Home trends are always changing, and there is nothing we love more than following the latest trends.
Here are a few of our favorite trends of the season…
Board + Batten Headboard
I have a smaller bedroom, and the path between the foot of my bed and dresser is tight. I wanted a headboard, but all my options were pushing my bed out too far, making that path even tighter. So I decided an accent wall behind my bed was the perfect solution!
Entryway + Texture
by Sam Messmer
Before, during, and after entryway remodel
This project isn't something that I felt necessary to do upon moving in. It was absolutely quarantine-inspired. The more I sat and looked at the entryway, the more bored I became with it. Our garage is around back so we always go in and out of the back door so it wasn't in our face everyday. But, realizing that this is the very first space that our friends and family will see, we decided to dress it up to make a good first impression!
This project will give this home the best first impression possible. Whether it's friends and family members coming over and feeling immediately welcome; future tenants feeling like they live in a warm home and not a bland rental property; or eventually future buyers being hooked from the first seconds inside the home. It's all about setting the tone for the rest of the home!

Bedroom
For our bedroom, we really wanted to create a relaxing space that we could unwind and reset in after a stressful day of so many unknowns. The geometric accent wall that we designed is really the wow factor of our space. These types of accent walls are quite trendy right now, partially because they are fairly easy to do on your own, but also because they help elevate your space for a relatively low cost. For our room, we went with a playful design to help spruce things up a bit. Once we had our style locked down, the project was fairly easy to execute and we were able to crank it all out in one weekend.
The white box was not cutting it for us anymore so we started drafting up ideas.
Our home was built in the 1970s and hadn't been updated since the 90s. When we moved in the larger projects obviously took priority, so our poor little bedroom was neglected. For the longest time, it was just a bland box with a bed in it. Functional, but not too exciting to look at. However, once lockdown hit and we were forced to spend more time at home, every single room in our house became that much more important.
