I’m sharing the final room reveal (for now) from our main floor remodel. As far as design goes, this space is my favourite room in our home. I had been dreaming up ideas and saving away images for it over the last few years, and it’s been exciting to see it come together. the Befores If you read the last few posts on our home, you might have seen our original kitchen layout.

Room Edit No. 2 – A Dining Room for Hosting
We’ve finished our second room edit, and I’ve been so excited to share this one with you all! Our client was looking to design an inviting space where she could host family and friends around a large dining table. Here’s how the space started: The space was recently renovated and just waiting to be fully furnished.
