Sharing ups and downs on my journey to make our house a home.

Welcome to 
Bright + Elevated

Lately, our kitchen has been frustrating me. Even though everything is brand new, it feels like there’s no identity here. Everything feels a little monotone: the grey backsplash, the white cabinets with black handles, the stainless steel appliances. Shoulder shrug. Is it too much to make this little place where we constantly gather around food […]
