Remodel update: we’ve made a lot of choices on o Remodel update: we’ve made a lot of choices on our kitchen, bathroom, and complete upstairs remodel. Here’s what we’ve done so far: 1. Met with the contractor @sawtooth_remodeling! (They’re amazing! We highly recommend!) 2. Met with the custom cabinet builder and made all of our adjustments. 3. Picked out countertops. 4. Ordered kitchen sink, backsplash tile, and new fridge. 5. Now we wait and keep ordering things. Cabinets won’t be done until end of June so we can’t start demo until at least beginning of June. 

So you know what that means? A LOT of purging and organizing and packing until demo day, working on potty training our littlest and getting her out of her crib, and transitioning the current nursery into a fun bedroom for our oldest daughter. So much to do but we’re very excited!

We are closing on our home refinance on Monday and We are closing on our home refinance on Monday and we met with a contractor regarding a remodel (mainly on the kitchen) yesterday. So many exciting things happening! For now, I thought I’d share my very quick and last minute schematic I threw together yesterday to show the contractor. 

If you remember, the view as you walk into our upper level from the stairs is a wall of closets right now with a galley kitchen behind. This schematic shows you how that would open up and this would be your first view complete with a broom closet,  fridge and built-in pantry on the left, a statement backsplash and a waterfall-edged peninsula on the right. I seriously cannot wait!!! Also, we’re going to be keeping the original globe light fixtures and making them a highlight in the kitchen. 

It will be fun to see how this concept in my mind evolves and comes to life as the project continues. 

Have you ever taken on a full kitchen remodel? Any tips on how to get by without a kitchen during the reno process? Let me know all of the tips and coping mechanisms. 😉
Happy Thursday! Boy, are there a lot of things I h Happy Thursday! Boy, are there a lot of things I haven’t really filled you in on because I didn’t know how they would work out. But let’s just say we’re meeting with a contractor today. More on that soon. 

In other news, did you catch my stories recently? I talk about a new fun idea I have called #moodboardbymoonlight and I’m very excited about it! I’d love for you to go check that out and then you can start leaving your suggestions here or messaging me. Thanks for everything!

These little $1.50 travertine tiles turned coasters quickly became one of my favorite DIYs. Originally I had a big wallpaper reveal planned for you all but alas, life got in the way. 

But honestly, this project meant more to me than just a little DIY. This whole thing has served up a big life lesson for me (something I have been deeply struggling with for a while now). 

You see, I’ve been battling with self doubt, with worrying I’m not doing enough or “big” enough things, for that wow factor (like a wallpaper reveal). But, these little coasters allowed me to remember the joy I have in all of this and reminded me that perfection is not my goal. My goal is to show others that good-feeling design can be approachable, affordable, and attainable. And this little project is just that. 

I have been so caught up in my own head, dragging myself backwards, allowing those deprecating words like “failure” and “unworthy” to sink in. 

But these little coasters took me back to when all I could do was take a blurry photo, all I could do were minimal cheap projects, and I was so proud. It’s good to feel that pride again. 

So thank you, ladies, for allowing me to participate in this. I’m not sure you’ll ever realize how a little pink project helped save my mental state. 

Thank you, coasters, for reminding me of the reason I love design and DIY.

And thank you past self for relishing in the little things, present self for just allowing creativity to flow through this project, and future self for taking these lessons and blossoming them into something great. God has something big planned for you. You just don’t know what that is yet. ❤️

So happy with this little mudroom makeover that will make our space so much more functional but also beautiful.

It’s a late post kind of day. I recently scored It’s a late post kind of day. I recently scored this beautiful wood and wicker mid century cabinet from Facebook Marketplace and I’m in love! We knew this little nook (that used to be a closet) was going to be a hard fit. We wanted a piece of furniture that would not only look nice but provide some much needed storage for our kids craft projects and my extra decor pieces. This just so happened to fit perfectly in this space. I’m obsessed with it’s woven features, original brass handles, and mirrored back. Eek!! 

Also, swipe to see the beautiful artwork by @nabeelarumi. I finally found the perfect spot for her piece. The colors are absolutely stunning and the message is even more beautiful.

Cost Plus World Market Furniture Sale

What’s happening party people? I’m going to jump over the mumbo jumbo and get right into the meat of this post … the AMAZING furniture sale happening over at Cost Plus World Market. Through the 15th, all furniture is up to 60% off!

If you haven’t shopped at World Market, you are missing out! There are so many eclectic, boho, textural pieces that are so beautifully made. Our coffee table is from there. We also have a beautiful brass round end table. I also love shopping there for home accessories, lighting, dishware, jewelry, bags, food, and so much more. This is also a great place to go gift shopping. So if you have any special someone’s to shop for soon, they have great options for both men and women, including a great selection of both beer and wine.

So without further ado, here are some of my favorite pieces from the sale.

Cost Plus World market finds, Cost Plus World Market furniture sale, eclectic furniture, favorite furniture finds

Blue swivel chair – This chair looks so comfy but is incredibly stylish as well. Would be great as an accent chair in a living room or an office. Would even be an amazing reading chair.

3 Tier Rattan Shelf – What a cute shelf for organizing ALL the things in the new year. This would be great in a bathroom to hold extra towels, for art supplies and homework supplies, as a catch-all for keys, purse, or gloves and hats in a small entry.

Storage Woven Coffee Table – With kids in the house, it’s always smart to have furniture that not only looks nice but also provides storage. This coffee table is sooo good and would add a great textural element to any space.

Fringe Crane Ottoman – Ok, if you know me at all, you know I like a little funky. This little ottoman is so special and looks like something you might find at an estate sale. I love the fringe detail but what I especially appreciate is the versatility of this piece. It could work in a traditional space with the clean shape and moody colors. An eclectic boho space would adopt the crane print well. The softness would play well with clean lines of midcentury pieces. Who knew a little ottoman could get me so excited?

Metal Cabinet – These cabinets have been on our radar for a while. We have a taller bed and the height of these would be perfect as nightstands. Plus, the metal is a welcome change from most wood tables.

Green Office Chair – Another item we’ve had our eyes on. This Spring, we will be redoing our office space. These chairs will be a perfect addition. Stay tuned for more on that space soon.

Black Desk – Another transitional piece that has great personality and is a nice break from the usual desk we see. This is a smaller size too that could work great in apartments/lofts or could be a dual purpose desk and nightstand.

Wood Accent Table – Again with the personality! World Market is killing it! Such a fun little table to complete a reading corner so you can have a place to set your book and coffee and pretend that you have all the time in the world to have alone time …. #momlife.

Blanket Ladder – I know blanket ladders have been a thing for a long time but they’re not going anywhere any time soon. Being vertical, they bring the eye up and can make a smaller room feel larger while also bringing in not only a natural element, but extra space for storage. A win win win in my opinion!

I hope you enjoyed this little roundup. The sale ends next week so don’t forget to pop over to their site and get all your goodies fast.

This week has been full of so many fun things. I have gotten such amazing feedback from my last post discussing my hope for this new year. Please take a minute to check it out and join the #daringlyimperfect challenge! There is a lot of action happening on Instagram too. If you use the hashtag, I will feature you in my stories so make sure to check out and let’s support one another. You can find me here @rufusandhenrietta.

I’m still so proud of this mural. It really took I’m still so proud of this mural. It really took me out of my comfort zone. I get to see it every time I walk up to our front door, peeking through like a happy sunburst. This is about as far as we’ve gotten on this entryway but we have big plans. The majority of our entryway is paneled in real cedar planks which I love. The split level stairs are delicately wrapped in puke-inducing carpet which I don’t love. We have huge huge fun plans for these stairs; something I’ve never seen before. None of this will get done until after our kitchen remodel though so.... how’s that for a cliff hanger? I feel like a lot of our plans are on standstill right now because of refinancing so for now, I just have to tell you that I have plans but not actually share them with you.... good tactic? 😂🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️
