How to Easily Change the Look of Your Kitchen

October 6, 2019 By Holly Thompson Leave a Comment

We've all heard how cabinet hardware and other smaller details act to a kitchen like jewelry does to an outfit. It can make it look cheap, outdated, or off, ruining the look of the entire outfit. Or, it can take an ordinary outfit and make it a stunner. It can also take the same outfit (or kitchen) and make it look like whatever style you're going for, simply by choosing the right hardware.

My Newest Project

June 11, 2019 By Holly Thompson 2 Comments

Update: click on my first article here! One of my favorite things I have gotten to do, probably EVER, was work with American Farmhouse Style magazine. They featured our home in their Fall 2017 issue, and it was an absolute ton of work to get it ready.

DIY Painted Checkerboard Floor Tips

October 2, 2018 By Holly Thompson 3 Comments

A few weeks ago, we decided to paint our kitchen floor in a checkerboard pattern.  There has been tons of interest since in how to do it, and I am thrilled that so many of you are planning this very same project!  I LOVE how it turned out and can't wait to see pictures from all of you who are brave enough to attempt it.
