Contrast Trim in our Mudroom

Not quite there yet, but getting closer at least. Swipe through to take a look back at how much this view has changed through the eight months we’ve lived in this new/old Tudor.

With so much to do around here, it can sometimes feel like we’re moving at a snail’s pace through our renovations, but when I pause to take a look back at it all, it definitely starts to add up. It’s hard to believe all the changes we’ve made in the last few weeks! Swipe through to see them all, including a look at the contrast trim I painted out in our mudroom last week. And keep an eye on the blog tomorrow to see what’s next on our list!

This cozy little study is our very favourite room

It’s been a busy few weeks around here my friend

It’s been a busy few weeks around here my friends (and far too long since I’ve checked in). While we haven’t gotten much work done around the house, we have enjoyed a few road trips, some epic ski days (well the boys anyway) and a ton of fun visits with family & friends instead! The highlight was hands down our trip back to Rossland, BC - it’s a 13 hour drive from us now, so we hadn’t been back to visit since we left more than 8 years ago, but oh my goodness, we had such a blast reminiscing about our years there! We got to show Carson around the little ski town that he spent the first three years of his life in - the first place he ever biked and skied, the house we lived in (and where Making it in the Mountains was born) and best of all, we got to reconnect with friends that were family to us all. ♥️ It was definitely a special trip for us all and just the break we needed to rest and recharge. And now, I think we’re feeling more ready than ever to hit the ground running with all these house projects that have been swirling around our heads these past few months! Get ready my friends because I’ve got loads of fun ideas coming your way!

Couldn’t resist adding a little green to the fee

Couldn’t resist adding a little green to the feed today with this throwback to Carson’s old room. This room is still one of our all time favourites - our first real jump into working with some bold colour. Looking back at this space makes me feel even more excited to bring more of these bold colours into our new home! What about you - do you tend to stick to neutrals in your home or do you like to play around with a bit (or a lot) of colour too?

It may not look a whole lot different to you, but

It may not look a whole lot different to you, but we spent some time switching out a few of our light switches this past weekend and we are definitely noticing a big difference around here already! Not only are we swapping out the “fancy” switch covers that were scattered around the house (swipe to see what I’m talking about here), but even more impactful for us, we’re jumping on board the smart home train with these brilliant little switches. We’ve been having a ton of fun exploring all of the different things these little switches can do - programming our exterior lights to come on as the sun sets, and our kitchen lights to pop on in the morning before I head down to make my coffee. We’ve even set up some “scenes” like having the mud room lights turn on automatically as we come home at night, or dimming all of the living room lights to curl up for a movie night. It’s been a total game changer for us already and we’re already planning out more ways we can add some smart automation to our home (blinds are next on our list).

Have you ever thought about adding some smart automation to your home?
