I have always been drawn to the charm of a cottage garden. When watching the Holiday it was the tiny English cottage I found dreamy, not the massive estate in Los Angelos (and I know so many of you can relate). My birthday trip to Europe last year, which included three days in The Cotswolds, […]

We received our kitchen renderings and space plan this past week! Seeing my crude sketches come to life in this way is beyond thrilling. I’ll share the renderings throughout the post below and chat about why I made certain design decisions, as well as provide the measurements for our specific space at the very end. […]

Welcome friends! We’re Erin & Matt. Yes, another married renovation duo, how original- we know! We actually started this partnership of ours as a seasonal firefighter and Cheesecake Factory server who met on MySpace. Matt’s opening line, that fateful day in 2006, was something wildly smooth like “I think we’d get along”… swoon. But he was really cute so I took a chance and replied. Now, 17 years later we’re here. Two kids, 6 moves, and 2 career changes later. Had you told 21 year old me who replied to that direct message: one day you’ll be working alongside this guy, married with 2 kids, still totally in love, renovating houses and sharing it all online I would have believed you; I’m a hopeless romantic. Matt would have said you were high. He wasn’t looking for forever at 23 but SURPRISE! Turns out when you pair a level headed, hilariously witty, super kind and remarkably skilled guy, with a big dreaming, design loving, sarcastic, anxiety riddled gal… cool stuff happens, can’t fight it. Check out our about page to learn more of our story, or just stick around. We promise to make it interesting.
