I’ve been looking ahead to new projects around the house, but before diving into what’s next I like to pause and appreciate how much has already been accomplished. We’ve lived here five years, and bit by bit the house is becoming a home I truly enjoy. Below I’m sharing a collection of noteworthy projects from the past few years — a helpful roundup for new readers and a lovely reminder for regulars. I still have plenty to do, but it’s satisfying to see the progress and how rooms have evolved.
Note: I curated a Joss & Main sale that ran starting on Tax Day. If you follow my work and like curated collections, keep an eye out for future sales and roundups. Enjoy browsing the projects below.

Each of these projects includes photos, ideas, and practical tips that helped shape the rooms as they are now. If you’re working on your own home, these posts can offer inspiration—whether you’re tackling a major remodel or making small, meaningful updates.
Favorite small updates that made a big difference: styling open kitchen shelves for a cohesive look, adding practical organization in the pantry, and layering lighting to create a warm atmosphere. Larger projects that transformed the home include the kitchen remodel, built-in shelving around the fireplace, and refinishing entry details to improve both function and curb appeal.
I enjoy sharing the process because it shows how gradual changes add up. Rooms evolve through a series of decisions—paint choices, sourced furniture, DIY touches, and organizational fixes. Sometimes a simple swap, like a new lamp or rearranged furnishings, refreshes a space immediately. Other times a big project, like a remodel, sets the foundation for future decor and daily enjoyment.
If you’re new here, welcome — exploring these posts will give you a sense of the style and practical approach I take: thoughtful, homey, and focused on livability. For long-time readers, this roundup is a quick way to revisit favorites and catch up on progress you might have missed.
Thanks for taking a look around my home’s evolution. I’ll keep sharing updates as new projects unfold — small changes and big transformations alike. If you try any of these ideas in your own space, I’d love to hear how they work for you.
