Beach House Renovation: Before and After photos

 

This beach house renovation is taking so much longer than we had first anticipated.

If you follow my stories on Instagram, then you know the main reason for the delay is due to the original contractor. I don’t want to get into the details on what he did, or didn’t do…but the good news is – we have a great new contractor on the job now.

Things are finally moving in the right direction!

So, today I’d thought I’d share some of the progress in a few before and afters.

As you can see, the kitchen is really coming together. In fact the whole first floor is dramatically different. We opened it all up to create one large living space, perfect for a beach house.

The prior layout was very choppy and broken up and didn’t allow for a lot of natural light or take advantage of the lovely view.

In addition to the large first floor living space we then added a wall to the front door stairs area in order to create a small front door foyer area.

This new wall will also allow for a tv to hang on the wall on the opposite side, which is nice because now we don’t have to hang it over the fireplace in the living room.

Weekend Wrap Up

Happy Friday! I really don’t want to leave the house until spring – but we have a few low key plans to see friends this weekend, so I’ll be bundling up and whining (and wine-ing.) Cheers! Have a good one.

Brand Love: Quadrille Fabric and Wallpaper

Quadrille fabric and wallpaper, a long time favorite home resource of mine…can’t believe I haven’t done a whole post on this before today!

Quadrille Fabric and Wallpaper

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is about the wallpaper in our blue and white bathroom.

I’m always happy to answer these questions!

The wallpaper is by Quadrillle Fabrics and the print is Sigourney.

This particular navy color only comes in a fabric, but we had Quadrille custom run it in a wallpaper for this room.

The Quadrille showroom is only to the trade, however, I’ve ordered through this Etsy vendor several times – she carries so many designer fabrics and wallpapers.

Including Sigourney, which is the name of the blue and white print in bathroom above.

You can find all the sources for our blue and white bath here.

Quadrille is one of my all time favorite resources for wallpaper and fabrics.

In fact, I have several other Quadrille fabrics and wallpapers in my home.

Since I get so many questions about all of them, it recently occurred to me to group these all together in a post.

Because I’m such a big fan of these prints, whenever I need to consider a fabric or wallpaper I always take a look at Quadrille’s selection on their site.

Just like knowing your favorite clothing designers and brands can help to narrow down wardrobe decisions, having a few choice brands to turn to for your home can be just as helpful.

While Quadrille is “to the trade” only, you can find so many fabulous ideas on the site.

Once you know the name of the print and color you like, you can search for it from other sources.
