The third floor of the Lawbre has been a lesson in trusting decisions long enough to see where they go.
I wasn’t sure about the hallway wallpaper when I chose it. I liked it, but I wasn’t convinced it was right for the space. Then the stained wainscoting went in, and suddenly the whole thing made sense. Sometimes a choice just needs the rest of the room to catch up with it.

The long room went in another direction entirely. I decided to test those black floor panels, knowing full well they might be coming right back out. Instead, I loved them. From there came a custom-mixed paint color, the papered accent wall, and a room that ended up having much more personality than I originally imagined.

And then there was the bedroom—wallpaper, paint, flooring, and another space beginning to feel settled.
That’s one of the things I enjoy most about this stage of a house. Some rooms I can see clearly from the beginning. Others make me question every decision until suddenly everything clicks into place.

The third floor is getting there.

Some houses are a little harder to let go. Magnolia is one of them.

She has been part of Maple & Moss for a long time. She became part of Carried Forward and tucked into her rooms is a small piece of my own family story—the curtains I made using lace from my Turkish bride box.

So when I sent the Magnolia home to a lovely young lady named Audrey, I wanted a little bit of the story to go with her.

I wrote Audrey a note and made a tiny copy of Carried Forward to tuck inside the house. And then it was time to let the Magnolia go. That can be bittersweet, but it’s also the reason I do this. I was never meant to keep all of these houses. I get to care for them for a while, give them another chapter, and then place them into someone else’s hands. Now it is in Audrey’s. My part of Magnolia’s story may be finished, but hers isn’t.

Audrey gets to write what comes next.

Welcome home, Magnolia.

This update involved a little more demolition than I originally planned.
The upstairs layout had one problem I just couldn’t ignore: you had to walk through the bathroom to get to the bedroom.
So…out came a wall.
I opened up the space to create an actual hallway, while keeping the bathroom tucked behind it as a little peekaboo room. It’s a relatively small change to the structure, but it completely changes how the upstairs makes sense.
While I was at it, I stripped out all of the old interior trim and wainscoting, then hauled the house back outside to sand away the remaining wallpaper and give myself a clean surface to work with.
Judging by the amount of dust on my face, I’m pretty sure I sanded some of the house onto myself. 😂
But the demolition is finally giving way to rebuilding.
Next up: electrical and ceilings.

The new commission is officially taking shape.

Could you see yourself here?

Victoria’s Farmhouse has changed a lot since the day she arrived at Maple & Moss. But somewhere along the way, she stopped feeling like a project and started feeling like a home.

A kitchen where something always seems to be happening. A living room made for settling in. Bedrooms tucked upstairs. Little things left on counters and tables that make you wonder about the people who live here.

Victoria’s story with me is complete. Now she’s fully finished, furnished, illuminated, and ready for someone else to make her theirs.

And really…

Why not today?

Victoria’s Farmhouse is currently available. Message us if you think she might be yours.

I may have gotten a little carried away with the garage.

The original idea sounded simple enough: if this little cottage was becoming a condo with a garage, I wanted the garage door to actually open. My first idea for the tracks did not work. Enter my husband. His solution involved a router, considerably more tools than mine, and, at one point, two beautifully made left-side tracks. 😂

There was some starting over. But eventually we had a left track, a right track, a door that knew where it was supposed to go and…

Was a functioning garage door strictly necessary?
Absolutely not. Was I going to stop once I decided I wanted one? Also absolutely not. And now I can open and close it whenever I want—which I have done a completely reasonable number of times.
