Timeless Kitchen Transformation Tales 📖✨

Hi Reader, I wanted to take some time today to reflect back on our most popular home renovation ever — our kitchen in our previous house. We moved away almost four years ago, and completed the kitchen six years ago, but I think it's a testament to the fact that classic design choices stand the test of time. And we have some great before-and-after pics to remind you of the complete transformation. But this wasn’t a done-in-a-month design overhaul like you see on TV shows. In fact, this project...

What We Keep (and What We Leave Behind)

What We Keep (and What We Leave Behind) Decluttering Isn’t Just About Stuff—It’s About Stories Hi Reader, I once read that we don’t just hold onto things—we hold onto the stories they carry. That’s why decluttering isn’t just about getting rid of stuff; it’s about deciding which stories we want to keep. I felt this deeply when I recently sorted through an old box tucked away in the basement we're about to finish. Inside were things I hadn’t seen in years: (hilarious) origami-folded notes from...

A New Chapter for My Business (and My Home)

A New Chapter in My Business The way we live in our home is changing, and so is my work. Hi Reader, Lately, I’ve felt a shift. After years of creating home content with SEO and trends in mind, I find myself craving something different—a deeper conversation about what home truly means. And if I’m being honest, this realization hit me in a personal way. My son is a junior looking at colleges, and I’m urgently seeing our home not just as a space we design, but as a place that holds our family’s...

New Year & Old Goals ✨

New Year & Old Goals 8 MIN READ BLOG SHOP MY HOME TOUR YOUTUBE FREE PRINTABLES (nhfreebies) Hi Reader, One thing I’ve realized as I head into 2025 is that, for the first time, my goals haven’t really changed. They’ve kind of stayed the same—and honestly, I think that’s a good thing. This kind of slow-down feels important. There’s no rule that says every goal you’re working on has to be wrapped up in a single year. When I look back at my PowerSheets from the past eight years, some goals, like...

A Seasonal Update from Nina: Fall Writing, Home Cozying, and Small-Town Charm 🍂

Hi Reader, I hope you're enjoying gorgeous fall weather wherever this note finds you! It's been a while since my last letter as I adjust to being back in college in-person full time, which has been a transition. I often find myself as the oldest student in the room, which is humbling at times— for example, a classmate off-handedly referred to a 30-year-old as an "old person" the other day 🫠. However, I've also realized that I appreciate education more that I did when I was the traditional age...

Before the Finish Line: Why Celebrating Small Wins Matters ✨

Hi Reader, As we dive into August, it’s a great time to pause and reflect on our goals for the year. For me, this month has been a wake-up call about the importance of balancing ambition with self-compassion. I recently accepted that I’m not going to read one hundred books this year. It’s an ambitious goal I’ve set for myself and achieved for the past two years, but this year, I can already tell I'm not on pace. Initially, this realization was met with shame and disappointment with myself....

Renovation Adventures Up Ahead! ⚠️🏡

Hi Reader, Time sure does fly, doesn't it? Thinking back on our journey of turning this house into our cozy abode over the past few years here in New Hampshire, I can't help but feel a wave of excitement for what's ahead. Living through renovations has its own rhythm, from the initial buzz of clearing out rooms to make space for transformation to the satisfaction of seeing each project come together. After living in a renovation zone at our previous home for what felt like forever, settling...

Literary Abodes: Discover Your Dream Home from the Pages of Your Favorite Books 📚 ✨

Hi Reader, Have you ever lost yourself in the pages of a book, only to find a piece of yourself within its world? Beyond the captivating plots and complex characters, the settings—especially the houses—play a pivotal role in bringing these tales to life. From the gothic allure of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights to the cozy, hobbit-sized comforts of Bag End in The Hobbit, each home is as unique as the story itself. That's why I've created this quiz, which determines which famous literary...

Unlock New England's Charm: Quintessential Elements of N.E. Home Styles 🏡

Hi Reader, I just updated a blog post from 2017 that's super close to my heart, all about the different architectural styles of New England homes. Honestly, it's one of my favorites because it's packed with anecdotes about the region I call home. If you're planning to give your space a little facelift, geek out on history, or just dig beautiful homes, I think you're gonna like this one! To me, our homes are more than just spots to live – they're our personal hideaways, filled with our...
