Breakfast Nook Before & After

Today I’m very excited to share some before and after photos of our little breakfast nook. There are still some other small additions I would love to add to this space. I will, of course, be sharing those updates when they happen!

Rediscovering old treasures

We had a garage sale last weekend (our first since moving in last year) and there were a lot of boxes piled in our garage that hadn’t been opened in years. We found old papers and other special items that we’d kept for sentimental reasons and it all brought back a lot of good memories.

Before & After: Subway Tiled Kitchen

Last week I shared a little sneak at my recently tiled kitchen. Today I’m sharing much more! While the difference between these before and after shots is not startling, you can definitely tell that the white subway tile backsplash really brightens up the entire kitchen.

Here’s what I started with on an early Saturday morning:
