A big part of what makes projects like these so fun is having a community with which you can share your small accomplishments. So thank you for your encouraging words, Jordyn!

Funny you mention that, Kayla! I’m actually working on a post about figuring out if you’re cut out for renovating! :)

Thanks, Elana! I’ll be honest, I’ve enjoyed this process so much that I’m considering moving from graphic to interior design! :)

Thank you so much for your encouraging words, Brianna! The drywall dust was definitely a MAJOR pain, and guess who got stuck with cleaning it?! Yup, the person with extreme OCD – me! :) A few weeks have passed since these photos were taken, so some progress has been made. In fact, we expect all of the painting to be finished this weekend, so check back in to see how that turns out!

Our little bungalow is approximately 1400 sq. ft. – far too much space for my husband and I, but we do hope to fill the place with little ones sooner rather than later, so that’s the thinking behind so much space. It’s encouraging to find others who make a small house work for a large family, so I’m extremely excited you stopped by! I saw on your blog that you’re from Asheville? I used to live there myself and visit quite often, as I still have lots of family there. Would love the chance to meet up next time I’m in town!

As far as photography, lots of natural light seems to be the biggest factor in how well the photos turn out. Although a professional camera is always a plus – and I use it for 95% of my posts – these photos, believe it or not, were actually taken with my iPhone! My issue with taking progress photos, however, is the mess. It’s a daily struggle between my desire to share and my OCD tendencies, but I’m working through them! :)

I can’t quite figure out why, but your comment has really made my day. Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts! XO

I think the photos look great! I have a small house 1500 sqft for 2 adults and 4 kids. (We live inside a small city so we are lucky to be able to afford to own). I have never had a SINGLE photo turn out well. Yours are much better.

The drywall looks like it is coming along. Good luck with the drywall dust. It takes forever to get it all cleaned up!
