Hi there

We’re Elizabeth and Lindsay—two sisters who love houses, from fixer uppers to new construction and everything in between (including buildings that aren’t quite houses yet, but could be one day). Our goal is to create attainable style that captures the character and individuality of each house. Although we love a good before and after as much as the next person, we’ve developed a passion for the process. Follow along with us as we tackle renovation projects, share affordable design finds, and appreciate all things home.
