We upgraded our kids’ room with a stunning bifold window, bringing the outdoors in and wowing our friends. But when our viral reel hit 4.7M views, all anyone cared about was—bugs! With no screen (yet), we’re enjoying fresh air on our terms. Would you pick a bifold window or a sliding door?

Living in our cozy 1,200 sq. ft. 1940s home, we've always embraced small-space living—but hosting? That’s been a challenge. While summer BBQs in our spacious backyard have been a blast, colder months left us feeling cramped indoors. I grew up in a home where gatherings were lively, no matter the space, yet I found myself believing that hosting required a big, picture-perfect house. In 2025, I’m challenging that mindset and reclaiming my love for hosting—no matter the size of our home. And we made one unconventional change that’s been a game-changer!

After six years of renting out the main house, we knew it was time to move in and make it our own. But first, we had to tackle the most outdated space—the bathroom. With a worn-out tub, broken tiles, a huge window with no privacy, and a tiny closet, it needed a complete makeover. We transformed it from a dated mess into a sleek black-and-white retreat!
