House FAQ
Ever wondered something about our house? I gathered all of the most frequently asked questions and answered them here. This blog post is a great resource if you are ever looking for paint color, item source, or material used in our home!
The Basics
Whether you are a new follower or have been around for a while, I think this resource will be super helpful! We’ve made SO much progress and I truly love where our home is at, especially when you look at where we started.
What was your renovation timeline?
We began our base renovation (things that ‘needed’ to be complete prior to moving in) in 2018 and finished in July 2019, continuing to update through the years! If you are interested to see more I shared a lot of the process under the ‘design’ section of the blog.
Where do you get your house plants from?
I shop most frequently at Petitti’s but I also love Stump, Lakewood Plant Company, and online at Pistils Nursery + The Sill!
What are your favorite stores for home decor?
I love shopping locally for antiques, here are my local recommendations. I mix old & new in our house frequently, here are a few of my go-to stores to find new + antique items Etsy, Chairish, Arhaus, Pottery Barn, and Terrain.
Paint + Materials
Paint, wallpaper, flooring, textures, and other materials used in our home are a huge part of what makes our space so cozy and unique. These are the colors that work the best in our space. If you are looking for the perfect paint color, I recommend sampling it in your space first to make sure it works with the natural lighting of your home! ☺️
What are your interior wall colors and textures?
Bathroom, kitchen, living room, dining room, bathroom
Walls - Alabaster by Sherwin Williams, eggshell finish
Trim - Alabaster by Sherwin Williams, semi-gloss finish
Addition
Roman Clay by Portola Paints in Patagonia. The application process and tips can be found here.
Workroom
The walls are full-wall art murals created with molding paste + acrylic paint, using a spatula and brush to create texture. You can get a quick view on the process in my testimony video, here.
What is your exterior paint color?
Alabaster by Sherwin Williams, masonry paint, satin finish.
What is the color of your kitchen cabinets?
Our kitchen cabinets are a stock color from Masterbrand Cabinets (the company that made our cabinets). If you are looking for a close match, Retreat by Sherwin Williams is not exact but extremely close!
What material is your kitchen ceiling?
I love the unique touch of wallpaper and it was the perfect accent for our kitchen ceilings, I linked the wallpaper we used here!
What type of floors do you have throughout your home?
The first floor is reclaimed white oak, sourced by the company that renovated our home! The second floor is the original white oak flooring that came with the house. We refinished it during renovation.
What type of windows do you have?
My windows are Pella, from their Impervia line. They come in black which was the perfect accent for our home!

I love sharing my reviews on the products in our home. On the blog, I’ve shared in-depth reviews of our curtain panels, curtain rods, sectional sofa, and more. You can find in-depth reviews in the ‘sources and reviews’ section, here are the links to the items I get asked about most frequently!
Where are your curtain rods from?
I got custom curtain rods for our home because I couldn’t find any to fit our windows perfectly, linked here! They come in a variety of colors, I picked black for our home.
