My Style: My home style is beachy New England with Nordic influences. It sort of reflects my personal style which is preppy, minimalist, casual.

Inspiration: Coastal beach cottages and Nordic homes

What are your favorite products you have bought for your home and why? I love our Sixpenny furniture, it’s all so comfy and practical with the removable slipcovers which is so crucial with pets. I also really love our Cafe Appliances. They totally transformed the look and feel of our kitchen.

Biggest Challenge: This was the first home we bought and we did all the renovations ourselves. It was a big learning process. We had a very small budget to work with on all of our projects and really tried to maximize our efforts by spending on materials instead of labor. Our house is small and it’s an open layout, but we managed to make it feel spacious and still cozy.

Proudest DIY: Converting our garage to a bedroom/bathroom

Favorite Element: Our deck and backyard

Biggest Indulgence: Our mahogany deck and cedar pergola was a big investment with materials and it was 1000 percent worth it.

Is there something unique about your home or the way you use it? Definitely converting the garage to a bedroom/bathroom.

Please describe any helpful, inspiring, brilliant, or just plain useful small space maximizing and/or organizing tips you have: Think outside the box with spaces in your house. Everyone thought getting rid of our garage was a bad idea, but we didn’t even use it. It was a massive space that we knew had tons of potential besides storing surfboards and bikes. We got a small shed for storage and ended up getting an additional bedroom and bathroom using existing square footage in our home.

Finally, what’s your absolute best home secret or decorating advice? Don’t be afraid to try things. We’ve painted, an re-painted. We’ve added tile backsplash and tried wallpaper. There’s plenty you can do on your own without spending a ton of money. If you don’t like it, you can do something else!
