It’s been interesting, sharing our journey with you guys from the very beginning.
We’ve had quite a few projects going on in the background, and we’ll be checking into revisit the projects in our queue that are closer to being completed. Along with updates on where we are with certain builds and spaces, before we share the big shebang of a reveal.
So today, we wanted to share all the crazy updates, and a little bit of where we are. It’s a bit of a glimpse of a day in the life of what we’ve been up to. So without further ado, updates on each project and how everything is coming along. So I guess for those of you asking, it’s a fun glimpse at where we are with each project, and why. And more importantly, reality.
First up:
The Pool House Project!
I believe that our last update was in June, though the process {if you asked our sweet client- she’d tell you} has been going on much longer than this. Unfortunately, I believe that our entire personal renovation was a little trial by fire in getting acquainted with local codes and how, um… challenging they can be. Thus, a nice pool house that we can’t wait to share the final with you, has taken a little while on the behind-the-scenes side of things. Because local codes can be a beast when it comes to progress and delays.
If you remember, we’ve cooked up a little bit of this, and you can see more of our plans in the link above. {We’ve already made a few changes as most designs do when they evolve over time.}
And we’ve had a little bit of a halt as far as all the pretty stuff. Sometimes, it just takes a while. But in the meantime, the outside is coming up beautifully. Isn’t it looking gorgeous on the outside? They’re painting this week, and the insulation and drywall should be going in oh so soon.
And the HVAC has been installed, as well on the inside!
Our amazing client has had lots of that beautiful tile from Jeffrey Court {all 7,000 pounds of it} delivered and ready to go, oh so soon!
So stay tuned for this one. It’s definitely worth the wait and a one-of-a-kind beauty.
Partial Kitchen {and Bathroom!} Renovation
Remember this kitchen where our awesome clients are saving big with a partial renovation for lots of bang? {You can see all the befores, and design details at that link.}
We’re also in the middle of finishing up their kids bathroom, too.
We cooked up a little bit of this, and there’s definitely a light at the end of the tunnel. Of course the designs have evolved but we’ve kept the heart of the idea and tweaked a few things as we’ve moved along.
We love the way their hallway bath is coming along for the kiddos and all things progress.
With a sneak peek of that vanity!
Let’s just say we’ve all become close friends through this one, {we say it was inevitable anyway;}} and they’re ready to have their kitchen back. But in the meantime, we’re all loving this tile from Jeffrey Court!
And look at those gawgeous countertops?!
We still have plenty of finishing touches coming up but we can’t wait to show you the final.
These in between pics do NOT do it justice, for sure.
Here’s a story she posted on instagram the other night, with a few more of the final elements coming together. Fabrics and paint colors and fabulous hardware… oh my!
We can’t wait!
The Garage Conversion
So close. So close, y’all. If you remember our befores, {in our intro post here} it looked like this.
There are a lot of smaller projects going on inside one big project, so be sure to check out all the preliminary plans in the link.
We’ve cooked up quite a few ideas for a multi-purpose space, and I don’t believe I ever shared any of it.
We can’t wait to show you the after!
And a few plans for the guest bath… there have been a lot of details involved with this one. So stay tuned.
In the meantime, there have been detailed drawings, awesome plans and fun tile work like this.
And a little bit of this.
Her ceiling is looking fab, too.
We can’t wait to show you this after, and to wrap this one up.
The Alabama Room
If you remember our joke from a few weeks ago there’s been a lot of AU love happening in this space, with plans like this…
And a few grand inspiration boards like this for some amazing furnishings
So we’ve been talking tile samples, finishes and all the little details.
And right now, the space looks like this.
Those ceilings are going to look fantastic! We’re loving the awesomeness that bead board provides. Bonus: it also covers a multitude of sins – aka the uneven ceilings in an older home. Like putting on a flattering outfit, beadboard ceilings look oh so wonderful.
Here you can see the alcove for their dry bar, where she can do all the entertaining. A perfect set up! We’re in the beginnings of the trim stages this week, and can’t wait to get them up and running for all things football.
The Pole Basement
I believe we introduced this one just a few weeks ago? This project has moved faster than most, and is well on its way with all things drywall.
If you want to see more plans for the project, be sure to click on the link above where we’ve shared all the fun goodies coming their way. This should give a fun idea as to where we are!
So far, so good with all things planning and process. From framing to insulation, and electrical work.
They’ve even framed out this wall for the new window {a-la window world} and all the new ones will be going in, soon.
Tiling and drywall are next – as I type this out. ;}
These are a few of the projects that are getting closer, and we hope it helps see a little bit of what we’ve been up to.
We have a few more client projects starting soon, so stay tuned for those as they come along.
We can’t wait to share.
We’re excited to share all these, as well as one of our own, with some progress like this, a few weekends ago. Who needs Cardio when you can beat an old shed until it falls? Jk we were a little more planned than that, but seriously. To say we were tired 3.5 hours later in the blazing heat, would be an understatement. We can’t wait to share more updates soon.
Byyyeeee 1978. Hello 2018.
So, what do you think about our sharing more of this process with all our ongoing projects?
We hope it helps illuminate some of the local business aspect, and how we love working with fabulous clients.
We share pretty regularly on our instagram stories as we go, so stay tuned there, too!
Be sure to check out our design services + our portfolio, and contact us here if you’d like to work with us we have more projects coming your way, soon!
Have an inspired day!
