Moving into our new home has been such a special chapter—and one of the most unexpected joys has been hearing how many people are curious about the design details, finishes, and products we chose. From our favorite paint colors to the ice maker we now can’t live without, I’m sharing the most asked-about features in our home—with links so you can shop or save the look!
The Appliances Everyone Asks About
Appliances is probably where we get the most questions. Here's what we went with—and why we love it. Most of the appliances in our kitchen are monorgram - beautifully made and highly functional.
Range: Monogram 8.9 Cu. Ft. Freestanding Double Oven
Stainless steel and brushed gold, six burners, a warming drawer, a skillet, and built-in statement style.Pot Filler: Giving Tree Matte Black Wall Mount
A classic, functional piece sourced from Home Depot.Fridge: Monogram Refrigerator
Sleek, spacious, and blends in beautifully with our cabinetry.Dishwashers (we have two!): Monogram Smart Dishwashers
Steam sanitization, a third rack, gorgeous led lights, and super quiet.WASHER & DRYERS : One of the most practical parts of this house? We have two laundry rooms—each outfitted with smart, stackable appliances: They’re efficient, sleek, and handle big loads with ease.
Finishes That Set the Tone
These are the details that give our home a clean, neutral, and warm modern farmhouse feel:
Floors: Mohawk TecWood Plus in Tradewinds Oak
Engineered hardwood that holds up beautifully with everyday life of living on a farm.Cabinets: Wellborn Cabinets
American-made, classic, and built to last.Paint Colors (Sherwin-Williams):
Pure White – Interior walls
Snowbound – Exterior
Iron Ore – Bookcases and built-ins
Accent Walls You’ll See Continue Throughout Rooms
One of our most complimented features is the textured, wood-look tile we used in the living room—and continued into our primary bathroom. It adds warmth, depth, and a subtle statement without feeling too bold.
Hardware + Fixtures with Modern Farmhouse Vibes
We kept things cohesive with matte black and brushed gold throughout the home.
Cabinet Pulls: Modern Square Matte Black Pulls
Kitchen Faucet: Delta Nicoli in Matte Black
Bar Faucet: Delta Beverage Faucet in Champagne Bronze
Simple, clean lines made a big impact.
Lighting That Pulls the Look Together
Lighting is one of the most powerful design tools. Here’s what we chose (and love):
Dining Room: Elliot Grande Pendant – Cement with a gold chain detail (LUMENS)
Kitchen (Visual Comfort / LUMENS):
Hallway: Eleanor Pendant – Lumens
Most-Loved + Best-Selling Products
These are the pieces that get the most love and the most questions:
We didn’t know we were nugget ice people… until we became nugget ice people. It’s hands-down the most talked-about appliance when friends come over.
ICE MAKER: GE Profile Built-In Nugget Ice Maker (Panel Ready)
Window Treatments:
Kitchen Barstools: Siofra Woven Stools – Birch Lane
Dining Chairs: Betha Woven Side Chairs – Birch Lane
They all bring texture and warmth to our more neutral foundation.
