Oddly enough, one of the most intense debates that Sean and I have had over the kitchen renovation is about lighting! Apparently, we both have a lot of opinions when it comes to the finishes, shape, size, and location of the lighting. Who knew? Anyways, thankfully our lighting sponsor, Rejuvenation, has everything we need (and more) to choose lighting that will make both of us happy and compliment Sarah’s gorgeous design plan. Here are some of the options we considered + the combo we ultimately chose.

5 Clever Ways We Get More Storage in Our Tiny Bungalow

September 18, 2018September 19, 2018By JoannaPosted in home decor + interiors, small spaces

Whether you live tiny or not, everyone is hungry for more storage space, right? Every time I post to Instagram about our storage hacks, or even to ask for advice, I am blown away by how many people in ‘normal size’ homes can identify as well. Although I have to say, we tiny house folks usually have to get a bit more creative when it comes to finding places to tuck stuff away, especially if you live in an area with four seasons like Seattle (not to throw shade at residents of more temperate climates… they just don’t have to store as many coats!). And even though I’ve been working hard this year to eliminate “stuff”, we still have plenty small space challenges in #mytinybungalow. After three years of living small, we’ve picked up a few tricks along the way, so I wanted to share them with you today!

Stylish and Modern Cleaning Tools

September 10, 2018September 12, 2018By JoannaPosted in home decor + interiors

Let me preface this post by saying that I feel a bit like a lunatic talking to you about cleaning tools… but let me explain. Our house is an utter disaster right now because of the kitchen renovation, so all I can think about is when I finally get to do a deep clean. Not only is there dust everywhere, but there is stuff piled on every surface. We do our best to sweep, vacuum, and clean up on a daily basis, but it is next to impossible to keep things truly clean while living in a construction site. I digress. Anyways, I’ve been fantasizing about how lovely our home will be when this project is over and how much I’m going to love keeping it tidy. Then I realized that all of our cleaning tools are completely hideous, which has led to me shopping for stylish, modern options. In case you’re in the same boat, I thought you’d love to see a few alternatives to the standard issue broom, sponge, scrubbing brush, and whatnot.

Kitchen Demo Day + A Peek Inside The Walls

August 29, 2018September 18, 2018By JoannaPosted in home decor + interiors, my tiny bungalow, kitchen

Many thanks to our sponsors in this kitchen renovation: KitchenAid Appliances, MasterBrand Cabinets, Polycor, Fireclay Tile, Delta Faucets, Sinkology, & Rejuvenation. All opinions are my own and always will be! Thanks for supporting the content that keeps Jojotastic going.

Happy demo day!

After watching nearly every episode of Fixer Upper, I couldn’t wait until it was our turn to smash the kitchen… and what a day it was. With my pink hard hat on, I was so ready to peek inside the walls of our 110 year old house. When we renovated the bedroom, there was a small amount of demo involved, but this is the first time that I’ve ever gotten to rip apart this big of a space. Let’s just say it was extremely therapeutic…!

I’m always beyond excited to share more of my styling work with you guys, especially because taking on more styling projects is one of my goals for the year. Just last week, I shared huge news on Instagram: Value Village & Savers had approached me to design a living and entertaining space in a shipping container using only thrifted items. And I immediately asked, “Where do I sign??” Talk about the stars aligning! In celebration of National Thrift Shop Day, I teamed up the wonderful team at Value Village to shop at the store near me and pull together this dreamy, eclectic, modern space — that I desperately wish was mine! Come with me as I give you a tour of the small space + share tips on how to score incredible thrifted finds for yourself.

Our Backdoor Mini Makeover with Schlage

August 22, 2018August 27, 2018By JoannaPosted in home decor + interiors, my tiny bungalow, small spaces

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Schlage. The opinions and text are all mine.

I have a secret to confess to you… Did anyone notice that during my backyard oasis reveal, there was no mention of what our backdoor area looked like?? That’s because we ran out of time to finish it! Thankfully, we teamed up with Schlage again to do a quick, but impactful makeover in #mytinybungalow to finally finish the backdoor area. I was feeling really inspired by our previous collaboration when I did a quick bathroom door makeover — it’s sort of amazing what a fresh coat of paint plus new door hardware can do for a space. Of course, me being me, I made this makeover project a bit bigger than just some paint… instead, I asked Sean to install some custom wooden trim to the stair risers to make them a bit more exciting.
