🌿PRIVACY HEDGES: 1 Year Growth Progress! 🌿 If you’re looking for a fast-growing privacy hedge that stays green year-round, I’d definitely recommend Indian Laurel (Ficus Nitida)! We’ve seen so much growth over the last year and I can only imagine how lush the backyard is going to be by next summer! For reference, we planted mostly 15g trees but also planted a few mature trees that are in the 24” containers. All are planted 36” apart. *If you’re considering this type of tree for a privacy hedge, though, I would definitely approach it with a bit of caution & consult with your local nursery to see if it’s going to be a good fit for your yard. It can be invasive so taking the proper precautions, like installing root barriers or selecting a different variety of ficus, might be necessary!* . . . #homerenovation #landscaping #renovation #homedesign #homeimprovement #backyard #DIY

It’s all fun and games until something doesn’t go according to plan… 😆 #homerenovation #DIY #homeprojects #marriage

✨The Adobe Project: Space Planning, Mood Boarding, & Junk Removal!✨ Space planning is definitely one of the most important first steps for me when designing a new layout for a full gut renovation project. I have a few options of what we can do but im curious what your favorite layout is! Option A or Option B? Also, I have SO many ideas on what we can do with this house from my initial mood board! Im definitely leaning into the original Adobe/Spanish style which will make this process super fun for me! See you all in the next episode for more design planning! 🫡 #interiordesign #renovation #homerenovation #DIY #interiordesigner #homeimprovement #homedesign #homedecor #homeinterior #homeproject #realestate #fixerupper

✨The Adobe Project Renovation: Interior & Exterior Design Concepts!✨ I’m excited to be staying true to this Adobe/Spanish style home with our new design! Here’s the plan: EXTERIOR DESIGN: ✅ White stucco siding ✅ Terracotta tile roof ✅ Paved walkway ✅ Dryscaping ✅ Wrought iron gate & fixtures ✅ Courtyard ✅ Rustic wood door INTERIOR DESIGN: ✅ Saltillo tile flooring ✅ White cabinetry ✅ Wrought iron hardware & fixtures ✅ Aged brass faucets ✅ Woven light fixture ✅ Dark wood doors, shelves, & accents ✅ Decorative & Zellige tiles ✅ Arched walkways & range hood For our layout, we are going with Option B from the part 1 video, with a few minor adjustments. LAYOUT PRIORITIES/CHANGES: ✅ Add second bathroom with full tub ✅ Enlarge first bedroom & bathroom to make a primary suite ✅ Close off bathroom access through kitchen ✅ Adding formal dining nook in kitchen ❌ Losing hall linen closet ❌ Losing “back door access” (this home sits on the corner so the “backyard” is actually on the side of the house. The existing back door leads to the detached garage and 2 apartment units.) Let me know your thoughts on this in the comments! . . . #interiordesign #renovation #homerenovation #DIY #interiordesigner #homeimprovement #homedesign #homedecor #homeinterior #homeproject #realestate #investmentproperty #fixerupper

✨We Bought A Fixer Upper S4: THE ADOBE PROJECT!✨ We're about to kick off renovations in our 4th fixer upper project- this adorable Adobe style home + apartment combo! 🏚️ SPECS: It's a 3 bed/ 1 bath single-family home with a detached garage + two 1 bed/ 1 bath apartments in the back! It's a little rough around the edges but it has so much potential! We're so excited to bring back the original charm of this unique property and give it a second chance! 🏡🫶🏼 In Phase 1 we'll tackle renovations in the main house (interior & exterior) & the apartments will come in phase 2! #interiordesign #renovation #homerenovation #DIY #interiordesigner #homeimprovement #homedesign #homedecor #homeinterior #homeproject #realestate #fixerupper #diyproject #renovationproject

MORNING CHORES: 21w Pregnant w/ Toddler & 2 Goldens! 🤰🏻👧🏻🐕🐕 Life has looked a lot different for me since becoming a mom. I’ve been trying to find a good balance with home life, motherhood, content creation, & renovations/design projects, and truthfully, it’s been so hard for me! I tend to ‘retreat’ a lot during big life changes so if you’ve been wondering why I haven’t shared as much lately, it’s because I’m still trying to figure things out, all while managing the hormonal highs & lows of a recent miscarriage &, now entering my second trimester of pregnancy! This is the first time, in a long time, where I’m finally feeling like I’m finding my groove with it all—hopefully I can keep it up! I’ve learned that “blocking” my day seems to work best, prioritizing any household chores that need to be done during the first half of the day if possible, but it changes all the time depending on Violet’s schedule & our renovation projects, etc. leaving Violet’s nap time for me to get any work done, & the afternoon I’ll have fully dedicated to her & family. I don’t usually make content like this, but let me know if it’s something you enjoy it! 😀 . . . #sahm #cleaning #momlife #Vlog #interiordesigner #homeinteriors
