Purely no small feat...and you gave birth too. Truly, the sheer power and energy of pregnancy is awe inspiring and making a house a home during it all, deserves another level of some sort of trophy or award. I love all the changes that you made to put your stamp on your nest. I bestow upon you a crown of laurel wreath, and a torch to run behind you. You are like an Olympian of style in the home.

I think I started reading your blog just as you were on the hunt for your new home. I have loved watching you transform it into this amazing, inviting, beautiful space for your family. It really is incredible the changes you have made in such a short time. As always, I applaud your creative genius. I think your kitchen is my favorite, no surely it is the orange door, but wait, there's the fabulous entry...oh, forget about it, I LOVE IT ALL! And the fact that such a wonderful family lives here is just icing on the cake!

My goodness that is amazing. I cannot believe the foyer. I feel like I have seen this image over and over, but I am not sure I connected it to you. It is breathtaking! The orange door is perfect! The clear table in the family room is so cool. I also really like the chandelier that looks like it is hanging in the corner. How did you think of that? The black chandelier is so graphic! I love it! Such a statement. Of course the kitchen is perfect. What a cool thing you did with the refrigerator. I can't believe you get to sleep in that room! jealous!
Your are so talented!
I just wrote a post with a sort of similar before and after showing some amazing interior design. I would love for you to stop by and see it.

I have been reading your blog for a while now and I am obsessed with your orange front door. My husband who usually chooses to have no input in the design of the house also loves your front door. I have painted two paint samples on the door one looks like a hunter "don't shoot me" orange and the other is a little darker and boring. Would you mind sharing with me what color you painted your front door so that I could try it out and see if it is the shade we want.

this is stunning. I am amazed at the amount of work you've done in just two years. I've lived in my little cottage for almost seven years now and there are areas that still aren't "finished". I guess to a certain extent, we decorating types are never totally "finished", but still...you have great style that really resonates with me and I'm so glad I've found your blog.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the inspiration. We live in a split-level home... we wanted to live in a darling little community, and these were the homes in our price-range.

I LOVE your home!!! We also have a split-foyer home that was built in 1979. It's a challenging house to deal with sometimes, especially the foyer. I love seeing what you've done with yours. When you walk up the stairs, the main living areas are 100% open, which makes it a little tricky to decorate. But the absolute thorn in my side has been our lower level. I can never figure out what to do with it. Was it a requirement of this type of house to make it so difficult to deal with?? I agree with the feeling of being in a treehouse. Ours is in the woods also, and I like being up higher.. it's especially pretty in the winter time!

I am decorating a split foyer (very much like yours) at the moment, and I've decided to paint the top of it the dark gray color you chose. Can you share what color/brand paint you used on the exterior? I would greatly appreciate it. :)

Could you please share where you purchased your green sofa in your living area. I love the color. I'm working with a custom sofa co in CA and I was hoping you could share the fabric manufacturer, type an dcolor so I can try to obtain a swatch and match as best as possible with the options I have available.
Thank you!

I am so glad I found this blog! I bought a 1979 bi-level split home last year, and haven't seen a lot of redecorating/remodeling done on this style yet. I love what you've done.

Hi Lauren, I like your blog and love your amazing "before and after" of your home, so I've made a post about it, and I published some of your pictures in my blog Estilo y decoración, I hope you don't mind.
Despite my blog is in Spanish I hope you can visit

I love your home. You've put so much work into it and it shows. Beautiful! I think this is the third or fourth time I've re-read this post. We're about to psint our home a gray and I'm wondering if you would mind sharing what color gray you chose for the exterior of your home? Thanks so much in advance.

I was so thrilled to see your home featured in the Washington Post this past week! My husband and I bought a split foyer home in Clifton, VA 10 years ago, and since then I've been searching for improvement ideas - especially for the facade. How inspiring it is to see how beautifully you have transformed your home!

You may have been asked umpteen times, but did you photoshop the front of your house in the snow pic? There are 2 large mature trees in the pics that are not there in the before pic??
Just wonderin'...

- Lauren said...
Nope- no photoshopping. The pics were just taken from two different angles. My pic after pic is straight on and the before (real estate photo) is taken from the right side
(ps- i dont have skills that good! ;)

I love your home! It is just beautiful. I see you got your swing arm brass lamp and it looks perfect next to your lovely brass bed. I love-love-love the mid-century lamp with the 2 tiered fiberglass shades. I even love the rock wall which surprised me. You have such a great eye. Thank you for letting me "tour" your home. :)

Wow! I just want to say thank you for your blog! I am relatively new to the blogosphere and am quickly discovering that it really is the best place for a SAHM like me to find inspiration for home decorating. Though I've been enjoying MANY diy and home blogs I've felt like they are either contemporary or (more often than not) totally girly shabby chic. I like and appreciate both but it just didn't feel right. Your home has inspired me anew bc it is the absolute closest to what I want to emulate in our little home. SO, thank you thank you and THANK YOU!

may i ask a quick question? when you beadboarded your wall, how did you finish it off at the ceiling? i can't quite tell. is there some sort of molding that covers up the seams between end of bead board/beginning of ceiling?

Hi Lauren,
I loved looking at the pictures of your home! You have fun eclectic style!
I noticed that you did white curtains in your rooms, which is a look I LOVE. I've been looking everywhere for white curtains for over a year and have yet to find ones that I like- there don't seem to be much out there. if you don't mind, would you be able to tell me where you got yours for the living room and bedroom (before and after pics). It would help me so much!
thanks and keep up the awesome decorating !

I saw your house tour a few years ago and stumbled upon it again through pinterst. I just love what you envisioned and the afters are just beautiful. Is that a camel stool used as a foot rest? My father in law has one he bought in morocco years ago and I've never seen one used that way! Also the old fisherman with pipe portrait is perfect. Was that a flea it find?

There will always be something to do tho! I love all of what you did in your home - you have a great talent with a big vision!
