The Makerista

I'm Gwen, a modern traditionalist who isn't afraid of color. Kansas City.

Looking Back at the Lower Sunroom

The lower sunroom has really come a long way, and in the midst of styling and trying to work out the minor details, it’s always great for me to look back at what was pre reno and what it looked like when we moved in. With little kids and higher priority spaces for budget, we slapped some paint on the walls and fireplace and added an ikea piece for storage. Now that the kids are bigger and there are less toys and less coloring on everything, we’ve invested in elements that can stand the test of time and really work hard for what we do in this space. From tv watching, to game playing, seed starting, to plant care – this room is a workhorse!

When we moved in!

This room will be styled with many of my thrifting finds; like the blue and white pieces we used in the mosaic.

    I’ve also been looking for @themakerista too? Did your account get hacked or suspended? I pray not! You are missed!

      I don’t really know exactly what happened, but I’m happy to have it back!

    Hi Gwen! Is something happening with your Instagram? Because you’re not on there- says page not found. Not sure if you were aware!!!

    I love the color contrast with the white cabinets and the dark floors! I am remodeling this spring and I am looking for design ideas that will lighten our kitchen and family room. Thank you for the inspiration!

    Same! @robyn.rebecca mentioned in her stories a few days ago that @themakerista disappeared and that Gwen would be posting on her thrift page on Instagram.
    I tried to join but I’m not on Facebook. Not sure if that’s a requirement or not but since I haven’t received a bill thru PayPal I’m guessing it is required.
    I’m so bummed, really loved following you on Instagram.
