What guests are saying:

“Beautiful Butler City Apartment is indeed a beautiful apartment. Everything was very nice, and the apartment was a beautiful, cozy place. The couch and beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was very modern, with high quality, modern cooking utensils. Roeshel obviously takes a lot of pride in this apartment, and it shows. I was very pleased with my experience there.”

~Robert

“Beautiful apartment next to a cute down town! Our first Airbnb fell threw last minute and Roeshel was on top of getting back to us and having us stay with such short notice! So many extra touches to ensure a great stay! Lists of local places to eat and a calendar of things to do! If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Definitely recommend.”

~Brittany

“Roeshel’s place was simply spectacular!! Luxury surrounded us in every detail of her space. The kitchen was a dream…I enjoyed cooking up local vegetables. The beds were super comfortable with fabulous linens. And the decor was right out of a magazine! Roeshel’s special touches made this my favorite all-time AirBnB experience. We felt so at home and didn’t want to leave. If you’re lucky enough to get to stay here, I’m certain you’ll feel the same way.”

~Cathy

Holiday stays:

“My husband and I stayed at Roeshel’s for a trip home over the holidays and absolutely loved it! Roeshel met us for a quick tour when we arrived. The whole place is filled with cute little touches and smells amazing (all essential oils). She even had it decorated for Christmas and it looked incredible! The bed was super comfy and there are throw blankets to keep warm under and a full kitchen should you need it. We would definitely stay again!”

~Shannon

“This place had everything you need and more. I mentioned to the host that I was visiting my 2 1/2 yr old granddaughter for the holidays and I found a basket of perfect toys that were placed to share with her in the space. The house is sparkling clean and the atmosphere so inviting. Everything you need to have a nice getaway! I highly recommend staying here!”

~Christine

Wedding weekend:

“My husband and I booked Roeshel’s place for our wedding weekend. We used the space to get ready in and as a retreat after our long exciting wedding day. Her space is decorated beautifully with many amenities for her guests to use. One feature my make-up artist loved was the long table/desk with built in charging station – convenient!

Not only did she go above and beyond with her communication and little touches but she also surprised us, not once but twice! When we arrived the morning of our wedding she had laid out a little welcome platter of fruits and drinks with a congratulations sign hung on the fire place mantle. She also drew up a cute little note on the calendar on the refrigerator!

When we arrived back to the space late that night after having the most perfect wedding day, we were greeted with another surprise. The entry way and stairs leading up to the AirBnB had been decorated with rose petals and electric candles. This led to a decorated romantic set up outside the apartment door along with chocolates, drinks and chilled glasses. We cried. It was the most perfect ending to the beautiful day we had just shared. It meant the world to us.

Her thoughtful touches, ultra clean + super hip space and her timely communication make this easily the best place to stay in the Butler area. If you are in town or just want a little stay-cation I can’t encourage you enough to book Roeshel’s space!”

Roomspiration – Kitchen Edition

Posted on October 7, 2011 by Roeshel

If you’ve been following the Roomspiration series, you’ve seen beautiful and inspiring do-it-yourself entryways, livingrooms, bathrooms, guest rooms, craft rooms, dining rooms, kids’ bedrooms, nurseries, master bedrooms, closets and nooks, laundry rooms and mud rooms and now…welcome to the Kitchen Edition.

Welcome to our kitchen makeover!

We’ve been working on remodeling our kitchen for almost a year and we’re almost done! I had hoped to be completely ready for a true reveal but it’s still a work in progress. We’re still working on plans for the kitchen island, still have to finish baseboard trim, framing a window and the tin backsplash behind the stove but…take a look at how far we’ve come:

First thing we did was swap out single door…

Before

Now: French doors

(sorry – it’s so bright, I can’t get a good picture)

When we bought our home the kitchen had orange-oak cabinets, blue laminate countertops, dirty white walls and old worn vinyl flooring.

Now:

What we did:

Swapped out old single door for French doors

Painted cabinets tutorial (Benjamin Moore Moonshine)

Marble tile backsplash tutorial

Granite countertops (Virginia Jet Mist)

Custom Marble & Granite

(honed finish)

New instant hot water dispenser, articulating/sprayer and soap dispenser

Waterstone Towson Suite

Zero radius sink

Bamboo Floors (Cali Bamboo)

Antique Distressed Java

Installed recess lighting, $5 thrift find – pot rack, new semi-flush mounts and dimmer switch.

Painted (True Value Easy Care Platinum/Color = Old Fashioned)
Pantry Door Clock tutorial

Magnetic Lazy Susan Spice Loft tutorial with Sliding Ladder tutorial

Antique Chicken Feeder becomes a Cook Book Library

Entryway – this is where we enter our home for now. When we have a new front entry and when a new stand alone refrigerator and stand alone freezer are in the budget, this area will go away.

(DIY ottoman)

(See the original house siding and where the kitchen was doubled in size sometime in the past by previous owners?)

Storage

Hopefully by the end of the year, it will be complete. In the meantime, we love the changes we’ve made.

Roomspiration – Laundry Rooms and Mudrooms

Posted on October 5, 2011 by Roeshel

Join in the Roomspiration by adding your own laundry room or mud room by linking up today with Elizabeth from The Mustard Ceiling and her gorgeous stenciled laundry room.

I was getting all ready to do a post full of Pinterest inspiration but I think I’d rather keep it real today and show you our own home. No! Not the laundry room. We hold the record for blogger’s ugliest laundry room ever so we’ll just keep that a secret until there is a makeover to show off.

We have an area we call the “mud room” but it’s not really since no one really enters through these doors. What would you make this space? I think I’ll be looking for some seating to go in here…it’s sunny in the mornings.

When we moved in, it looked like this:

It’s off the dining room. We tore out that single door and installed a set of French doors…

We added a coat/shoe closet to an area that sat back beside the basement steps.

Mr. DIY installed slate tile. Isn’t it pretty?!

We recycled and framed a huge frameless mirror that came with our home…

and here are some pictures of how it’s looked over the last couple of years. I love to rearrange this area!

summer

spring

Then this…

Here it was last Christmas…

The orange chairs from the bedroom makeover (here) even sat in this ‘mud room’ while waiting for their debut in the guest room.

Come back tomorrow when I show you how it looks for fall. The DIY Fall Festival will start one day early this week (Thursday) due to the Roomspiration schedule and hosting Roomspiration-Kitchen Edition Friday!).

Here’s the schedule for Roomspiraton. Hope to see you over at The Mustard Ceiling today!

Guest Bedroom Reveal and $100 BHG Giveaway

Posted on October 3, 2011 by Roeshel

372

Remember when I set that ~~crazy~~ ambitious one week time frame for transforming the guest room? Ready for TONS of pictures? Don’t mind me, I just love to “show off”! 😉

Before – early years

Before it was my office/craft room. But it was always a mess. I moved that room upstairs so I can shut the door when needed and keep my project mess and work spread out. The guest bedroom needed to be on the same floor as the guest bathroom.

Here it is all emptied with baseboard trim removed and as you can tell, we tore out the nasty carpet when we moved in and moved on to other more important projects.

My mood board was designed to include things we already had including thrift store finds. A mood board is always a great way to start a room makeover and helps to visualize and form a design direction.

I painted the floor and painted an area rug look-alike (more details here)…

I painted the walls and installed baseboard trim as well as door trim around the bathroom door. .

Wall color is a mix of Dutch Boy “Lake Champlain” and “Aquamarine White”.

Trim = Dutch Boy Trim & Cabinet paint in ultra white.

The black chandelier + a little turquoise Rub ‘n Buff Turquoise by Bri…

And finally, the reward for all of that painting, I put the room together.

Thanks to Better Homes & Gardens, I warmed up the room for guests arriving this fall. I am participating in BHG’s “make your home guest ready for less” and was able to select $100 worth of BHG products at WalMart.com. I was pleasantly surprised with the beautiful products, great quality and big selection!

Swap out old dusty shades for new BHG tapered taupe drum shades

to soften light and add a warm glow to the room.

Seating area is a great place to curl up with a hot mug of mulled cider and a good book. (Or a cat!)
Add a BHG gold chenille throw and relax!

Sweet fall scents make me happy to be indoors when it’s chilly outside.

BHG Fleur de Lis wax warmer is a pretty creamy ceramic accent…

(and glass insulator turned votive)

BHG Delectable wax cubes in scents of warm vanilla creme, baked apple streudel, wild berry cheesecake and vanilla caramel spice create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Better Homes and Gardens Delectables Wax Cubes, Set of 4

Pretty and fresh new guest towels make guests feel extra special.

Love this BHG Jacquard 3 piece set.

A pretty BHG peony decorative pillow is the perfect touch to a cozy bed full of bigger pillows.

(bedding source: Serena & Lily Mandra at Layla Grayce)

Now the room is complete (minus a few finishing touches such as caulking the trim, filling trim nail holes and touching up paint), some DIY wall art and decor and curtains! Okay, that doesn’t sound near complete but it’s come a long way! What do you think so far? I’m loving how it all came together!

BEFORE & AFTER

Before – view from the guest bathroom

Standing in the guest bathroom after and taking a look at the view now…

Before (see that unframed door)

After

New door trim and wall space to decorate…

View from the dining room before…

View now (don’t worry, a curtain will be put back up to ensure guest’s privacy).

A much prettier view!

More happy views of how it looks now (with more DIY decorating projects coming up!)…

Lalka claims the room as hers.

Planning something with this wall but first I want to rearrange the room a few ways.

Another view of the painted floor…

And where it meets the painted guest bathroom floor…
