Lately, I've been working on our 2025 renovation plans, and it is taking me forever to get anything done because all I want to do is select finishes.

January photo dump. It felt like we were in hibernation mode all month, but between wrapping up construct on my clients midmod kitchen reno and lots of fun family activities, it was a nice (but looooong) month. Check out calek.com/blog for more!

Calek Streeting Bungalow Mudroom Built-ins! We have a very small entry vestibule at our front door. We can't make it any bigger, but I think with some built-ins and a bench, we can make it function better!

February. It's been a slow start to the year, but I'm really hoping to share our 2025 home improvement plans in the coming weeks.

Our house is long overdue for some improvements. This is what we have planned for 2025!

Next week, I'll be sharing a bit more about each project we have planned. 😊

We've had issues with our stairs for a while and have done some DIY patch jobs in the past, but it is time for a proper fix. We're planning new concrete stairs, rebuilt brick wing walls, and new handrails.

Calek Streeting Bungalow Valentine’s Vibe. Dan and I met at a party shortly after Valentine’s Day 15 years ago! It's always nice to share a special Valentine’s celebration at home with our kiddo.

I find design trends so frustrating, especially when it comes to your own home. I definitely pay attention to trends and have my own style preferences. But at the end of the day, how you design your home should be about you, not someone else.
