful warm beige but without looking yellowy or 90s vibe. We did the exterior stucco and siding of our home this color and I love it. Looks beautiful in the sun and the shade and doesn't at all look yellow which was something I definitely wanted ...
Accessible Beige SW 7036 | Neutral Paint Colors
This is such a beautiful relaxing color. We used this for all our window trim exterior and also painted our primary bedroom this color. I feel so cozy every night in our room.
Elephant Ear SW 9168 | Neutral Paint Colors
This one is my favorite hands down. I can't get enough of it and the emo punk teen in me wishes I had painted the entire house inside and out this color. We used this for exterior trim and the entire office. Cabinets, walls, trim- its moody and fabul...
Urbane Bronze SW 7048 | Neutral Paint Colors | Sherwin-Williams
Iron Ore has been one of my favorites for awhile. It's the perfect black that isn't harsh or flat. It's a subtle black, technically a dark grey. But it's beautiful. I had an accent wall, our garage doors, laundry room cabinets and faux brick wall and...

PRIMARY BATHROOM TILE & FIXTURES
My bathroom feels like a luxurious spa and I love the outcome.
My bathroom shower tile. I love the large format tiles so I could have minimal grout. I paired these with white schluter trim to edge it all cleanly.
Sienna Bianca Polished Porcelain Tile
My shower floor tile. I knew I wanted a dark color and this came out really gorgeous.I also used a large tile version of this for the shower curb entry.
Uptown Antracite Matte Porcelain Mosaic
These may be my favorite fixtures in the house. I put these next to each side of our mirrors on our double vanity. The quality is stunning and it is a near exact RH dupe.
19" Modern Gold Wall Sconces Set of 2
I hung these on the short rod in my bathroom and in my closet to tie the two together. Don't underestimate how much a pretty chandelier in your closet or bathroom can lift your spirits. This is an easy change from a boring light to make a big impact ...
Crystal Pendant Light 4-Light Black Chandelier
Big grand tall mirrors are a must!!! Bigger the better. I love the way these made our bathroom really stand out with an elevated elegant feel.

Brushed Gold Waterfall Bathroom Faucet
GUEST BATH
Great vanity lighting option with two tones for mixing and matching metals.
Black and Gold Vanity Light
Kohler is one of the best brands for longevity and minimal issues with faucets. I know its more expensive compared to an Amazon brand, but you can tell the difference in a high traffic area.
KOHLER Premise Matte Black Widespread
I used this large format tile in our guest shower. I did one full wall and one half wall with a ledge and the little brick tiles upright in horizontal rows with it. It is stunning!! I used biscuit color for the grout.
Satori Armonia Luna 24-in x 48-in Matte Porcelain Floor and Wall Tile ( 7.75-sq ft Piece )
Because these are a higher price per sq ft, I used these as a feature wall above a ledge in the shower. I stacked them vertically and did rows of them for a more modern feel. No brick laying style- this alone can modernize a space with the same mater...
American Olean Earthy Historic Beige 2-in x 8-in Matte Porcelain Floor
We put this in our guest bathroom which has a tub and shower so I loved the modern edge this added to the space.
12 Inch Shower System with Tub Spout
HALF BATH
These are bigger and more beautiful than I anticipated. I get so many compliments on these because they really look designer, but were very budget friendly. I have them mounted on the left and right wall above the vanity in front of the mirror in our...
BOKT Mid Century Modern Gold Crystal Wall Sconce
Really love this touch of elegance with the waterfall style faucet. This is in our half bath and looks perfect.
gotonovo 8in Widespread Bathroom Faucet Set
Multiple color options to fit your needs but I went with sage for a pop of color. My only complaint is that it didn't come with a backsplash piece, but I loved it too much to care in the end.
42'' Single Bathroom Vanity with Engineered Stone Top
This fits the space perfectly above a 42" vanity and I loved the arch to go with some of the archways throughout my home.
36"x40" Black Arched Mirror with Tempered Glass
KITCHEN
This kitchen design kept me up at night for HOURS for MONTHS. But I am truly obsessed with the final product.
I used this as the backsplash on my range wall, on part of my fireplace, and on an archway leading into the kitchen and I am actually obsessed with it. I keep trying to find excuses to put it in more places in the house. It's so beautiful and adds th...
Alamo Sandstone Random Ledger Panel
We did the Bryant 5 piece cabinet doors- with a matching dishwasher panel and fridge panel. I have loved these cabinets so far. Very beautiful wood cabinets that look custom but are not as expensive. I mixed the two colors MOREL stain and MARCONA col...
Bryant | Shaker Door Style (Color Morel)
I used these knobs on all of my kitchen cabinet doors. I love the textured edge and the luxury look. It was the perfect brushed gold to match with all of my handles.
20 Pack 1-1/5"(30mm) Brushed Gold Cabinet Knobs
These have bewitched me body and soul and I love, I love, I love these. I can't get enough of them. They are so luxurious and look so much more expensive than they are!! PLUS I love that the holes are drilled behind the drawers so if I ever change my...
Goldenwarm 10 Pack Gold Finger Edge Pulls
I put these in my kitchen in place of can lights. I have 8 of them and they point straight down. I cannot stand can lights.. my electrician thought I was crazy, but came around once he saw the kitchen complete.
GLOBE Electric 1-Light Matte Brass Spotlight
These are my gorgeous girls next to my vent hood. The look stunning on top of the stone backsplash and brought in the touch of black I needed. They put out a surprising amount of light and really complete the space.
14.2in Alabaster Natural Marble Wall Sconces
This is such a simple cheap luxury. You need to let your countertop installer know to drill the hole for it, so have it on hand before countertops go in. If you aren't putting in new countertops you just need hole drilled and let your electrician kno...
Garbage Disposal Switch
I have been loving the added features on top for the colander, cutting board, and drying rack. It has been so nice to have and the size of this sink has been perfect for all my large pans and cookie sheets.
36"L x 19"W Single Bowl Stainless Steel Undermount Kitchen Sink
I went budget friendly here, because my thought was I can replace 5 of these before I've paid for one luxury perigold faucet! So far I have had no issues and love the sprayer in my large sink.
Kitchen Faucet Pull Down Sprayer Brushed Gold
FLOORING
When I step, you step, we step.
This is our flooring throughout all of the main living areas. We get sooo many compliments on our flooring everytime someone comes over. The wide planks are really beautiful. I have to be honest I was really against using LVP, but with pets and young...
Seaside Ash Waterproof Rigid Core Luxury Vinyl Plank - Cork Pad
This is the carpet we put in all our bedrooms. I love it and it's got hints of brown, grey, black, tan, cream so I am able to be flexible with my colors and it still blends nicely. The trick with carpet is DO NOT skimp on the padding. Buy the best pa...
PHENIX PARADOX SEALSKIN
We used this tile in our laundry room and I honestly love it more than I thought I would. I wanted something that could hide some dirt since this will be the main traffic flow for kids, shoes, and dog paws and I honestly wish I had used this tile in ...
