HGTV Dream Home / HGTV HOME™ By Sherwin-Williams Renovation Blog!
I had the wonderful opportunity to partner with HGTV HOME™ by Sherwin-Williams this year in Gig Harbor, Washington! In case you missed the Instagram posts and stories… It was an incredible experience exploring the 2018 HGTV Dream Home from start to finish, and I am excited to tell you about it. First… Let me tell you a little about me… This will help set some context around this opportunity and help you understand why it has been so meaningful to me – For me, proximity to salt water is everything. Simply being able to see or smell the salty sea can fill...
Local Spotlight: Tiny Heirloom, Luxury Custom Built Tiny Homes
A few months ago, I had the pleasure of connecting with the great people behind Tiny Heirloom, who make the highest quality and most custom Tiny Homes that I have ever seen. You may even remember a couple of Instagram posts that we created together! We quickly realized that we were very likeminded in the ways that we approached our respective businesses, how they are operated, and the passion behind them. Ever since then, we have spent a great deal of time bouncing ideas off of one another on how we could creatively collaborate further. In fact, looking back...
Local Spotlight: Olympia Coffee Roasting Company
Capital. Before my wife and I moved to Olympia, I would definitely have considered us “coffee people.” We loved getting a great cup of coffee together and really valued the quality and the people behind the process as well. Living in Albany, Oregon, we would actually frequently drive all the way over to Corvallis just to grab a cup from our favorite shop. It became much more than just coffee and really turned into an experience; a way to slow down, disconnect from distractions, and connect with each other. When we moved to Olympia we were honestly sad to be...
Tommy Takes On: The Oregon Coast Day Seven
The final day of our epic adventure! This bittersweet and final day was half adventure and half driving back home to Olympia, Washington. It was hard to believe that over the course of two legs, we had seen the entire Oregon coast from north to south. Truly a dream trip and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to take it on with The Peoples Coast (@thepeoplescoast). We knew that we needed to go out with another gorgeous morning - so you guessed it, we were up before the sun! We left Bandon and headed north to Cape Arago, Shore...
Tommy Takes On: The Oregon Coast Day Six
And the adventure continues! Tommy here to cover day six of our Oregon Coast adventure in collaboration with The Peoples Coast (@thepeoplescoast)! Today was also action packed from sunrise to sunset. As always, we woke up bright and early to enjoy sunrise. We left our hotel in Gold Beach (Pacific Reef Hotel, awesome experience right on the water!) and went a few miles south to enjoy as much of Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor as we could. This is a linear state park that runs 12 miles long and has some stunning views. I enjoyed a few short hikes...
