Can’t wait to see the the “durings” and “afters” next… I love watching the transformation of spaces take place!!! (Still can’t quite figure out which neighborhood this is…and I’ve lived in this town for 38 years!!!LOL! I’ve been trying to put your clues together, so I have a couple of ideas!)
Haha… I bet you know several of my neighbors Karen. It’s a popular street. :D Thanks for taking a peek… Isn’t it so much more fun watching others go through this misery? ;) Me and my grand ideas… Lol
Thank you! I’m trying but it definitely helps to surround myself with a great team. I know what I like but I don’t always know how to get there if that makes sense? So many incredibly talented people out there. I love this supportive community. Hugs! xo
Kristy I can just picture the amazing after already with your vision! I can not wait to go on this journey with you through your blog and see your transition. I know this is the perfect next step and I am here cheering you on sweet friend!
Thanks so much Bree!!! Now maybe I can get back on track with everything. I’ve been so distracted with everything going on… Hugs and just know how much your support means to me! xoxo
Um, how exciting is this?!? I always have my eye out on the real estate listings – especially now that our house is getting close to being “done”. So fun to start over with a blank slate!
I can’t wait Krista! Sooo excited to begin. :) I’ll be blogging about all my choices and decisions beginning tomorrow. I’ve been running around like a maniac! Lol
Omg, I live in Livermore- how funny, what a small world. I just happened to find you via other IG designers I follow (who aren’t local). I can’t wait to see your home after the renovations and how awesome to know of some good contractors in the area. Keep us posted!
Hi Amy! How ironic! My husband’s mom is also a McCarthy (from Bakersfield) too… His cousin is the Majority Leader, Kevin McCarthy. :) Maybe we are related? ;) Thanks so much for your sweet support! Hugs! xoxo
Hey, Kristy! Didn’t know another way of contacting you. This is a comment about the door into your bathroom. As someone who DOESN’T get up as early as my husband (5 am), I don’t want all that light shining on me while trying to sleep. Are you trying to get more light into the bathroom? I would add a solar tube. I do love watching you go through the process. Thanks for sharing. I’m a California Girl living in Texas.
Hi Catherine,
I just love having a glass door in my bedroom. :) I do have windows in the bathroom but any extra light is welcome. Funny that your husband wakes at 5am… so does mine! It never bothers me however as I have been a Flight Attendant for 20 years and I think I’m just used to light coming in the hotel bedrooms. Love your idea of adding a solar tube… I had thought of that before but haven’t approached my contractor about it. I’ll have to check into that. ;) Hugs!
Hi kristy, is your kitchen designer yvonne king still performing design work? If so, can you share how to reach her or if not, do you have any other recommendations?
Hi Leonela, Not sure if she is still designing or not.. My friend Nicole from Danville, http://www.eyeforpretty.com is amazing as well. Love her style. :)
Wow, wow, wow!!! I am amazed at the vision you and Jeff had for your home and just how beautiful it looks now. All kudos to you both.
What is your climate like to keep those plants so healthy? Colour me green!
Hugs from New zEaland….
Thanks so much Colleen! Living in our area we are able to grown almost anything although it can get quite hot during the summer time. We’re in the valley with 90-100 degree temps. I take care of everything but purposely chose each plant specifically for my climate etc.
Wow!!! What a difference .. in every room! Your stairway is so beautiful! ? It’s nice to have contractors that know what they are doing. I renovated my childhood home. The contractor I got did me so wrong. I was alone and very uneducated in how not to be taken for a ride. Oh well, we learn by experience! ??♀️
Wow!! Amazing transformation- the back yard if’s the most transformed!! How could you have seen all that beauty you have now!! Even the front of the house!! Sooooo impressive- great job!! Love your home!
Kristy, your house is so beautiful now! It is so different and beautiful. I can’t wait for the side by side pictures. You have a great eye for remodeling and decorating. I love it. If you ever what to remodel another house… you can do mine.
Hi Kristy I stumbled upon your Insta acc one day and loved it ever since. I am truly inspired by what you do. You are so inspirational. Sometimes when I’m feeling blue I pop onto your daily videos and it truly makes me so calm. I too love beautiful interiors that are homey and you manage to do just that. I just read in your comments that you know what you want and also know who to go to to get that…. that really made my day because that’s me 100% ?. I am so ready to do some redecorating myself after this long lockdown. Much love from South Africa ?
I absolutely LOVE how you have designed and landscaped your front and back yard!! How did you go about doing this? This is exactly my style. Do you go through a landscape designer to plan your layout?
