Sometimes all it takes for a facelift is some fresh flooring. In this case, we also discovered some necessary repairs to make sure this home is cozy, water damage free, and sound for winter. Swipe to check out the before!

It’s certainly winter now, but looking back at this past summers build has me thinking ahead to springtime!

Quarantine is making a lot of us look for fresh ways to use our homes. This basement (swipe to see before) renovation was a wise choice for the homeowners. It was fun and exciting to get to transform this beautiful space!

I just finished up this bonus room in a client’s basement - it turned out great!

Here’s the end result along with the before pics and a few in progress. It was a really satisfying process!

Also, a huge shout out to Cordova Construction for the excellent taping and paint job - they really helped make this place look fantastic!

This garage had a truck back through it earlier this year, and is finally all put back together! Another collaboration with Ethos West Construction, Inc. that’s turned out so great!

Another Ethos West Construction, Inc. collaboration! This little space used to be a library/ office but now the downstairs is going to be used as a separate rental space that needed its own kitchen :) I laid the flooring, put in the trim and got the cabinets up, but the plumbing/ sheetrock/ electrical and finishing touches will be up to the rest of the team :)

I got to finish a few projects this past week - here’s one I am super happy with!

With everything going on it’s easy to get lost in what to do. I’ve heard the best thing to do is listen to the people who already have been working on anti-racism efforts and learn from them what they need and do that. So here are a few of the people we are listening to and trying to support in case you need ideas:

Excellent classes on ways and reasons to be anti-racist.

The NAACP
NAACP

Black Lives Matter
https://blacklivesmatter.com

Nicole Cardoza has an excellent email list with daily practical ideas of ways to help create systemic change

The Libby audio library ap has been amazing - they have a list of anti-racist audio books and I’ve been able to listen to a few by Ta-Nehisi Coates that were so educational and it’s all free! You may have to wait a while for some of the more popular titles, but it’s been worth it.

And then I’ve also really appreciated listening to the podcast 1619 which goes into historical accounts of how our country was built on the practice of owning and extorting black people and then personal stories of how that beginning is affecting people today. It’s really powerful as well as enlightening.

Nicole Cardoza is a 30-year-old social entrepreneur, speaking and investor making wellness accessible for all.

I’m doing some repairs at a house where a car backed through their garage, and I’ve got it back to the point now where I’m getting sheetrock put back in.

We're here, we're listening, and are committed to knowing better and doing better.

This morning, in the aftermath of last night's protests, we join the community in mourning the death of George Floyd.

Our hearts go out to his family and loved ones.

He should be alive today.

Sometimes working for myself is super awesome. And sometimes working in partnership with another company is the best - this is one of those times! Thanks to Ethos West for these super thoughtful gifts: a new face mask bandana and some Pure Bliss cookies.

I’m working at home right now on our front deck, and it was such a fun surprise to find this little porch dropped package :)
