Although I still have quite a bit of work in my own home, I’ll be spending the next month re-decorating the living room of my sweet friend, Betsy. After all, sometimes you just need a breather from your own space, yes?

I’ll be partnering with Sherwin Williams and my favorite HGTV family to turn the below living space and loft into a calming getaway (using only paint colors from the new HGTV_® HOME by Sherwin-Williams line!).

It’s been like, eons, since I’ve posted a renovation update. Between moving and nesting and celebrating, I’ve been lax with taking photos and documenting our progress.

So, in an effort to keep you informed, I’ve created a little page of all of the progress we’ve made since we started. There are quite a few holes in my story where I was much too stressed out to document (i.e. moving beams in our attic, leveling floors, moving bathrooms and changing the floor plan entirely — and the list goes on!), but the bulk of the big changes are there.

Enjoy!

Husband revealed the big surprise yesterday on HGTV.com. Go see! Now!

And for those of you who can’t watch the video b/c you’re overseas, you’ll have to just come visit my house to see it in person. ;)

You know you’re dying to see it, yes? We’re still pretty heavy into the construction phase, but it’s coming along swimmingly. Wanna see? Do you? Good.

Hop on over to HGTV for the full scoop!

Speaking of hopping over, I’m jet-setting out to NYC for Fashion Week tomorrow, so I’ll have approximately zero updates for you in the renovation department. In fact, I won’t even be thinking about housing structures.

Unless, of course, we’re talking structured blazers. Yum.

See you next week!

Big news, dear readers! HGTV has caught wind of our tiny little renovation diary over here and will be joining the fun! Every Wednesday, check out Design Happens, where Husband and I will be posting videos, photos and more tracking the progress of our lovely little abode.

The first post is up (be kind!) right here.

And don’t worry; I’ll still be updating this space daily with fun ideas (more with a design-slant, of course, as I know construction bores you to tears…)!

Until then, enjoy your weekend! We have quite a bit of work to do (as you’ll see in the vid!)…
