I have an August Idyllic Moments post on the blog today. Click over to see what vignettes in my kitchen have been making me happy this summer! I also have a few new vintage things you may spot.

In this post, I’ll be showing you how to seal butcher block with Polycrylic and explain why it’s the BEST sealer to use for butcher block.

I am so excited to walk you through the kitchen, family room, and dining room before and afters for one of our recent remodel projects! This project was a large one, with the two upper floors both getting remodeled with stunningly beautiful results. We had so much fun working with the homeowner to create a space that uniquely represented the style and feel that they envisioned. This kitchen is a lovely mis of clean lines and cool tones with texture and warmth from wood accents…

Is this the worst kitchen you’ve ever seen? Well, it may not look like it. But behind its benign, if somewhat bland, appearance lurked a dirty secret… a really dirty one. Mouse poop. Rob and Liz, the homeowners, were only using about 25% of their cabinet space, thanks to these uninvited guests. Additionally, the kitchen was freezing in the winter — standing in the right place, you could actually feel a breeze blowing across your feet. Lovely.
