This house is probably one of my favorites to date! It’s located steps away from beautiful Patterson Park near Canton in Baltimore city. We put a two story roof deck on for maximum city views and hosting party pleasure. And there’s 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a beautiful kitchen with lots of storage and a large island! Plus it’s a historical renovation so we kept all the beautiful window transoms, some original tile and original hardware floors. Everything new we added to have the same period feel of this 100+ year old row-home. It’s a gorgeous transformation and I just love seeing my visions come to fruition. Someone is going to be really happy in this home for hopefully a long time! Here’s some before and after pictures:

Exterior: Left is before picture, right is after custom door, tore down the old bay window siding and installed custom picture frame molding, replaced light, house numbers and mailbox.

Kitchen: All new cabinets, contrast island painted in Benjamin Moore Hale Navy, brass hardware, globe pendants, chevron back-splash, quartz countertops, refinished hardwood floors and new appliances.

Bathrooms (2 of 3 shown): The upstairs had one very stinky, very dated bathroom, we tore it out and in it’s “place” put in two beautiful bathrooms so that the master bedroom would have an en suite and then there would be a bathroom in the hallway too.

Here in Maryland we’ve had a lot of rain through-out April, May and June so now that summer is here we can finally go outside! Our screened in porch is an area we use a lot, we entertain, we have drinks, snacks and meals, we play and snuggle. I updated it some this year with some new accessories and I thought I’d share some sources in case anyone is looking for affordable updates for their outdoor space.

Pillows – Target & Homegoods

Rug, plant stand, beverage tub (aqua), and outdoor candle holder – Target

White end table and latern – Homegoods

Teak server with galvanized top – Pottery Barn

Plant stand/end table – Pier 1

Guys, these transformations never get old! Anyone else love a good before and after story? I’m sharing our latest project, a whole house renovation in the Patterson Park neighborhood of Baltimore city. What this house lacks in square footage it has in charm! The exterior is gorgeous – we had to remove the awnings, take down the form stone, the brick underneath was repointed, we replaced the windows, replaced the door and painted it Bold Blue by Benjamin Moore, updated the light fixture and repaired the corbel. See before and after pics:

The rest of the house was transformed as well, hardwood floors refinished, more brick repointed, new stairs and railings, drywall, light fixtures, new interior windows, new kitchen, granite counters, new bathrooms (3 full baths). Check out all the before and after pics here side by side so you get a real feel for the transformed spaces:

Since this wasn’t a large house I used the same paint color through-out, Agreeable Gray by Sherwin Williams and trim is White Dove by Benjamin Moore. Floor stain is dark walnut. Here are some bathroom pictures:

This week we wrapped up a gorgeous row home on South Lehigh Street in the great city of Baltimore. This house is such a labor of love that I will be almost sad to see it go but excited for whomever ends up buying this beauty. The condition of this house when we purchased it was bad to say the least, it was run-down, partly torn down and abandoned…and we swooped in and restored it! We took down so much plaster and re-pointed the brick and it turned out so nice, the brick almost looks brand-new. The kitchen is huge, especially for a small row-house in the city with a 7′ island! I could go on because of course I love everything we designed and built but instead I’ll share some of the amazing before and after pictures with you:

Here’s a recent renovation property we flipped, it’s a 3 bedroom, 2 bath rowhome in Baltimore. Originally only a 2 bedroom and one bath home so we added a full bath as well as a third bathroom. This house had gorgeous pine floors that just needed to be touched up and refinished, it also had pretty exposed beams that we decided to leave exposed. Keeping with those finishes, we decided to do a decorative tin ceiling in the kitchen which I think turned out gorgeous and we used a tile flooring in the kitchen that looks like rustic wood. Overall, the home has a modern-industrial feel and I just love the way it turned out.

I’ve had a few questions lately on my paint color choices so I thought I’d highlight some of my favorite colors for you. Generally, I lean towards Benjamin Moore because they have such an extensive selection and I happen to love all the blue/green/grays (in a way that makes it harder to just choose one). These colors are considered the new neutral because they work so well with all tones of wood and many fabrics and accent colors. So here you go, some of my favorites:

Coventry Gray HC-169

I love this deep shade of gray, for a house that has a lot of light it looks rich and gorgeous without being too dark. If you have less light, I would go up a shade to Stonington Gray Gray HC-170.

Woodlawn Blue HC-147

This blue/green color is a beautiful option for a bathroom or bedroom. Pairs nicely with tans or grays.

Edgecomb Gray

This warm shade I would say is more tan than gray, but is a great neutral color.

Gray Owl OC-52

I really like this gray, there is a little tan undertone to it so it can be paired with warm or cool finishes. It’s a perfect choice to use with a kitchen that has stainless steel appliances.

Wedgewood Gray HC-146

This is one of my personal favorites and is used in 2 rooms in my home, it’s a gorgeous, rich combination of blue, gray and green. It’s part of Benjamin Moore’s historical collection so I like to think of it as a classic color, always in style.

Smoke 2122-40

Another beautiful paint color I love and have in my home is Smoke, it’s a perfect blend of blue and gray, there is also a lighter version Pale Smoke 1584 which is a great option for any room in your home.

Happy painting! Painting a room can change it dramatically and it’s an easy and affordable option.

What do home renovation enthusiasts do when there aren’t any projects left to do on their home? Well I guess we could move, but we’re just not ready for that yet so we took the plunge and started a company! The official company website is klrdevelopment.com however I figured what better place to show the actual rehab before and after photos than my blog. So without further delay, here’s a gorgeous home that recently sold in less than a week and took about a year to complete. I am equally obsessed with this kitchen – the size, the island, all those cabinets! – as well as the master bath – the shiplap, that huge walk in shower, the tiles, the vanity space! I also staged the home to define the spaces, given it’s such an open floor plan.

It is a large, rancher-style home, very dated and very dark. The rooms were small and closed off and our plan was to open it up and lighten it up to really showcase how big this house is and how much beautiful potential it has. So here you go, in no certain order because there are so many before pictures…

And here’s how it looks now completed and beautiful…

Gray Owl by Benjamin Moore

Kitchen with Gray Owl

For paint colors we used Benjamin Moore gray owl and white dove. The lighting all came from Wayfair, and we used quartz in the kitchen for countertops. Now on to the next project!

That’s a wrap.

For now our home is complete, there’s always something to redecorate and we’re thinking of moving the boys into the same room shortly so I’ll have fun with that but for now I think it’s a wrap on renovation projects. I thought I’d conclude with a photo gallery of where we are now, almost 3 years into this house.

Now, we can focus on renovation projects outside of our personal home…stay tuned!

Completing our home

November 13, 2016June 2, 2017 Kasee@faucetsandfacelifts1 Comment

After 2 years in this house there isn’t much left to do, one of the most recent projects my husband completed is adding to the front of our home a small roof over the front door giving the house some dimension and providing us a covered entrance-way (perfect for those rainy days when I’m carrying in two kids and all their stuff after school). Here’s the before and after pictures of our home-and here’s the original post on transforming the exterior of this once run-down home. Thanks for following us on this journey!

Porch Paradise

January 3, 2016 Kasee@faucetsandfaceliftsLeave a comment

A project my husband completed before the holidays was the screened in porch. It’s the perfect space to hang out with family and friends without the worry of mosquitoes attacking our babies or flies getting to our food. Adding the small sectional and extra chairs/rocker has also increased our living space, it’s nice to play out there with the kids or when they are napping take a book out.

If you recognize the rug – it was an indoor/outdoor one that I had in our living room. Moving it out to the porch gave me the perfect reason to take advantage of a rug sale at Pottery Barn.

Mason’s Nursery

September 21, 2015January 3, 2016 Kasee@faucetsandfaceliftsLeave a comment

One room I haven’t shared yet is Mason’s nursery. This room didn’t require a lot of renovation – the gross, dirty carpet was ripped out and the hardwood floors were stained and refinished. Both the walls and ceilings were painted. Before baby #2 came along we used this room as a guest room, it’s rather large for a nursery but Brady didn’t want to switch rooms (a decision he’ll probably regret when he realizes his younger brother has a larger room than he does) and it also has two closets which is awesome. Paint color is Stonington Gray by Benjamin Moore. The dresser, desk and rocker are from Gardiners Furniture, the rug is Surya, and the black-out curtains, linens and mirror are Pottery Barn Kids. Here’s a few pics of the nursery now and the before from when we bought the house:

Backyard Overhaul

July 13, 2015July 13, 2015 Kasee@faucetsandfaceliftsLeave a comment

Until I had kids, I had no idea just how much time can be spent in the backyard! One of the first things we did is finish the fencing along our yard to close in the space. We had fences on all sides so this was a pretty easy and inexpensive job (of course I say it was easy because I wasn’t the one digging the holes, haha). The backyard didn’t have much appeal, it was overgrown with giant shrubbery and bushes/trees so we (should probably say “he” there too) ripped out all the existing growth and created new gardens around the porch and down the side of the fence. Gavin, and his little helper, built a really cute shed for the corner of the yard so we could reclaim our back porch from all the toys. Still on the to-do list for the backyard is to screen in the porch because I love eating outside but HATE the bugs and Gavin wants to create a fire pit area.

Here’s the before and after pics:

Achieving curb appeal

June 15, 2015July 13, 2015 Kasee@faucetsandfaceliftsLeave a comment

In one of my very first blog posts (read it here) I talked about the lack of curb appeal our home had when we bought it. We had quite the to-do list and we’re finally wrapping it up. We’ve added shutters, painted the front door, overhauled the landscaping, changed out the light sconces and the mailbox and painted the garage. Still on the list is get a new storm door with a full panel glass insert, update the trim/moldings around the front door and widen the driveway.

For the front door, I painted it Charlotte Slate by Benjamin Moore. I wanted something that would stand out while still coordinate with black shutters and red brick that also had a traditional feel.

Here’s a reminder of what it looked like when we bought it:

And here’s what it looks like now:

Bathroom Rehab

May 19, 2015 Kasee@faucetsandfaceliftsLeave a comment

Continuing the basement renovation meant rehabbing the second full bathroom – fortunately, all the important elements were there which made it easier to complete. I knew I wanted to do a board and batten on the walls and use travertine in the shower so after that there wasn’t much to decide on except paint color. Since we had some leftover from our bedroom reno, we went with Benjamin Moore Smoke on the top half of the walls and painted the board and batten the same color White Dove which we used through-out the house on the trim. Gavin made all the board and batten trim by hand and installed all of the tile in the shower and I just love how it turned out. We ordered a glass shower door which is in but not installed yet but this way I can share a better picture of the tile work without the door on.

Basement Reno

May 19, 2015October 14, 2015 Kasee@faucetsandfaceliftsLeave a comment

It’s been awhile since I posted a renovation project but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy – in addition to renovating the basement and a second bathroom, we had our second little boy! Brady’s room is now a big boy room and Mason’s nursery is almost finished. Additionally we’ve been tackling outside projects like landscaping which I’ll share soon.

The basement renovation has been a game changer in our house – it’s so nice to have a designated toy area for starters! My husband designed a lay-out that would give us a living room area for us to relax and for kids to play, a laundry room, storage closets and a full bathroom. We decided to keep the exposed beam ceiling open because we loved the rustic feel and it makes the basement feel more open and airy. For paint color, we went with Sherwin-Williams Heron Plume because it’s a cool white with a hint of gray to it so it doesn’t overwhelm the small living room space. For lighting, to keep with the industrial/rustic feel we used antique bronze track lights. From the attic renovation, Gavin saved original wood planks that we then incorporated into the design. The hand railing and trim around the inside window cases is all planks of this reclaimed wood. Additionally, Gavin made shelving units under our television from two planks. Here’s the before and after pictures of our amazing basement renovation (all the praise really belongs to my husband on this one!):

Dining Room Update

September 9, 2014May 19, 2015 Kasee@faucetsandfaceliftsLeave a comment

When I originally shared our dining room with you in the post titled Rustic Dining, I had mentioned we were working on built-in pantry cabinets. Well my talented husband has finished those up and they came out beautifully! Since we have a radiator below the window that we couldn’t close in, Gavin decided to make it into a server connecting the base cabinets and wine fridge with a butcher block top. It’s perfect for entertaining and our pantry cabinets hold all the overflow food, pots, pans, etc that the kitchen couldn’t fit. Here’s the pictures:

Living Room

September 7, 2014February 18, 2016 Kasee@faucetsandfacelifts4 Comments

Like most families, our living room is the place we spend the most time. Until our basement is finished, all of Brady’s toys are in here. One of the first features that drew me to this room when we looked at this house is all the natural light. The other thing I like is how large the room is. Here’s the rundown of renovations: the old carpet was pulled up and the floors were refinished; the mirror and light fixtures above the fireplace were removed and replaced; everything got fresh paint (we went with Benjamin Moore Wedgewood Gray on walls & White Dove on the trim/molding/fireplace/built-ins); windows got wood blinds to let all the natural light in but still provide privacy; new baseboards; and crown molding. However, the biggest addition to this space is the built-in media cabinets/bookcases. I wanted to use the space above our fireplace mantel for decor and not a TV so instead Gavin built bookcase/cabinet style built-ins on both sides of the door that leads to our porch (a screened-in porch hopefully one day but that’s another project for another day). Our television is on a swivel so it can pull out turn on an angle for optimum viewing. I love how the built-ins turned out and they really add a wow-factor to this room. Another one of Gavin’s projects was turning an old, reclaimed wood beam into a picture ledge for above our sofa. I love it!

Here’s some of the before pics:

Master Bedroom

August 29, 2014November 13, 2016 Kasee@faucetsandfaceliftsLeave a comment

This is one space of our house that needed very little renovation work (sigh of relief from my husband). Carpeting was removed, hardwood floors refinished, ceiling fan added and trim and paint. The very first color I choose when agonizing over hundreds of paint swatches in the Benjamin Moore showroom was Smoke. To me, it is the quintessential blue-gray shade that represents peace and relaxation. I just knew I had to use it in our bedroom. It’s got less green in it than the colors I used downstairs in our kitchen & dining room but still works well with the color palette for this home (read more about those colors here, here & here).

Our bedroom is rather large so we decided to upgrade to a king size bed. We also bought some new bedroom furniture. I’ve been in love with a tufted linen bed for awhile so we splurged to get that, along with some almost black night stands, dresser & mirror because I like the contrast between the linen bed and the darker case pieces. The furniture was the easy part, the hard part was finding the right duvet cover. In my mind, I knew what I was looking for, but either it was too overpriced or the wrong shades of blue. Finally, this duvet I was stalking at West Elm went on sale!

Our bedroom is finally coming together. We hung reclaimed solid oak shelves Gavin made along a large open wall, displayed with an accent chair & garden stool found at Marshall’s to create a seating area. We added wood blinds to the windows through-out the house because they provide privacy but still let in so much natural light.

Here are the before pics (sorry, not the best pics):

Here’s our current bedroom:

Bathroom Overhaul

August 6, 2014May 20, 2015 Kasee@faucetsandfacelifts2 Comments

Like many houses built in the 1940’s, our home has only two full bathrooms. Our main bathroom is upstairs on the same floor as our bedrooms and the other full bathroom is in the basement. The bathroom upstairs was tiny so part of our renovation was to enlarge it. Gavin used the space that was occupied by the closet in our nursery (read more about that here) to give us more square footage in our bathroom. We were able to upgrade to a larger vanity which is so nice for us to share the space in the mornings. We left the toilet in the same place but bought a new one, keeping the styling traditional to match the bathtub which is original. The flooring was replaced with marble tile put down in a herringbone pattern and in the shower surround, we went with white subway tiles and a gray Moroccan print accent wall. Gavin also added an overhead rain shower spout and we changed out all the bathtub hardware to chrome fixtures that match the sink faucet. Behind the bathroom door, Gavin had to run a HVAC duct for our air conditioning we recently had installed. He creatively hide it with built in storage cubbies. Check out the before, during & after photos:

Converted Attic

July 14, 2014May 20, 2015 Kasee@faucetsandfacelifts1 Comment

Home today with a sick baby whose fortunately napping, I have the opportunity to update our reno blog. In one of the two larger bedrooms in our house, there was access to the walk-up attic inside of the tiny closet. We choose to make that the master bedroom so that we could convert the walk up attic into a walk-in closet. The attic was insulated, dry-walled, and had duct-work ran for A\C. Gavin installed recessed lighting and then it was painted and carpeted…I’m probably missing some stuff like how my husband built in access panels to get to valves and he probably had to install a sub-floor since it didn’t have that either. But you’re reading this for the before & after pics, right? So here they are:

Rustic Dining

June 9, 2014May 20, 2015 Kasee@faucetsandfaceliftsLeave a comment

I think our dining room is my favorite room in our home! Our old dining room set was a counter height 60″ square table with an espresso finish. In our old house it fit perfectly in our square dining room but when we bought this house I knew it wouldn’t work in our very long (20 foot) dining room so we sold it on Craigslist.

Side bar: how great is Craigslist?! We actually ended up selling quite a few furniture items before we moved and every one of our buyers was awesome, just really friendly, cool people. I’m glad our gently used furniture could go to great homes!

I get most of our furniture from Gardiners Furniture and I had been eyeing up this particular farmhouse style rustic table for a few months. I thought it would tie in well with our farmhouse sink and the sort of rustic/coastal/calming vibe I am trying to create in our home. Chairs were a tougher decision. Gavin wanted to go with wood because they wouldn’t stain easily (we do have an almost 2-yr old son) but I wanted to go with linen. Even though the Parson’s chairs weren’t Gavin’s first pick, I think he would agree they nicely compliment the table. I also purchased the flat-weave striped rug at Gardiners, the chandelier (a bit of a splurge but totally worth it!) and the mirror are from Pottery Barn. The antique map print was picked up at Su Casa and then custom-framed at Michaels. We choose to paint our dining room Wedgewood Gray by Benjamin Moore and I really like it even though it’s a little more blue than I originally anticipated.

Since our kitchen is on the smaller side, we really needed some extra storage space. We also wanted a server or some type of buffet in the dining room so we decided to do custom built-ins across the back wall. The cabinet part is completed and came out beautifully, Gavin built-in a spot for our wine fridge and used butcher’s block top from Ikea to create our “buffet”. Doors will be added to hide all our junk at some point but right now I’m just happy to have the additional storage space! Gavin also removed a door and created an open doorway between our kitchen and dining room.

Here’s the before pictures:

Here’s our current dining room:

In this shot you can see the full room with the built-in cabinetry. At this point, without the doors, it looks really busy since you can see all of our stuff in there but once the doors are on it will be gorgeous:

Paint Colors

June 6, 2014 Kasee@faucetsandfacelifts7 Comments

Choosing paint can be such a challenge – there are so many options! A lot of people have asked me what colors we painted certain rooms so I thought I’d share with you our whole first house color scheme and then our current house pallet so far…we still have a bathroom and a basement renovation that haven’t even began so I’ll add those colors to the chart once we’ve completed all the rooms.

Our first house: One day I’ll blog about this house renovation but for now I’ll just quickly explain that our first home we stumbled across when my father-in-law was asked to help refinish the floors to get it on the market. He told us about it and the rest is history. The floors were refinished but in the same warm oak they originally began. When we started our remodel, we carried the warmer tones into our two bathroom vanities and renovated the kitchen using cabinets with a medium brown finish and granite that also picked up those warm tones (Saint Cecelia). After looking at different paint swatches, I went with Martha Stewart paint. There was a lot of paint color options that were modern but warm which would compliment our house. I think it’s easier to select complimentary shades when using one manufacturer. Here’s our old color palette:

In our current house: Since we refinished the floors ourselves we decided to go with a darker stain this time around. I love the way the floors came out and their darker color means I could use a cool color palette. We decided on a kitchen and main bathroom with white cabinetry and marble tops accented with chrome & polished nickle hardware. For paint this time I saw a Benjamin Moore shade I loved (Smoke) and so following my “rule” of using coordinating shades from the same manufacturer, all of these paints we’ve used so far are from Benjamin Moore. Here’s our current color pallet:

Paint is the quickest & cheapest way to transform a room so take a chance and pick a color you like, if it doesn’t turn out the way you hoped you can always repaint it. Good luck!
