Double Dormer Inspiration

One of the main questions that we get asked when we first get a new flip is, how do we get a vision for it? Now some homes are pretty clear from the get-go as to what we can transform it to, while some take a whole lot of vision and imagination!! Double Dormer was kind of a combo home. Some rooms were cut and dry as to how to change them, while others {like the Master bedroom} needed special vision goggles to see any good in it!

Right before we got this home Jeremy and I got to go to Portland to celebrate our 6 year anniversary {umm we will have been together for 11 years in October- say whatttt!} While there we of course did some vintage shopping because we both have a love affair with it! One shop though that we had never even heard of, let alone been in, was Rejuvenation. YOU GUYS!! This store was like our Heaven. Seriously. It had everything thing we love about home decor and fixtures, new mixed with old, shiny mixed with more industrial, freaking glorious.

That shopping trip was what lead us to designing a lot of Double Dormer the way we did. We constantly found ourselves envisioning a room, and then going back to something we saw at Rejuvenation. And rightfully so- it was just too good to stop thinking about!

So I wanted to showcase a few of their things that I think can really make a bold difference in a home, whether you are doing a full renovation like we do, or just changing out some fixtures here and there. Our Double Dormer was built in 1941 so it was so fun bringing it all back to life with some of their products, but that doesn’t mean you can’t put some of these things in a new-build and have just as much success!

1- Carson Rod Pendant, 2- Raleigh Park rug, 3- Fords Mill Double sconce, 4- Carrara Marble kitchen sink, 5- Grandview 2-light chandelier, 6- Connor Wall mount faucet

7- Abernathy single sink vanity, 8- Farlane chandelier, 9- Mission pyramid cabinet knob, 10- Lewis single push-button switchplate, 11- Baltimore 6-light chandelier

12- Cedar and Moss pendant , 13- Fireclay kitchen sink with rim, 14- Wall mount bridge kitchen faucet, 15- Squared Double Sconce, 16- Old town knob

By mixing metals in a home you bring a element of surprise! We love mixing it up, especially in the kitchen. In our Double Dormer we have brass, chrome, and black! When you initially think of mixing those it can seem overwhelming, but it comes together beautifully! Light fixtures are another awesome way to mix elements, like Rejuvenations amazing Grandview chandelier! I love the chrome and copper. At the same time, we were looking for the type of kitchen sink we wanted to add, and from the start, I knew that I wanted a farmhouse sink for kitchen. I just absolutely adore the style and look of them, so stylish! When I started doing a bit more research into sinks, I realized that there were so many options. There were a lot of colours, designs and shapes to choose from and I was overwhelmed, especially if you are looking at the kitchen sinks denver company Rock Solid offers. Fortunately for us, we found the sink for us. A friend of mine told me when she was remodeling her kitchen that the sink options were endless for her, and she couldn’t decide on which one she wanted, but fortunately for us, we knew exactly what we wanted our kitchen sink to be. A traditional farmhouse kitchen sink ties everything together in the most wonderful way!

If you have a Rejuvenation near you- GO check it out! You will be blown away! And keep in mind, they don’t ‘just’ have amazing new items, they also have a ton of Restored Antiques that are so rad!! Its like going to the best estate sale you could ever imagine, and the home is only full of amazing things- all the junk weeded out. We found some amazing 3 1/2 ball hinges for the doors that we loved from the antiques room in Portland and used them all the interior doors in this home {other than the Pantry}:
