The Process of Buying a House (In The Bay Area)

January 14, 2020

Now that I’ve shared a blog post about what to consider when buying a house, from things like square footage, location, if it’s your forever house or not, and more, I want to share this post about the whole buying process. We have been through it twice now, with houses in Livermore and Atascadero, but since I’m not expert, I brought in our Livermore realtor Katie Moe and Bay Area mortgage broker Andy Spellman

What To Consider When Buying A House

January 4, 2020

It easy to get caught up when house hunting and buying a house. It also can be daunting when you put offers in and they don’t get accepted, or no house feels like the one. I promise your house is out there, and know that the right one will come along when it’s meant to be :)

The Poff Pad Is For Sale

January 8, 2018

I have mixed emotions while writing this post. I'm sad to sell our first home, but super excited to be moving on to something even better! We bought our house 2.5 years ago and made some major changes to the front and back of the house. The interior didn't change much, we just painted all the walls, added some window coverings, a few new exterior doors, and put brass drawer pulls in the kitchen.

DIY: Marble Coffee Table Makeover

April 12, 2017

Iam obsessed with anything marble (I mean who isn't these days), so I knew that's what I wanted for our coffee table. Sadly marble coffee tables are hundreds of dollars and I wasn't about to spend that kind of money. So I searched on Craigslist for a marble table that we could tear apart. I luckily found this one in Alameda!

Poff Pad Living Room: Mid Century Modern Meets Boho

March 8, 2017

Our living room is the culmination of our mid century modern style meets antiques meets boho. The biggest thing was to paint the room white, and then we could bring everything in. We started the room with our large Joybird sectional and we worked around that. When figuring out the layout of this room we basically had two options for which wall would be the TV wall. There was an in wall plug for the TV already, on the wall it's now on, so we decided that made the most sense. Plus the way we have our couch allows for an "entry" area into the house where we put a long rug, a mirror and plant hanging on that wall.

Our Master Bedroom Makeover At The Poff Pad

February 20, 2017

This room started as a tan box, so of course I painted it ALL white. A nice, cool white with no warm tones. We slowly got furniture for it, as we'd been sleeping on our mattress on the floor in our last few houses and also didn't have nightstands. The mid century modern dresser was a find from Craigslist when we lived in SLO, and we refinished it to have a darker stain compared to the red one it came with.

Poff Pad Front Yard

December 20, 2016

When we bought the house last April, the first thing you noticed inside and outside was that the color tan threw up everywhere. We are so not tan paint people, give us cool neutrals, like grey and white, and pops of color like an orange front door and a dark blue house. The mid century modern style is our vibe (if you hadn't noticed yet), so we wanted to bring that to our not so mid century modern looking house.

Poff Pad Backyard

December 14, 2016

It's time to start revealing the Poff Pad! I decided to start with our backyard renovation because it's the most drastic change. It started off with a deck, real grass, tons of tan bark, some plants, and 2 old doors that led out to the backyard. We wanted to make as much usable space as we could, as well as keep it low maintenance. The mid century modern/Palm Springs vibe was our inspiration, and after looking at countless images online, we came up with this design.
