In this house, the blue-tinted granite counters and glass backsplash were non-negotiable but challenging. Instead of tearing off the glass tiles, I leaned into the blue vein theme. By adding a fresh coat of matching blue the lower cabinets, installing a wallpaper with the same hue on a kitchen wall, and painting the exterior window sashes blue, the vibe became 1990s J.Crew.

Chris and I got the nod from the church to revive a property in serious need of TLC

With a lean $15K budget, we tackled much of the interior work ourselves. The house was wrapped in plastic to handle potential lead paint, then got a fresh coat inside and out. Our crew repaired siding, refinished floors, replaced doors, rehabbed window sills, and skim-coated the basement. New lights? Check. Minor electrical fixes? Done. Yard cleanup? Good bye blackberries. Bonus: my kid worked for burgers and fries.

Cucumber Baby strutted onto the market, turned heads, and soared past asking price. Every penny, every decision, and every ounce of elbow grease paid off—big time.

These sellers saw the soul of their home and decided to roll up their sleeves and revive it themselves. They tackled a new roof, fresh exterior paint, an egress window, rebuilt front steps, and even launched into a DIY kitchen overhaul. After months of sweat, tears, and maybe a few choice words, they’d reached the end of their energy. The progress was real—but the finish line was still a ways off. That’s when they called Chris and me to help carry the interior across the finish line. With fresh ideas and a second wind, we all became one big house team.

I believe a home should be a reflection of what comforts and uplifts you, a place that holds your story.

When I design a space, I see a house as a book—each room a chapter, each detail a passage that shapes the narrative of your life. What are the moments, memories, and inspirations that define you? Through color, texture, and the dance of light, you weave those memories into the fabric of your home. Every choice—bold or subtle—becomes a thread in your personal tapestry.

Fast forward to 2024: Matt decided it was time to trade Portland’s hip vibes for grandbaby giggles and family hugs. “Can you help me whip the house into shape to sell? Oh, and I’ve got a few projects lined up,” he said with a grin that promised more than a few. With funds on the tight side, we rolled up our sleeves and got to work—team DIY, style.
