I continue to be amazed at all the beautiful blogs out there and Jen from Migonis Home is another blogger who I’ve recently run across on Instagram. Â She’s been blogging 5 years, so I have no idea how I’ve never been to her blog before. Â She and her hubby love fixing up houses and they bought their current older home 5 years ago and have been renovating it ever since. Â It’s charming and quaint in a small town in Massachusetts. Â I just love her style and what she’s done to this house and I think you will too!
Jen shares the story of how this house came to be in her Home story page and after driving by the house and falling in love, I loved how she wrote a letter to the homeowner telling them how much she and her husband loved the home and would love to raise a family in it. They ended up getting the house, even though it was out of their price range. Â The owners accepted their offer. I love stories like that!
They did some major renovations on the front of their house to improve symmetry and looks of the home and it is so cute and quaint.  A window was added  in the middle and a front porch across the front.
Front porches are so welcoming and great to have.
I love how simple and classic the front door is, with navy blue paint and numbers.
Inside has seen a lot of work too. Â Love this new jute runner that Jen added to her stairs.
The family room is a large space with several seating areas for entertaining.
Jen’s style is classic, yet modern.
The kitchen definitely speaks to my heart, with white cabinets and dark wood floors.
A tin backsplash creates a vintage feel and the marble countertops are just beautiful.
I love how it opens up to the dining area. Â Such a beautiful space, with the wainscoting on the walls. Â That adds such a nice touch.
A look at the sink, faucet and backsplash.
The master bedroom has a gorgeous fireplace and the bedding and striped curtains create a cozy haven.
Beautiful space to relax.
They have 2 children, a boy and a girl and both of their rooms are adorable.
Baby girl is in this nursery space.
Outside is equally charming with the addition of a pea gravel walkway to the backyard. Â I love how this looks and feels!
They’ve really worked on their outdoor spaces as well, making it comfortable for entertaining.
With blooming flowers and a nice backyard retreat, the Migonis home is just a beautiful space. I hope you’ll go and visit with Jen at her blog. She and her hubby have been flipping houses too and I’d say they have a knack for it. Â They have done a wonderful job with their own home and I love to see sad and neglected houses get a facelift, don’t you?
What a beautiful transformation … I especially love the kitchen and the way the pressed-tin surround echoes the gray walls. Fantastic job!
Thank you so much for the feature, Rhoda! You are wonderful. 🙂
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!
Oh, I love that backsplash! Reminds me of antique ceiling tiles.
Beautiful! The navy & mixed neutrals are stunning! I love the use of pea gravel as a softer alternative to concrete. Natural! Wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
WOW… Amazing!! Love the story behind this Cottage Re-do….. headed over to the “Migonis” home now!! Thank you so much for sharing Rhoda!!!
LOVE this beautifully decorated home. The colors are so peaceful. Great ideas to save. Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful family home 🙂 love everything about it!
What a beautiful, clean, refreshing look! Like you said, it’s classic yet modern. Uncluttered, yet still very cozy. Love her style!
This home looks so peaceful and calm. I love the floor color, and the way it looks with the beautiful white woodwork. Well done.
I check your blog each week hoping to see more of Buck and his beautiful home. Would love to see the outside gardens now that nice weather is here!
HI, Julie, Buck and I have talked and I’ll be going back to his house in the next few weeks to do an update garden post. So stay tuned!
