The steps below follow the order of the work for this remodel inspiration by room project.
Our summer is off to a great start… meaning a lazy start… and it’s wonderful! I’d love to hear your summer plans (and don’t forget to grab these printable last day of school signs for when your kiddos finish school and your summer break begins) — will you be building? traveling? renovating? sleeping, reading, eating? We’ve got some great summer and beyond options in our Friday Favorites, so enjoy, and have a wonderful weekend!
Friday Favorites

go-to double-whammy: S’mores are one of our go-to parts of summer, and Anika’s Handmade Life made the marshmallow roasting even better with her Handmade table with a built-in firepit/grill.
go-to straightforward curb appeal update: Changing up a light fixture is a relatively quick, straightforward, painless and affordable update, and that’s true indoors and out. These rustic industrial outdoor lanterns look great and they’re nicely affordable! PS: More curb appeal options here.
go-to IKEA: We have used IKEA cabinets in several of our kitchens (like this one and one we’re still working on!), so it was really inspiring to see how Neat n Tiny used IKEA but combined it with other styles for a really striking custom look (did you see the waterfall edge countertop? I’m swooning!).
go-to pantry space: This vivid space by @yvonnechristensendesign is what dreams are made of! Be sure to look at more striking homes on the #imaBekob tag over on Instagram, too.

go-to it-doesn’t-have-to-be-pretty: Utility shelving needs to be strong, durable, and affordable — these Handmade shelves from Our Home Made straightforward fit the bill, and just look how many totes you can fit on one shelf!
go-to not-wasted space: We are reorganizing our garage this summer, and these between the stud shelves by The Handyman’s Daughter have me looking again for space that we might have not used but that we *could* use for small storage like this.
go-to summer parenting method: Okay, this might not actually be a method. But summer break means that my children are often making their own lunches when they are hungry, which means PBJ. After awhile they get bored with it, though, so I’m thinking a fun dinosaur sandwich cutter like this will keep it interesting! Novelty is still all the rage with my kiddos and I hope it stays that way forever!
go-to triple C: It’s clean, coastal, and custom! This fresh coastal-farmhouse style bathroom is such a nice blend of neutral color and texture for a refreshing space. (Photo ©Bekob | Home built by Davies Design Build)

go-to pop of color: You can use pops of color for throw cushions, rugs, and more — but have you considered a pop of color for your curtains? A Darling Design shows how she uses colorful curtains.
