Katie’s Adobe-Style Arizona Home

Name: Katie Runyan Location: Phoenix Homesteads Neighborhood, Phoenix, Arizona Our home is an adobe style built in 1937. The original thick concrete walls with rounded corners and high ceilings keep things cooler in the summer. We’re both from back east so the combination of history and greenery of the neighborhood instantly won us over. When we were house hunting this was the first house we saw and we knew instantly that we should make an offer.

Before & After: A Heavy, Outdated Dining Table Turns Sleek and Modern

Have you ever spotted an absolute steal on Craigslist — except for it being the complete opposite of your style? Nichol saw this table for $50, but before even leaving the house she took the legs off and left them with the original owner (along with the chunky chairs). There were other plans! From Nichol: Thank you Nichol!
