Hi guys! If you follow my IG stories, you know I used Hitchswitch to change my name. It was the best thing I did!

Hi guys! If you follow my IG stories, you know I took the Everlywell food sensitivity test and found out I'm sensitive to eggs which I would've never thought! (and wheat, rye, gluten and soybeans!) I also now did the vitamin D test and was so glad my numbers were normal there. This is definitely something you can pay for with your FSA/HSA money instead of going to the doctors to get it done which is what's awesome about this. All done at home and you mail back your kit! I also have a 20% code for you- https://refer.everlywell.com/s/lizbobak- let me know what you get done! Thanks to Everywell for providing a the tests.

Hi guys! I wanted to share a dedicated post all about the blinds! I knew when I bought a house that I wouldn't want to be walking through to 20 windows closing them each night and opening every morning so for a while I know I wanted motorized blinds. The fact that I got to do all 20 of my windows and doors is beyond! It is probably my favorite part in the house. If you don't know, we remodeled the entire house after we bought it in Dec 2019 and you can find all of our home reno blog posts here. We did live in the house without blinds for a few months so when we got these and I could sleep in and it was dark in the room was amazing! The blinds we got: Lifestyle Room Darkening Roller Shades in

Hi guys! Some of our rooms aren't completely furnished yet but I wanted to share all the lights we got in the house as it was very overwhelming to pick them all! If I found a blog post like this it'd be so nice for me! haha If you don't know, we remodeled the entire house after we bought it in Dec 2019 and you can find all of our home reno blog posts here. There were MANY decisions when remodeling that when it was time for lights I pretty much left them to the last minute because I didn't know the vibe yet. Enjoy! BEFORE ITEMS: (in order of photos) Living room chandelier: Walmart (bulbs) Kitchen island pendants: Nemo Kitchen stove sconces: West Elm Kitchen sink pendant: Shades of Light Kitch

Hi guys! When we bought this house they had 3 rooms with the wood flooring going 3 different directions, diagonal, horizontal, and vertical (and they laminate flooring over tile in the kitchen.) That solidified that we had to replace the flooring instead of sanding and staining the existing. I do have to say the flooring was the most expensive part of our reno. We did include it in the closets as well as the entire upstairs in bedrooms so we ended up doing about 2200 sq ft of new flooring. If we did pre-engineered wood it would have been cheaper because the contractors wouldn't have to sand and stain them and we'd only get charged for demo of the existing and then installation of the pre-eng

Hi guys! Finally a powder bath update! I still want to do some more decorating on the right side of the bathroom when you walk in but here it is so far! We did heated floors by Warmly Yours underneath the tile and peel and stick wallpaper on the walls. I originally was going to keep the wood floors from the first floor to go into this room but we saw a leak under the toilet and that made me nervous if in the future it leaked and messed up the wood floor.

BEFORE AFTER ITEMS: floor tile: tile shop - metropolis white fan polished- (I don't see the white currently on their website but I linked the grey one) - installed by Dan and Jon (708-785-4004) heated floors: WarmlyYours - i
