Perhaps to make sense of why the hubs and I are so darn happy with our office in it’s current state, it might make sense to look back. Like, way back. Originally housing a fold out futon, it was meant simply as a guest room and nothing else. The honey wood (and matching pillows, really?) […]

Renee’s Bedroom Redo: Part 3
You know what they say. Sometimes you really need to make a mess to clean that mess. And Renee’s bedroom was no exception. (Just check out parts one and two). Now, I say “mess” with love. Not that her room was messy, rather, it really just needed some good ol’ elbow grease. And grease it […]

Renee’s Living Room Redo: Part 1
Miss Renee is not only a very good friend of ours, but she’s also the reason why Yellow Brick Home exists. One night over a few glasses of wine, she declared that we absolutely positively should share our home ideas with the world. “You should start a blog,” she said. It wasn’t until she said […]
