Well guys, we hit the one year mark of living in our house (we moved on July 16th last year)! I wanted to do a tour to show you everything we've done in the first year, but honestly, it's pretty messy on a daily basis (that toddler life) and the thought of cleaning and photographing evvverrryyyy single room seems intimidating. Overall, blogging and Instagram have really slowed down for me this year, even as we continue to work on improving our house. That's partially due to the cute/busy/exhausting little boys that fill my time, and partially because when I do have time to blog, I've been trying to make each blog post more substantial and use my own photography instead of images pulled from the internet. But I realized that I kind of miss the quick, casual little inspiration posts, and I miss posting more frequently like I used to. Not sure if any of you miss hearing from me (ha!) but I thought I'd try sharing more of the things that are inspiring me currently, even if I don't have time to write long posts about them. The pretty photos are really all we need sometimes anyways. Amiright?
Speaking of pretty photos, I think I've found my "spirit designer." I recently came across Jkath Design Build + Reinvent, a husband-wife team based out of St. Paul/Minneapolis. Every one of their recent projects is so dreamy, like EXACTLY what I want in my own home. From the overall look down to the nitty gritty details. All of it. Gimme. Check out these beautifully designed spaces, and tell me you love them too!
Love the linear pendant and those black Windsor chairs...we are thinking of getting very similar ones for our dining room.
I am obsessed with the glazed terracotta tiles above. They are such a pretty twist on subway tiles, don't you think? I want them real bad for our kitchen.
I also love that they've used wood cabinets in a lot of their designs, which add so much warmth and character. I've heard that unpainted wood cabinets are making a comeback, although there's not much hope for our grainy oak cabinets with their 90s style arches. But these pretty Shaker style walnut cabinets...yesss please! The Jkath team actually makes their own custom cabinets, so yet another reason to hire them if you live in Minneapolis. :)
I spy with my little eye the same rug we used in our bathroom! And a similar mirror and similar tile choices. See what I mean about my spirit designer??
This bathroom (above) is pretty much exactly what I want for our master bathroom.
And here's another gorgeous kitchen--I love the blue island!
SO GOOD. If you're not already following Jkath Design Build + Reinvent, be sure to check out their website & Instagram! What do you think? Should I go back to sharing inspiration in a more casual way like this? Let me know and happy FRIDAYYYY!
