Another color of the year dropped and we’re not at all surprised to see another green coming out on top 🐊🫑🫛🌲 the green color family is timeless, adaptable, and effortlessly breathes personality into any design.

This moody take is a bold yet versatile shade that reminds us of the past while still feeling relevant in today’s trends. Truly a complementary neutral in our eyes that will never go out of style. We’ve been seeing this hue time and time again, and we don’t expect it to go anywhere 💅🏼💌

From the original spaces to a completely reimagined bathroom, this renovation has come such a long way! A few finishing touches are still underway, but we’re loving how it’s all coming together. ✨

Swipe to see the progress!

This one has a story. ✨

Tucked into the heart of the Drake neighborhood, this beautifully renovated historic home is packed with the kind of character you just can’t recreate. And the history? Pretty incredible. The original barn behind the home is where the Animal Rescue League got its start. 🐱 🐶

Inside, the original hand-crafted trim and woodwork absolutely steal the show. These details have been lovingly preserved throughout the home, showcasing the craftsmanship, warmth, and personality that make old houses so special. It’s the good stuff, the kind of detail we’re always begging people not to paint over. 😉

With 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 1 half bath, and two primary suites, there’s plenty of room to spread out. The massive kitchen is made for gathering, hosting, and everyday life, while thoughtful renovations throughout bring in the modern functionality you want without stripping away what made this home special in the first place.

Historic charm, beautifully preserved original details, modern updates, and a seriously cool piece of Des Moines history.

They just don’t make them like this anymore. 👏

The announcement of Sherwin-Williams 2027 Color of the Year has us wanting to skip right past winter and jump into spring. Just as new blooms give a sense of fresh perspectives, this airy green feels like a much needed reset.

Harmony, clarity, and comfort describe this hue’s potential to create inviting spaces and bring calm to everyday life. Easily paired with tones of purple, red, and blue, Celery can feel both soft and organic, or balanced and grounded. This one gets an all resounding approval from our team 🍈🍠🌿🌊🥬🥀
