My Home Reveal
The day has finally arrived! After months and months of renovating, I can’t wait to share with you my home. We have poured so much time and love into this project and I am truly speechless with the results. Keep reading for a detailed description on the different spaces in my home and some of the items that have made it complete!
I’m beyond thrilled to finally reveal our newly finished garage, and it’s everything I envisioned and more! We wanted something different in here, so we chose a dark blue color palette with brown shelving in the inside. It’s a bold, moody look that perfectly suits the space. One of my favorite additions is the sleek Elkay water dispenser—I love it not only for its modern design but also for how it helps us cut down on plastic bottle usage. Staying hydrated during workouts just got a whole lot easier and more eco-friendly! The oak garage door was a beautiful addition that ties everything together, adding warmth and style. We also added epoxy flooring—a feature I’ve always loved in garages—and it’s so satisfying to finally have it in ours. It’s durable, easy to clean, and adds a polished finish that makes the space feel complete. I can’t wait to use this space daily, whether I’m breaking a sweat, organizing our gear, or working on our next big project!
In the living area, one of the standout features is our Vestaboard messaging board (use code “JEN100” for $100 off)—this was the #1 item I wanted in our new home, and it has not disappointed! I love how it combines both form and function, offering a sleek design while serving as a central hub for our daily messages. Whether we’re sharing reminders, inspirational quotes, or fun notes, it’s in constant use and has become a true showstopper for every guest who walks through the door. Right next to it is our new Sixpenny sectional and ottoman, which I’m absolutely in love with. Not only is it stunning to look at, but it’s also the most luxurious and comfortable couch we’ve ever owned. Every person who has come over can’t stop raving about how cozy it is, and it’s quickly become everyone’s favorite spot to relax.
Our kitchen is a space I’m truly proud of. Every detail I thought about from how we move throughout the kitchen, our inventory, our must-haves, and so on. A few things I love and that iour guests do to are our spices (truly, a master piece!). I’ve been using Evermill spices since day one, and I’m absolutely obsessed with how they’ve elevated not just the flavor of our cooking but also the aesthetic of our kitchen. Displaying spices in a beautiful way is no easy task, but Evermill has nailed it, from their sleek jars to the perfectly crafted salt and pepper set. It’s a brand I recommend to every client, friend, and anyone who asks about my go-to kitchen essentials—Evermill is always at the top of my list. Use code “LIFEINJEN” for $20 off $150+
When it comes to appliances, we went all out with Thermador—except for the ice machine (since they don’t offer one). :) I’m in love with our French door fridge and the 48" range, but I’m especially thrilled we added the double under-counter fridge drawers for extra drink storage. Everything is panel-ready because, hello, gorgeous! And of course, our 5 ft sink over the pass-through window is a feature we can’t live without. Every inch of this kitchen was meticulously planned, and it truly reflects our attention to detail and love for functional beauty.
Working with YardZen to bring our dream backyard to life has been an incredible journey. From the start, I knew exactly what I wanted, but being a highly visual person (sorry to everyone who has ever worked on our house!), I needed to see the space come to life in a way that truly resonated with me. I gathered all my inspiration, exterior and yard must-haves, and submitted everything on their site. Let me tell you—when I saw the first rendering, my jaw dropped! It was like my dream yard had come to life before my eyes. Working with Kevin (huge shoutout to him!), he completely understood my needs, wants, and goals, and he brought it all to life—exceeding my expectations in every way. We're tackling this project in phases (hello, first home budget!), but we can clearly see the vision both short-term and long-term, and we couldn’t be happier. YardZen truly knocked it out of the park with our city plans, and the expertise they brought to the table has been invaluable. We have more to come, but we're already beyond thrilled with the results and couldn’t recommend them more. If you’re thinking about a backyard transformation, hire them—worth it 100X over!

And last but not least… Enter Polycade.
I haven’t received my Polycade (use this link for $100 off) arcade machine yet, but it’s coming soon, and I couldn’t be more excited! This is another dream item for our pool house, perfect for both kids and adults. I’m pretty competitive (sorry, fam!) but I have a deep love for old-school gaming—anyone else remember Tetris, Bubble Bobble, or Duck Hunt? Instead of a small, dusty Nintendo set where you have to blow out the dust (I’m laughing as I type this), I wanted something sleek, interactive, and fun for everyone. After searching online, I discovered Polycade, and it was exactly what I was looking for.
The Polycade Sente merges retro gaming with modern technology, resulting in an arcade machine that does more, plays more, and lasts longer than any other out there. With features like a high-quality powder-coated steel cabinet, modular controls, and the ability to play both retro and modern games, it’s going to be a game-changer—literally! I can’t wait to have this in our pool house for game nights and endless fun.
You will be seeing a LOT more of this on social media and so much more goodness to come. I have a BIG surprise that I am working on and let me tell you… it’s going to be GOOD.
