All the kitchen selections have officially been decided and it is going to be GOOD! I have been studying kitchens for years. Everything from what the cabinet faces look like, how thick the counters are, the colors of the cabinets, wood vs painted, how to make it classic but not dated, the hardware…everything! It was […]

I am so close to getting all the “big” stuff ordered for the GBOGH house and one of the last things I need to figure out is the wallpaper selections. I know, I know…wallpaper when you’re selling the house?! Maybe it’s not the most practical thing to do but I am really trying to make […]

WE HAVE DRYWALL!! This went from a home, to a house, and we’re back at it feeling like a home again!! The first time I walked into this home with the drywall installed, I may have shed a tear or two ;). Really though, this is a huge step and now that the windows are […]

BSL had a big week last week…we bought a house!!! We’ve named this house “Go Big or Go Home”. Fitting, right?! This has been a dream of mine from the very beginning of starting this website. I always knew that the end goal of BSL was to become a design resource for people moving into dorm […]
