We are handing over the keys from this gorgeous property to the new owner of Plum Street! It was an honor to collaborate with on this one, and it’s a beauty. Congratulations to the new home owner!

There are so many unique features to this beauty on Plum Street, but some of our favorite things are the two different patio spaces! A main level patio off the kitchen on the 1st floor, and a 2nd story deck off the upstairs room, are both precious spaces when you’re living in the city.

Congratulations to the new potential home owners - this house is now under contract!

It’s not every house that comes with it’s very own stained glass window. 😍 The old character is something we love to keep whenever possible, and the stained glass is in wonderful condition, truly a one-of-a-kind beauty. 😍

This house on 510 N Plum Street was a co-project with , and we were honored to be a part of it.

The beauty of simplicity. Sometimes a room needs a big overhaul and it makes its own statement; other times it simply needs a white slate, and then you can put in a few things you love. This giant canvas from is stunning and the perfect fit for this space!

Showings are live this week! And we are excited for potential buyers to take a look at this gem on Plum Street. The Baker’s Table is just a few steps away from the house, but if you love to make your own food then this kitchen will be a dream! Fully remodeled, comes with a stove and refrigerator, it’s spacious with a lot of countertop area, and so much natural light. The European vibes are strong, and hopefully will scratch the travel itch most of us are having these days. 😉

A small room with low ceilings, but with big potential. 😍 This was a unique space because it had a hidden cathedral ceiling in the master. Of course, opening it up to the peak, and exposing the brick that was also there, was a no-brainer. It makes the room feel so much bigger, but also gives a completely different aesthetic- fresh and modern and airy.

Choosing an unusual and bold tile is one of the most fun parts of the project, and it’s often put into a bathroom. We loved this bold black and white, which makes a big statement, a bit cutting edge, while still staying classy. Paired with gold accents and a wooden vanity, it’s a timeless combination. Swipe to see the before!

You could say this space changed a bit over the course of this project. 😉 Opening up walls can completely change the look and feel of a room; this city kitchen was a decent size, but was closed off with small doorways and laid out impractically, which made it feel even smaller then it was. Opening it up to the high ceiling, and creating a peninsula/bar area instead of a wall opened up this whole area, giving it a bigger feel. We rearranged the layout as well, to make the most of the space. This is going to be one dream kitchen for a new homeowner - lots of natural light, lots of counter space, a pantry, open shelving, all new appliances, and able to still converse with family members or guests on the main floor. 👌🏼

It’s been a quiet few months for us here on this page, and several of the months we were unable to work due to our state restrictions with carpentry. But we are back at the remodeling again and have a project in the city we’ll be wrapping up within the next month! This gorgeous brick wall and cathedral ceiling is in the master bedroom - we are excited about what this space will become!
