    Forced bulbs bring life in the Winter

    Over the last few years, one of the things that has really helped me through Winter is growing forced bulbs.

Taking some time to rest while the rain falls this Taking some time to rest while the rain falls this weekend. I'm not great at resting or relaxing, and I always feel a little guilty about it, but the truth is I'm running on empty. This remodel is the BIGGEST blessing, but things like rest, quiet, holding still and personal hygiene 😂 have not been at an all time high. Everything takes sacrifice! And it'll be so worth it. 

Meanwhile, let's talk about my roses which have been insane this year. I will never plant anything but @david_austin_roses in my gardens. So easy to care for, easy to grow and so prolific. And the scent!!!!!! #davidaustinroses🌹 #davidaustin #cottageroses #englishroses #potageronline
Ready for the next installment of Remodel weekly!? Ready for the next installment of Remodel weekly!? There's a new post up on my @substack (link in bio) and a new post on the blog (also link in bio). Go read about all this week's happenings, my design ideas for the upstairs bedrooms, before videos, progress pics and so much more! 

Happy Friday friends! We're taking a deep breath before more work begins next week. Phew! It's a beautiful whirlwind. #swedishcottage #swedishcottagestyle #swedishbedroom #remodelupdate #fixerupper #cottagereno
Let’s stain my STIAR TREADS. We went with Whit Let’s stain my STIAR TREADS. 

We went with White Oak from @lumliquidators for our treads. I decided to go with an Antique White stain by @varathane for the finish, as the stairwell is fairly dark, and I just wanted to take the yellow out of the wood.

First I applied a wood conditioner, then the stain, then 2 coats of polycrilic. Couple weeks and they’ll be installed! Now I wanna refinish our line floors. 🤣🎉 #swedishcottage #cottageremodel #swedishcottageremodel #fixerupper
IT IS HERE. All my hopes, dreams and ideas for the IT IS HERE. All my hopes, dreams and ideas for the main bathroom remodel! Over on the blog RIGHT NOW. Link in bio. #bathroomremodel #swedishcottage #bathroomreno #swedishcountrystyle
My little kitchen is currently wrapped in plastic My little kitchen is currently wrapped in plastic and covered in drywall dust, so I'm clinging to cleaner moments. 😂 Renovations continue upstairs and we are just flying by the seat of our pants for the foreseeable future.

If you've ever wondered what it's like to live with an unfitted kitchen, go check out my blog post and take a peek inside mine. She's not perfect, but I'm grateful for her!

My FAVORITE part of home renovations… is workin My FAVORITE part of home renovations…

is working with my Dad! 

My sweet dad @ramester23 owned a construction company for 40 years. He built incredible homes, buildings and works of art. He is incredibly talented, self-taught and forged his way in an extremely competitive and cutthroat industry. I grew up on job sites, admiring his craftsmanship, application of beautiful materials and eye for architectural detail. 

Over the last 10 years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with him on my own homes, and through the sweat, sawdust and occasional swear words 🤣 we have forged some everlasting memories.

Two of my dearest friends tragically lost their dads this last year. I’m not taking one single moment for granted. 

Love you forever Dad. 🩷 #homerenovation #renodad #fixerupper #demoday
D E M O D A Y!!!! It was a good, long, sweaty day D E M O  D A Y!!!! It was a good, long, sweaty day in our little cottage as we tore out two bathrooms, a closet and removed all the trim for new drywall. Massive thank you to my brother @cramey3 (and his wife @allieanne22!), my dad @ramester23 and my handsome farmer @tayjmart. 💪🏻 So so grateful for this project. 🫶🏻 Gonna be life changing! Now, what do you want to know!? Leave a comment. #cottageremodel #swedishcottage #demoday
