Trending Post: 7 Mid-Century Modern Kitchens That Inspired My Own
It’s a big day around here, because it’s room reveal day! Our farmhouse laundry room is completely finished…man it feels good to type that. Room reveals are my absolute favorite, not only because they mean I get to check another space off my to-do list, but also because I get to move onto a new…
I was almost finished writing my post about the painted shiplap in the laundry and mudroom when I realized I’ve never actually shared my plans for the laundry room. So let’s back up and dive into that before forging ahead with the makeover. As a reminder, here is the floorplan for the laundry room … About two…
Y’all. I won a washer and dryer. Won them. Me. I’m still in disbelief. I actually received them back in November and am just now posting about it (thanks to the second part of the title). Even though it’s been a few months I still ogle and caress them each time I start a huge load…
I do an insane amount of laundry. I have two potty training sons, so I could pretty much wash everything in the house on a daily basis. I wish I was kidding. The very first project we did in our house (besides painting over all the pink) was to make our laundry room functional and…
I love (LOVE!) before and after pictures. Our laundry room is the only room that is pretty much complete and I feel good about posting an ‘after’ picture. First, the before… The first thing to go was that awful paint color. I painted it a muted green, same as in our living room and guest/kids…
IT’S MUDROOM REVEAL DAY!! Let’s just skip the forced introductory paragraph and get right to the good stuff. Here she is! I don’t think I could love it more. It’s so satisfying to have a blank space and a vision, and then watch that vision actually come to life! From start to finish the mudroom…

The first project of 2018 is going to be the mudroom, and I don’t think I could be more excited about it. I’m ready. I’m ready for some storage and organization, ready for something new and pretty, and mostly just ready to have another finished room in the house. As a reminder, here is what…
Alright, time for the final part of the 2017 house tour! I’ve already posted about the exterior, and the main living areas, so keep reading to see the bedrooms, bathrooms and the loft. Let’s start with the loft… There it is, truth…I bet you weren’t expecting to see a giant mess right off the bat…
*Thank you to Floor & Decor for sponsoring this post. Alright, so it’s time to start diving into all the finish selections for the inside of the house. Up until now we have concentrated on exterior stuff, but the exterior is almost finished and so is the builder… which means that Adam and I have…
Time for another reveal post! Can you tell I’m trying to tie up loose ends on this house before I completely move on to the next one? Although this room turned out so well that I think I’m just going to move it right into the next house and try to change as little as possible….
As you may or may not know, we have started remodeling our tiny master bathroom. You know that dresser that a gave a makeover the other day?
Well, it’s our new bathroom vanity! (or at least we’re working on it.)
Click through to read more, including a funny (and slightly innappropritate) converation about bears.
This post is a little out if the blue, huh? I didn’t give y’all much warning, but yes, we’ve been working on our guest/kids bathroom. Never a dull moment around here! I’m just going to jump right into it and show y’all the before picture…. That is the original before picture….gotta love that bright salmon that plagued…
In my 13 years of writing this blog, I’ve done a lot of house projects. I’ve remodeled a home while maintaining the original footprint, and I’ve designed two homes from scratch. But one thing I have never done is add square footage to an existing home. Until about two weeks ago, when my three-bedroom home…
So….I fully intended for this to be a quick post that was like a paragraph and a few pictures long, and that’s it. Something that I could easily get out in a day. Instead I’ve been adding stuff to it for a week, and it’s hella long and has five videos in it. Anyway…hope you…
Last month marked 12 years since I started this blog. 12 years! Freaking crazy. I wrote my first post on February 13, 2011 without any intention of it becoming a thing. I would have laughed in your face if you told me that 12 years later I would still be plugging away at it and…
Ok, time to jump into the interior of this house, which I know is where we all want to be. This is Wildfire INTERIORS, after all. I’m not going to write posts about all the mechanicals (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation) because it’s boring and I want to get to the pretty stuff. Instead, I’m just…
Welcome to part II of designing a modern home…which has now morphed into designing a mid-century modern home. At the end of the last post, I left you with my final floorplan sketch….the one, that after many other attempts, felt like “the one”. I send it off to the draftsman (again) and crossed my…

So I finally have the office reveal post finished, but I can’t just dive in and show you the finished product without addressing the elephant in the room. Ummm….what he heck is life these days? I feel like I’m living in a history book. My kids school is canceled, Adam is working from home, everything…
Hey everyone, happy 2020! So each new year I write a post about our house goals for the year and look back on how we did on the previous year’s goals. I like having goals, lists, and always having something to work on…but I’m not that type A about it. For example, it’s January 14th…
So Adam and I have been working on our laundry room for a while now, but as we are not HGTV it actually takes us real-life amounts of time to finish a room remodel. Two years so far, I think… that’s normal, right? Don’t answer that. It has been a process but I swear we…
Every summer I have high hopes of blogging and doing home projects with all four boys around, and each summer I fail horribly. So this summer I wizened up and just decided not to worry about the blog or getting anything done on the house. If it happened, great, if not, that’s fine too. And you…
At the beginning of this year I wrote a post outlining our house goals for 2019. It had projects we for sure wanted to finish, along with projects we may or may not get to (you can read that list here). So as soon as Adam and I scratched the RV remodel off that list we…
Almost exactly a year ago we installed the brick flooring in the mudroom, laundry room, and half bathroom. When we installed it I knew I loved the look, but had no idea how it would actually function and hold up in real life. Would it be easy to clean? Catch all the dirt? Can you…
Last year around this time I wrote about our home goals for 2018. Now that 2018 is over, I thought we should take a look and see how we did! Here was my list for the 2018 projects that I wanted to get finished. Mudroom The mudroom was #1 on my list, since I felt…
Y’all. The brick paver floor is finished and it turned out AMAZING. It is exactly what I wanted, which is impressive considering my list demands was pretty specific. I’ve seen plenty of brick floors that aren’t my favorite, so I was only interested in installing a brick paver floor if three things were involved….lots of earthy…
There is this empty wall in our living room that has been begging me to put something on it, something large but with a slim profile. A framed picture would be too small, furniture would be too big, but a wooden blanket ladder….well that would be just right. So I decided to make one myself,…
Progress on the mudroom and laundry room is well underway! The shiplap and trim are finished and I’m loving the way the room is headed. As far as installing shiplap goes, this isn’t our first go around. Adam and I added the same wall treatment to the kitchen and dining room back at the previous…
I’ve never been big on setting New Year’s resolutions. I don’t like making commitments if I am not 100% certain I can stick to them, and New Years resolutions have like a 99% failure rate. Plus I figure that if you need to make a change in your life you should just do it, no…
