It’s cabin season!
Comment ‘CABIN’ for the full Vermont River Cabin design.
If you are at all like me you start pinning all the cozy cabin interiors every winter! Seriously, each year, I dream of a log cabin full of character and coziness.
There’s a reason Ralph Lauren’s rustic style is so sought after. It’s not just about the items. It is the stories layered together. Worn wood next to clean linen, a quiet lamp beside a stack of books, a piece that looks like it belonged to someone before you. That feeling of home is what we were chasing here.
Today on the blog, we will be diving into the details of how to bring this to life.❤️❤️

If you’re new here, welcome. If you’ve been here awhile, thank you.
Here’s a little reintroduction and a few of my favorite things!
Hard to believe we drove to Tennessee just about a month ago. Then slipped back to Oregon for installs while Derrick stayed and wrestled with dust and demo. It feels strange to sort of be in two places at once. Suitcase half-unpacked and notes on grout colors scribbled on receipts, trying to share our home journey from across the country...
People keep saying we’re living the dream and I hear that. It’s the dream we talked about for years. I don’t know if it’s “working” yet, but it feels like forward motion and I’m proud of us for jumping.
We’ve been out exploring whenever we can. New coffee shops, vintage stores, back roads, meeting people (The invisible string is real here. We keep meeting people with Oregon stories, and it’s giving me peace of mind) trying to find our spots. It’s messy and busy and there’s so much housework that “slowing down” isn’t really on the menu, but starting to see light at the end of the tunnel.
All this to say, starting over is scary. Putting yourself out there in a new place and building a business within a new market comes with a lot of unknowns. But I wanted a life that felt more authentic to us and I can feel us inching toward it, one project at a time. It’s not perfect yet. But I’ll take it!

We’ve been deep in the demo phase at the Sixth Street Bungalow, and it’s been both messy and motivating. This upstairs bathroom has kept us on our toes. We’ve re-routed plumbing, reworked the layout, and looked for every possible way to make the most of this space.
Design-wise, it’s a balance of old and new. Classic materials, warm finishes, and soft neutrals that bring a sense of history back into a house that’s been through so many hands. It’s the part of the process that doesn’t always look pretty, but it’s where the good stuff starts to take shape.
This first part of the renovation is coming together, slowly but surely. I can already picture the light hitting that tile in the morning.
