holiday refresh + natural red oak hardwood floors

happy new year! i hope your Christmas 2022 was beautiful + refreshing!

Though many of you follow along on Instagram, I wanted to take a moment to share my hardwood floor refinish + install here on the blog, figuring it would be the perfect place to pin images if you're looking to refresh your interior too. 


I know there are so many resources out there, but decisions to renovate are always an evolution. I tapped into advice from other interior designers, gathered images and created mood boards on milanote (love that app). Painting a fresh coat of Chantilly Lace (inspired by Isabellawas the perfect place to start, then painting the stair railings black truly transformed the space (here's the pin that swayed me). The key though was installing new hardwoods + refinishing the originals. We opted for a natural finish using Bona, hiring local experts from On Point Flooring. It was quite a task making this home project work amidst life's crazy, but oh so worth it.


Here's a sneak peek into my home this past holiday. All the ornaments, wreaths + bottlebrush trees are packed up now and I'm ready for the reset of a new year. How about you?
















wishing you + yours much joy, goodness, peace, and pretty moments in 2023!
