I started “cleaning” up my beauty and household a couple years ago when my husband and I were about ready to start a family. (synthetic fragrance and parabens etc are hormone disrupters!) I detailed the household items I cleaned up in a series I called “Detoxing my Charleston Home”. You can read a summary here.

That being said, my pregnancy experience so far has come with a lot of surprises! Nothing out of the ordinary, but being a first time momma means there’s so much to learn with every stage of pregnancy and beyond.

Before & After | Kitchen

In case you haven’t noticed yet: kitchens built in 1986 were very brown. I think that’s the theme of the “before” of this house. Brown trim, brown cabinets. . . whew. One of the first things I was eager to do to this place was paint those horrible shiny brown cabinets! See what I did. . .
