Among the Trees

—Warning! This May Cause Serious Adult Treehouse Envy —

Last year, my Mom told my Dad she wanted a treehouse made of all antique windows up high in the trees. My Dad, being the logical man he is, immediately came up with every reason why this sounded like a bad idea - Up high? Alll old windows? How big? How much is this going to cost? Etc. However, being the good guy he never stopped working behind the scenes to make it a reality.

My husband hooked my Dad up with one of his friends - Durwin Sauer. He’s an amazing carpenter and owner of Cutting Edge Construction. Plans were drawn up and materials were sourced all over Iowa. Old telephone poles hold up the structure, railroad ties help frame it out and the antique windows create a charactered wall of glass open to nature. Her dream became an reality and she’s had her sanctuary among the trees since late last Fall.

Special thanks to my Dad and Durwin for making this a reality. My Dad spends just as much time as my momma out there. Plus, friends and family love a glass of wine or two out there too :)

Hope you enjoy this just as much as we do. Adult treehouse for the 2020 win :)

Behind the Design: A Dreamy Mid-Mod Makeover

Hello again!

We have been super busy this week working on really fun projects to fill you guys in on. Last week we wrapped up a design project from the beginning of the year (now seems like ages ago). While we love doing flips, we truly enjoy working one-on-one with clients designing their dream spaces!

Our client for this project was not afraid of color, which was great for us since we love to use color palettes that are impactful and make the space pop.

Before:

The goal for this design was to make the space feel modern and updated, while introducing a few fun mid-mod pieces. We also wanted to ensure that the furnishings and accents came together and felt relaxed and comfy while still appearing stylish and curated.
