Summary: You’re boyfriend has been working himself to near death. After getting a key to his apartment you decide to plan a special little surprise for him with a few gifts.

Mr. Love Queen’s Choice Fanfiction

It was a holiday and your company was closed, yet Kiro still had work today. You worried for him sometimes, his manager seemed to book him every day of the week and gave him little downtime to himself. It wasn’t like Kiro was an idol just starting his career either. The starlit was renown already, every girl’s fantasy young and old. You knew this, Kiro knew this, his manager surely knew this. Yet, Kiro still had an extremely unrelenting schedule that made him work holidays, his birthdays, and everything in-between. It made you sad to think about how far your boyfriend pushed himself. Just because you where a public figure didn’t mean you couldn’t have a personal life on the side. That was no way to live, yet Kiro never truly complained. He’d smile and push himself. That's why you wanted to make today extra special for him. 

It surprised you when Kiro was ever so willing to hand over a key to his loft when you asked. He didn’t even think twice just handed it to you with a cheery smile and told you to keep it. The gesture of having unlimited access to him made your heart swell. The undeniable trust he had in you to allow you into his personal space unsupervised was enough to choke you. You thanked him endlessly and he chuckled petting your head. 

“You’re my girlfriend!” Kiro exclaimed with a cheeky smile. “If I can’t share my personal space with you there would be a serious problem with our relationship!” The reassurance was nice, and you made a mental note to have a key to your own homemade for him. 

It’s been a few days since then, and you had everything you need to prep for the surprise you were planning for your little sunshine. Texting Kiro, you made sure he was already out of his home for the day. You didn’t want him to catch on to your plans as you made your way over, full bag in tow. You flushed carrying such items in public, but no one would really know what you had in your bookbag. You just looked like a normal girl with a bag, nothing more. Nothing was suspicious about you at all. It still did nothing to ease the tense you felt transferring such things. 

Soon enough you arrived without incident and let yourself into the building. The doorman was used to seeing you at this point. He greeted you cheerfully and you smiled back him hopping onto the elevator. The floors dinged by slowly, much too slowly until it reached Kiro’s floor. Stepping off you made haste to his apartment door and prayed the key actually worked. It did of course, and your doubt was foolish you knew. Kiro was an honest guy and wouldn’t do anything to embarrass you on purpose. 

You shut and locked the door behind you, leaned against it, and breathed. You made it. You were here. Opening your eyes and looked about the open concept loft with giant windows to let in natural light and keep it bright. It was a snazzy apartment, one that would make you faint if you saw the cost of rent for it. Sighing and scolding yourself thinking of the difference between your own and your boyfriend's salary. It didn’t matter, but you could feel the gap between the both of you there. 

Shaking yourself out of that mindset you walked into the living/dining/kitchen area and looked about. You had been here over a dozen times since you’re relationship took a serious leap in the romantic department. There was an electric fireplace and a huge mounted television above it. The leather couch that was super comfy where you and Kiro found yourselves mostly snuggled in a blanket together watching the newest releases with the glow of the fireplace…You smiled realizing you both haven’t actually finished a movie together. The night would end with you both making out and getting to know each other physically. 

Running your hand along the back of couch fondly you walked towards the kitchen and started stocking it with the goodies you had bought Kiro. There were some homemade meals you put in the freezer for him to heat up at a later date, and some sweet you made as well. You might not be the best cook, but you weren’t the type of girlfriend to let you hard working man go hungry either! Leaving a love note and a key to your own home on one of the lids, you shut the door. Once the kitchen was put together you clap your hands together to congratulate yourself on your good work. 

Now was the time to set up the main attraction of the night. Your cheeks lit up and your heart hammered. It was bold and daring, but Kiro had once mentioned being into it, and you were willing to try. Walking with a purpose you let yourself into Kiro’s bedroom. It was a mess, the sheets were tossed about. Not that it surprised you any, he was a bachelor and he mostly used his home to shower and sleep, you knew. Smiling at the mess you started to pick up after him. Not that you wanted to mom him, but it would take away from the surprise you spent the week setting up. 

Soon the Laundry in the hamper, and you were curious if he had a washer and dryer in the apartment, but decided to leave it. You didn’t want to overstep the boundaries you were unsure of. Next, you moved to the bed and fixed the sheets. Once it was all organized you moved to your bookbag with a deep breath. You gathered two pairs of handcuffs from within, and fuzzy covers to keep them from digging into the skin. You moved over to the bed frame and you latched onto one side of each pair onto it; a considerable amount of space apart. Tugging you made sure they wouldn’t give and then you smiled in victory. 

Next, you looked at the accessory you had bought your boyfriend. Biting your lip you clicked the switch and it hummed to life with a soft buzz and bounced in your hand. You were gauging size, the woman at the shop said it was the most common size and fit most men. You really hoped it fit right. If not it would be an idea for another time. You set it on the bedside table along with warming lube. The woman at the shop recommended it. 

Lastly, there was yourself to set up. You looked into the bag and bite your lip nervous. You brought your make-up supplies and a change of clothes. Grabbing the bag you made your way into the bathroom dropping Kiro a text, asking how long he thought his shoot would run. It didn’t take him long to reply with a couple of hours and asking if you wanted to meet up for dinner. Dinner did sound nice, but you had already made plans for the both of you. You texted back telling him you’ll be waiting in his apartment, which earned a favourable reply. 

Kiro: Make yourself at home! I’ll join you as soon as I can! I can’t wait to see you! Gah! Now I’m excited haha~ The rest of the shoot will go so slow just to torture me.

You giggled thinking of the handcuffs you placed on his bed frame. He honestly had no idea what you had up your sleeve. 

You: Mmmn. Might have to pamper you when you get back after such a long day!

Kiro: Stooooooop! This is agony! This is cruel! 

Kiro: I love you! I’ll be with you soon enough, I’m needed back. Got caught texting. Lolol. 

You smiled sending a kissy face emoji and then looked into the mirror. It was now or never and you mustered up your courage. You turned on a beauty tutorial and followed the steps until you managed to give yourself a beautiful smokey eye look. The liner and shadow were heavier than you were used too, and the matted non-smearing lipstick was a bold red. You almost didn’t recognize yourself, yet you felt like your confidence was boosted. Next, you worked on curling your hair until it fanned your features just right. You messed it a bit and you looked at the mirror in awe. You honestly couldn’t believe that was you looking back in the mirror… You looked sexy and fierce. 

You took a selfie of your dolled up appearance before you moved on to getting dressed. The panties where slinky and cute and the garter belt was white lace with red bows. Your new stockings went well over your thighs but short enough for the straps attaching them to the garter belt to stretch over your thighs. The bra was white with a red bow to match the garter. Shallowing thickly you looked at yourself clad in lace and silk in the mirror. It matched your make-up and hair-do… You felt pretty, cute, and sexy all at the same time and the lingerie actually felt nice against your skin. 

Again you took a selfie for yourself, just because you can, and then moved to grab the dress you bought. It was simple, casual, and pretty. It was pale pink and was high neck with a golden belt around the waist. The skirt flowed down your hips and stopped only a couple of inches down your thighs. Cute and short. Shorter than what you usually wore, and it teased the stockings and the straps connecting them to the Garter belt. The heels you picked were two inches high and gold like the belt. 

Fitting with your dress and gaining your balance in the shoes you looked in the mirror and twirled, understanding why girls loved to dress up for their boyfriends. You felt good in your new things, being all dolled up like this. Smiling you took another selfie now that you were actually fully dressed and sent it to Kiro. 

Not bothering to wait for his response you started to tidy up your stuff and pick up the countertop. Once you collected your things you looked down at your phone and saw twelve messages from a certain blond idol. Curious you opened them and giggled. They were gibberish spam mostly with a’ holy fuck my girlfriend is hot.’ in between. You smiled blushing to yourself glad Kiro seemed to appreciate how you got dolled up. 

Eventually, he calmed down and sent coherent messages 

Kiro: IS THAT MY BATHROOM!?!? Kiro: OH MAN! Are you at my place looking like that right now?!

Kiro: Why you gotta torture me like this, babe?

You: Got all pretty for you, don’t keep me waiting too long~

That was surprisingly flirty for you. You sighed l sitting on the edge of the bed and swung your legs back and forth waiting for Kiro to reply. The sun would be setting soon, and you knew he would have been awake early this morning for his physical training. Busy boy he was. 

Kiro: I just left.

Kiro: I just up and left 

Kiro: hang out, I’ll be home soon~

Well oops

You: I don’t want to get you in trouble! >:c

Kiro: Naw we were done with filming, no need for me other than appearances. Don’t worry about it. I’m getting in a taxi. See you soon! >:D

Your heart leaped into your throat as you powered down your phone and set it with the rest of your stuff. It was almost the moment of truth, and you felt both excited and nervous. Knowing he was on the other side of the city gave you a moment to breathe. What did girlfriends usually do when trying to seduce their boyfriends? You felt extremely out of your element. Kiro usually made the first move towards intimacy and it usually started cuddled on the couch. Where hands wandered too far and next thing you knew you were panting under him. 

This time it was different. Not that you didn't enjoy how you both loved each other before… 

For now, you were going to be in charge and in control of this situation. Blushing you stood to fret a moment with the bed sheets to make sure they were smooth before moving to the living room. You shut the bedroom door behind you and walking over to the electric fireplace. It hummed to life and threw heat as it came to life. You smiled at the warm light before walking over to the window. 

It was dusk now, the sky a light shade of indigo. Soon the stars would shimmer in the sky. You smiled watching the street below. Kiro was stepping out of the taxi and waving towards the doorman who said something. Kiro laughed and disappeared from sight. You took a deep breath. There was no time to back out now. You moved to sit on the sofa and used the remote to turn on the television, not caring about what was actually playing. 

Soon enough you heard a key in the door and the sound of the latch being turned. You didn't know if you should stay seated or stand. What did girls usually do in this situation? 

“Oh Miss Chips~” Kiro sang out, and you decided on standing as Kiro walked through the door shutting it behind him. Flushing you moved a stray curl behind your ear and his blue eyes went wide. 

"There's my beautiful girl." Kiro greeted with a bright beaming smile. 

“Welcome home.” You smiled warmly walking towards him, your heels making noise as you walked. Kiro’s eyes stayed trained to you as you glided over to him and his smile never faded. “I missed you.” 

“Ya, me too.” Kiro murmured wrapping his arms around you and pulling you into his strong frame. “It made me really happy to come home to you being here like this.” 

The honesty and the raw purity of his voice as he said that made you smile and wrap yourself around him. “I should do this more often then.” 

“Yaaa. I think I’d like that.” Kiro kissed the top of your head before releasing you. “You look beautiful today.” His smile had you melting. It was the one thing you had desperately wanted to see? since you started this whole thing.

You beamed and reached up to peck his lips. “Thank you!” You giggled stepping away from him and twirled around for him to see the entire look.

Kiro’s eyes followed your every movement before he cheered for you. “That dress looks super cute on you!” 

“Thank you!” You chirped kissing his jaw before spinning away from him smiled. “I have a surprise for you~” You cooed and Kiro’s face lit up like a kid on Christmas. You just hoped he looks that excited once he found out what exactly you had planned. 

“Babe~” Kiro chuckled. “You don’t have to do so much for me!” His smile never faltered though. 

“I want to spoil you.” You gasped looking at him and he let out a boyish giggle.

“Okay!” He agreed to the spoiling. “Only if I get to spoil you in return.” That had you smiling at him brightly.

“Deal!” You agreed easily, almost curious if he would plan a counter-spoil of what you had cooked up for him. You could only pray. 

“Oh! Right!” Kiro turned on his heel and started for his bedroom. Your heart dropped and you took off after him in a near panic. “I got something to show ya! It’s a new card that’s super rare!” He babbled excitedly as he entered the room. 

You stopped after he already entered and took in the surroundings. Face went beet red in embarrassment, kind of wishing you hadn’t been so bold.

“Whoa, so clean!” Kiro gasped before walking more into his bedroom. “You didn’t have- oh?” 

The mischief in Kiro’s eyes as he spied the ready handcuffs and your items on his bedside table had you nervous. He shot you a knowing smirk and turned his body towards you. “Y’know… When you said you had a surprise…” Kiro cleared his throat but looked at you with dark eyes that started to lid themselves. “You sure you want to do this, love?”

You took a deep breath and walked towards your boyfriend with an extra sway in your stride. “Positive.” You whispered resting your hands on his chest, Kiro’s heartbeat was smooth a calm, a contrast to your own hammering pulse. Your boyfriend rested his hands on your hips, pulling you closer. You could see your reflection in his eyes as he stared at you. “But only if you want- I might have overstepped- I’m so sorry- oh my god what was I thinking?”

“Hah~” Kiro smiled kissing you gently as his hands squeezed the swell of your hips. “Shhhh. This is the best surprise.” He soothed before kissing you with meaning. His hands travelled up the length of your sides. 

The dress hitched up to your already mostly exposed thighs, and you sighed arching yourself into him. Your tongue licked the seam of his lips and Kiro released a hot breath at the sensation, having his tongue eagerly meet yours. It didn’t take long for the mood to start getting steamy as you hung yourself off the starlit arching your tiny frame into his indecently. Not that Kiro seemed to mind at all as his hands took their time running the lines of your body. Gripping the fabric of your dress and tugging it in places, pressing his hips against yours.

“Are the cuffs for you or me,” Kiro asked voice thick and low, lips moving against yours.

“You.” You breathed and he groaned pressing his tongue deep within your mouth. You moaned and knees threatened to buckle under you. Kiro's hands gripped at you in need, and your own hands twist the front of his shirt trying to stay standing. 

Kiro's kiss then was all consuming and took your breath away. He was excited and that made you happy, he wanted you and trusted you enough to allow you to bind him. Welcoming the idea of handing his body and pleasure over to your capable hands. At least you hoped you were capable. Not that your boyfriend was really giving you time to dwell on the what-ifs as his hand snaked their way up to your stocking clad thighs and up to give your round bottom a squeeze. 

"Kiro." You breathed as he needed the supple flesh of your cheeks and spread them. Your silk panties were rising up the slit of your pussy adding delightful friction. Needless to say, you were putty in your boyfriend very capable hands. 

"You're so fucking perfect." The starlit whispered against your lips his fingers getting brave as they ran the line of your throbbing cunt and he tugged the fabric of the panties against your sensitive folds. “Did you work yourself up for me before I got home?” He taunted at how receptive you were as you shivered in his arms. “Did you touch yourself? Take advantage of my home before I got here, babe?” You moaned and Kiro ran his tongue over your teeth as his fingers pressed your panties into your clit and moved in slow agonizing motions.

The dirty talk was a weakness and Kiro knew this. He wasn’t playing very fair as his other hand ran up the skirt of your pretty dress and brought it up. Impatiently you grabbed the dress and pulled it over your head, it wasn’t the surprise you had for your boyfriend anyway. When the kiss broke and you removed the article of clothing azure eyes watched and opened a slight millimeter when you reveal your undergarments. Flush prickled at your cheeks as you threw the dress in some direction, eyes locked with the ones before you. 

Kiro was an appreciative lover, his eyes trailed to soaked in the new lingerie and took the time to bask in your wonder. “You look beautiful.” His eyes meet yours again, hands tracing your exposed sides. “You’re so stunning.” 

Smiling at how wonderstruck he sounded you reached up to cup his jaw. “I love you.” You whispered placing delicate kisses to his chin. Kiro offered you a boyish grin and swooped in to kiss you once more. While lips locked and tongues met in a passionate dance, your fingers traced his chest aiming for the bottom of his shirt. Once reaching your destination you let your hand slipped under his shirt and felt your way up the lean figure of his torso. Fit. 

Kiro momentarily stopped the kiss to peel off his t-shirt and threw it to join your discarded dress. He wrapped an arm around your waist and pressed you both together once more. The passionate and consuming kiss resumed. His hand ventured up your spine and finally to the clasp of your bra. With expert ease, he got it loose and the straps fell from your shoulders. Kiro kissed down your neck then your shoulders, his fingers pulling the straps off of you and threw the bra across the room with purpose as he sucked your pressure points. “It was cute, but it looks better over there,” Kiro whispered in your ear. His hot breath tickled your earlobe sending goosebumps raising all across your body. 

You mewl caressing any and all skin exposed to you. "I want you." You gasped as his hand found one exposed breasted and started palming the flesh. His fingers grazed your nipple but never stayed long. Just enough to have you gasping whenever he made contact. The flat of his tongue ran the column of your throat before his head lifted and he looked at you with pure desire. 

"How do you want me, miss chips?" Kiro taunted licking your lips and finally captured your nipple between his forefinger and thumb rolling it gently. Your breath left you as you fell into him as the action caused your cunt to throb and pulse. "You want control?" Kiro whispered on your lips. 

"Th-that was the ahhh~ Kiro~" Your voice pitched as his other hand found it was between your thighs once more and under the silk of your panties. They spread you wet sex and caressed every sensitive inch of you. "Stop cheating!" You gasped burying your face in his shoulder and he chuckled tapping your clit. "Ah." You breathed as your legs wobbled. Soon a soothing circular motion started and your eyes flutter in pleasure and a low moan escaped you. You’ve been worked up for so long it was almost overwhelming.

“Moan my name.” Kiro murmured picking up his speed, his arm held on to you keeping you upright. 

Sparks of pleasure danced behind your eyelids as rubbed and pleased you. “Kiro~” You moaned loud and proud. He grunted in return and started to be merciless. Your cries of pleasure picked up as you rocked your hips in rhythm with his touch. “I’m gonna cum!” You gasp as your fingers tightened into a fist against his chest, and Kiro made a pained sound when you accidentally pinched his skin, but you were too far gone to notice. The first wave of your orgasm wrecked you, and Kiro kept his pace fast and punishing. You sobbed as your orgasm washed over you and drifted your mind away from reality. 

“Good girl~” Kiro purred into your ear running his fingers up and down the length of your sex soothing you. “Keep the belt and stocking, lose the underwear.”

“Okay.” You agreed meekly and Kiro helped you gain your balance before reaching down to undo his buckle and pants, sliding them down his narrow hips. You watched enthralled with the strip scene in front of you. Marveling in the way his half erected dick sat at the juncture of his thighs.

“Panties.” Kiro chuckled winking at you with his usual boyish smile. “It’s not as fun if I’m the only one naked. 

Truthfully it would never stop giving you whiplash how fast Kiro can go from male succubus to boyish innocence in the blink of an eye. Coming back to earth you tugged down your panties and dropped them to the ground blushing under his gaze as he watched and waited for you.

"Do you have to stare?" You asked with a red face kicking your panties away from you feeling shy. 

"Said miss peeping chips!" Kiro laughed stepping towards you. "But I don't mind if you see me naked." Kiro's dipped sex as he pecked you on the lips. "You're beautiful, and I just can never seem to take my eyes off you." He confessed and you smiled. "It's like: Holy shit this amazingly talented and driven woman is my girlfriend? She's cute and sexy. Has the best damn laugh in the world and greater ass!" You tapped your hand against his chest creating a soft slap sound, and he lit up with laughter. 

Still chuckling a little Kiro leaned in and his lips ghosted your ear lobe. "I guess what I'm trying to say is, you leave me breathless." 

You hummed embracing him, holding you close to you feeling warm and fuzzy. "It's the same for me with you." You confessed. "And as much as I'd love to get into all the things I love about you-" You smirked running your fingers down his bicep. "I'd rather have you tied to your bed and at my mercy. 

That groan.

That noise Kiro produced at your words

It knocked the air out of you and restarted your engine. 

With a quick kiss, Kiro pulled away from you and walked over to the bed. You watched as he made himself comfortable and sprawled out necked for your viewing pleasure.

"Like this?" Your boyfriend asked with his eyes shimmering in excitement.

"Just like that." You cooed walking over to the bed.

Kiro watched you bound his arms to the bed frame. "Is that too tight?" You asked and he pulled on his restraints. 

"They’re just right." Kiro informed you looking at you like you were the most divine creature on the planet "All we're missing now is the blindfold." 

"If you want one, I'm sure we can find something to use." You started turning to eye the room for such an object. 

"Naw." Kiro smiled gaining back your attention. "I want to watch as my stunning girlfriend rides me." 

You flushed and balk at that comment. Suddenly you felt shy under his gaze. "Kiro." You warned and he offered a cheeky grin in return.

"What?" Kiro asked in a low sensual tone. "Is it so wrong for me to want to look at you, baby?"

You sighed and smiled. "Watch me, Kiro." You whispered leaning down and bestowed a sensual kiss upon him. "All you have to do is lay back and enjoy." With that, you pulled away from him watching the twinkle of excitement in his crystal eyes. 

"Give me your worse." Kiro cooed making himself comfortable against his pillows. 

You eyed him grabbing the cockring and playing with it. "Might want to be careful what you ask for, Kiro~" You purred his name and his watched his cock jump. "I need you soft for this to go on." 

Kiro swallowed thickly eyeing the rubber ring in your hands. "Yup… Uh huh. A moment." He proceeded to take a breath to remove the blood that had engorged his member. 

"If you want it off, or it's uncomfortable to tell me." You explained crawling onto the bed beside him. His eyes watched you with a spark of curiosity. 

"Sure thing." Kiro easily agreed and you reached for his mostly soft member. A soft sound left him as you rolled it down his cock to the base. "Balls too." He breathed the request and you used two fingers to stretch the rubber band. 

"It might be too tight." You worried and Kiro shook his head, his chest rising and falling in shallow breaths.

 As if performing surgery you pushed one of his testicles through the ring and he sucked in a breath and told you to continue. Soon the second joined and the cockring sat against his groin tightly causing his genitals to swell and you gave the length a lick.

"Perfect," Kiro assured you before you circled the tip of your tongue around the head. “You’re perfect!” He gasped. 

You looked up at him through your long lashes as you took the tip into your mouth and gave it a gentle suck, tasting the sweet precum that built up.  "Yessss, baby. Just like that." Kiro breathed and you hummed swirling your tongue before dipping further down his shaft. Out of reflex his hips rocked upwards making you take more of the length into your mouth. You moaned bobbing your head, pressing your thumbs into his hip bones to keep him still. "God that's hot." He cooed and you looked up into his dazzling baby blues as they took in the scene before him. "I love watching my cock disappear between those beautiful lips of yours." 

The dirty talk was fueling you. Fanning the flame of desire that has been simmering as an after since you bound your boyfriend. You palmed and massaged his balls as you bobbed your head faster by allowing your cheeks to hallow. The noises you pulled from your lover only encourage you to toy and play with him more. A hard suck caused the muscles in his abdomen to flex and you brought your mouth off of him with a pop. "Ahhh." Kiro moaned still watching you as you palm his nuts and started to pump his shaft. 

"You comfortable, baby?" You cooed and he shoots you a smirk and made a show of relaxing back against the pillows while you kiss down the length of his fuller erect member. 

"I'm feeling so good!" The starlit assured you before glancing back down watching you tiny hand run the length of his impressive member. Truthfully you loved the weight of it in your hand and the soft sighs and groans you could pull from your verbal and expressive boyfriend.  

After a couple more squeezes and pumps you removed your hand, and Kiro let out a cry of protest. You smirked at him as you straddled his waist and ran your nails lightly over his chest and stomach. Kiro watched you closely memorizing every move you made as you spread yourself over his body. 

You wet folds came in contact with his engorged member and he hissed out a moan in the best way. “You’re so fucking wet.” Kiro sighed and you throbbed with desire, but you wanted to make it extra good for him before you allowed him to enter you. 

Adding your own sounds of excitement you rubbed the wet silk of your pussy over the rigid cock below. Kiro’s back arched under you and his eyes screwed shut as a whimper escaped him. You moaned pressing kisses all over his broad chest. Our hands made tracks with your nails were they explored every contour of his fit and toned body. The heat and shape of his cock felt heavenly as you ground your soaked cunt over it lost in need now. Still careful you only left evidence of your intimacy with the starlit in places that wouldn’t catch the eye. 

You sucked Kiros nipple and ground so the tip of his erection dipped into your entrance. A whimper like whine of your name left his lips, and your pussy pulsed at the sound and teasing. “Pleeease,” Kiro whispered his head lulled to the side as his cerulean peaked open to look at you and you rocked against him again. “Please.” Kiro breathed heavily and writhed within his restraints as his pelvis lifted to seek friction from you. You marveled at the way his muscles tightened and danced under his skin. 

Sweat had built up on Kiro’s brow making his bangs stick to the sides of his face, Already he looked wrecked and pride bloomed in your chest. You did this to him. You made this beautiful man pant, whine, beg, and plead with you. “I love you.” You whispered leaning up to press sweet kisses to his face and lips.

“I love you.” Kiro murmured back licking your lips as his hips moved up and down involuntarily seeking any type of friction.

You cupped his cheek and gazed down at him smoothing your fingers over the lusty blush that took to his features. “I’m going to turn it on.” And Kiro arched under you as you said that.

“Fuck,” Kiro whispered gazing up at you like a blond sex god as he sprawled out and muttered his profanity at the mention. “Fuck, please.” Kiro bit his bottom lips and you sat up and reached around to grip his throbbing member. The moan that left him as you pumped his length should’ve been illegal as your nipples perked and pebbled at the sound. After a few pumps, you gripped the cockring and pressed the button on the side. Kiro’s whole body almost came off the bed and left you into the air with him as the toy buzzed to life. You felt the precum roll down the side of his cock and you moaned in excitement. “Yessss.” Kiro moaned as his cock jumped and moved as he relaxed under the vibrations. 

"I could just leave you here like this." You taunted and he whined twisting in the sheets. "Watch as the vibrations slowly bring you to climax." Kiro let out a low needy groan and you felt powerful. 

"I don't think I could handle that." He speaks breathlessly as his face screwed up in pleasure and pain. Desperate for you. "I need you to fuck me."

Moving further back on him and lined your entrance with the tip of his cock. Kiro nodded taking deep breaths to brace himself for more pleasure as you slowly descended down onto him, taking him into your body at long last. You moaned in unison as he stretched your walls, and the lines of his cock pressed into the most delicious places. 

Once you were fully seated you felt the cock ring vibrate and play with the folds of your pussy causing you to keel over on him was a deep moan. “So good.” You breathed trying to get a grip of yourself. 

“Fuck me!” Kiro whined rocking his hips making the ring press on your swollen and sensitive ring. “Please, I need you to fuck me hard.” 

Who were you to refuse when Kiro asked you sooo nicely. Moaning and gasping you started to rock your hips back and forth trying to find an angle that suited you. Palms flat to Kiro’s chest you found leverage to lift yourself and rotate your hips more. Every breath, gasp, moan, groan, whisper that came from the man beneath you went straight to your cunt. You moaned lifting yourself up and then pressed back down to Kiros dismay as he cried out. “That’s it baby!” encouraging you to keep going. 

Eventually, you did find a rhythm that had you both breathless, sweaty, and moaning. Your nails left crescent moon shapes in his chest as you used his cock to repeatedly hit your g-spot and the vibrations to tease your clit. There was a building tight almost burning tension in the pit of your stomach. You ached and felt pleasure snapped throughout your entire nervous system as you’re hips almost moved on autopilot impaling yourself with your boyfriend's cock again and again.  Rubbing your clit furiously against his pelvic bone as you brought yourself closer to your high. Crystal sapphire eyes struggled to keep open and watch you as you bounced and gilded yourself along his length. Watching how your face screwed up in pleasure and exhaustion from your efforts. The bed frame slammed against the wall as you rode Kiro with urgency.

Suddenly something snapped and you whole face distorted in pure unadulterated pleasure. The waves where powerful as you screamed out Kiro’s name and shook almost violently from above. You arms locked to keep you upright. Kiro was breathless writhing under you needy sob like sounds leaving his throat. His hands clenched into fists as he strained against the bounds. With leverage, Kiro fucked up into you as you released a gush of your own juices down his cock and the walls of your cunt pulsed greedily against him. “Fuck babe!” He moaned as his hips fucked you through your intense orgasm, showing up the power his body possessed as he relied on his thigh and abdominal strength to keep going. 

Once one last blinding crash of pleasure overtook your body like an unsuspected tsunami you clasped and Kiro rocked his hips slowly. “Remove the ring!” He whispered in urgency as his chest rose and fell rapidly. It didn’t take long for you to snap out of your post-orgasmic haze and do what was bided of you. Carefully you lifted yourself off of him and you sat between his thighs on your stocking clad knees. Stroking his red and angry erection trying to soothe him, you turned off and removed the ring. 

“FUCKING SHIT! FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK!” Kiro sobbed as soon as the ring was rolled over and his entire body thrashed against the restraints and tears rolled down his face. “Keep jerking me! GOD DON’T STOP!” Doing as he bid of you felt the rigid flesh of his cock pulse almost uncontrollably as white ribbons came out in long hard shots marking both you and him in warm cum. Kiro was sobbing openly begging for anything to soothe the built-up load to finish as he contorted and jerked his hips wildly. “I can’t-holyfuck!” Kiro gasped as the last and biggest shot of cum left his body.

 You pumped for a moment more making sure he was completely done before releasing his now softening member. “Shit!” Kiro breathed trying to collect himself after such a strong orgasm. You smiled rubbing his hips trying to sooth his tremors.

“You okay?” You whispered after a moment moving to grab the key for the cuffs and released him. Kiro brought down his arms and laid there panting teary eyes staring at the ceiling. 

“That was absolutely fucking amazing.” He panted before turning his gaze towards you and you smiled pushing his wet bangs from his face. “You are absolutely fucking amazing.” Your fingers combed his matted hair. 

“I’m glad.” You chirped with a bright smile, and Kiro rolled his body towards yours. 

“I’ve already thought of how I’m going to return this.” Those dazzling baby blues sparkled with mischief and he smiled. “I’ll surprise you next time!” 

Nodding you leaned over and placed a soft kiss to his lips. “I look forward to it.” You kissed him again. “Truly can’t get enough of you.”

“Whoa! It’s like you like-like me or something~” Kiro teased and you pinched him playfully gaining your favourite sound in return. Kiros gleeful laughter.  ~~~~~~~~~ SUPER SPECIAL THANK YOU TO MY QUEEN: @alloveroliver Who did a beta read and help edit this piece of art!

Small Man Cave Ideas

Modern Laundry Room

Consider seat pinning as a more affordable alternative to digging out a basement. The laundry area of this renovated basement was created to be bright and clean with lots of storage.  Simple drawers and cabinets maintain everything from linens to sports equipment organized and out of sight.  A farmhouse sink and industrial design faucet and art lined across the countertop make the decoration more worthy of a main-floor space than a basement for chores.  Accessories like fitting canisters and a dim tray finish off the look.

Refreshed Laundry Room

If you may 't manage to proceed pipes, keep the sink and dress it up with a fabric skirt attached with double-sided Velcro. H&H design editor Sarah Hartill gave her basement laundry room a quick and effortless makeover by covering an old sink rack with a pretty floral skirt and including a picture print rug to warm up the chilly floor tile.  A countertop constructed to match over the laundry machines provides a folding coating, while simple stainless steel shelves shop various materials.

Repurpose old furniture instead of buying new.

Gardener and designer Barbara Purdy transformed a wood-burning fireplace to gasoline to create a cosy focus in this room.  I couldn't see myself hauling logs down the staircase, she says.  Radiant heating installed under the wood-look porcelain-tile flooring adds much more heat.  The couch, a hand-me-down from her parents, was regained and layered with pillows. Tour this basement on Online TV, and find more inspiration in our photo galleries of Barbara Purdy Designs, Budget Basement Decorating Tips and Suzanne Dimma's Favourite Dreamy Retreats.

Bright Laundry Room-Pinch pennies with MDF cupboards and add your trim.

H&H senior editor Meg Crossley turned into this unfinished basement laundry room into a laundry oasis.  Improper venting meant the washer and dryer had to be transferred to the opposite wall, in which they're currently hidden by bi-fold doors.  Meg also included a convenient sink with a kitchen-worthy faucet, an upper shelf and lower cabinets for additional storage.  A contractor cut door fronts out of MDF, and then Meg added Shaker trim for a custom look.  To give the basement an airy feeling, the area had been painted white.  Sico's Light Sugar (4150-11), an aged white, makes the ceilings seem higher without feeling sterile or cold.  The cupboards were painted robin's egg blue for a country-inspired look.

Dark TV Area-Accessorize with cheap vintage finds.

It seems counter intuitive to paint your basement ceiling and walls in such a darkened color, however, stylist Arren Williams kept the space bright with mood light.  The undermount light in the high-gloss storage units highlights our collections, states Williams.  This contemporary design has a manly feel without crying out bachelor pad.

Craft Area-Plan for multiuse corners to optimize functionality in a little basement.

This laundry room doubles as a storage room, craft area and wrapping centre.  Cabinetry constructed along the wall opposite the appliances holds lightbulbs, batteries, extra garbage bags and other household materials.  A pegboard equipped with hanging containers and tiny sticks keeps craft and wrap materials arranged while an adjoining corkboard displays inspirational photographs for craft and reno projects.  Open shelves have been placed high on the walls to add storage space without making the small room feel closed in; bins and baskets are used here in order to keep modest things corralled.

How I Hide Cleaning Products in Plain Sight

The new laundry room carries a fun little secret: all of the ugly crap is plainly accessible, but not really something you see when you look into the room.

Granted, a great deal of the time, there are distractions — like when I do an entire load of red things…

But, for the most part, my makeover project has given me something I’ve always desired: a laundry room and a system that works.

When I first revealed the room last month, one or two of you guys commented that you wanted to know if the picture was just the “pretty” version where I took out the more unsightly cleaning supplies and styled it sans clutter-y stuff. Because, you know — we home bloggers sometimes do that.

But those of you who have been following this blog long enough probably already know the answer: I’m both way too lazy and way too incompetent unprofessional as a stylist to pull that kind of stunt intentionally. I mean, I’ve literally blogged about bug poop before. Poop.

So, the answer? It was actually yes and no. Mostly, no. The only thing that’s normally in the room that wasn’t in the picture at the time was a bottle of bleach, but that’s because I was out. The rest — detergent pods, the lint trash can, the dryer sheets — it’s all there!

Here’s how it breaks down (note: some links contain affiliates):

Dryer sheets — you see that decorative basket on the counter? I picked it up from World Market on clearance a while back, but it’s juuuuust big enough to store dryer sheets in. Granted, I have to toss the box in order to put them in this container, but it adds a fresh linen scent to the rest of the room since the basket isn’t airtight, which is win/win for me.

Forgive the cell phone pics. My DSLR broke and I’m still learning how to use the big professional replacement one that intimidates me.

Laundry pods — I’ve been using laundry pods since I first bought the new washer and dryer, and this ceramic container (pictured below) has been where I stored them both before and after the makeover. I bought the container from Goodwill and had originally intended on using it for plants like I did with the others along the window shelf, but since it also came with a lid (of which, I actually would like to darken with a little bit of my favorite wood restorer to match the countertop), the pods fit in nicely without being seen.

Lint trash — one of the better upgrades in the room from how it was before is kind of stupid in its simplicity. Before, I took a poorly executed DIY rope project and had used it as a trash can for a couple of years.

The problem with it was that it was WAY too large for the purpose of throwing away lint (I do have a lot of it because of Charlie’s shedding, but it was still too big). It took a lot of lint to fill this thing, and the end result was that until a trash can is full, I’ll totally ignore it. So, when room makeover time came, I decided to switch to something smaller and more easily hidden.

The laundry room’s layout is kind of an L-shape; on the other side of this wall is the downstairs powder room, leaving a tiny wall that faces the washer and dryer but is not directly visible from the doorway. So I devised a new plan, taking a few pieces of scrap molding left over from the photography equipment stand in my office. With a little wood glue and some paint, I fashioned a small lip that would act as a hook of sorts, and screwed it onto the wall at about knee height (low enough that any items that were hanging to dry above would not touch it).

Then, I took a small container I found from a shopping spree at my BFF and hung it on the wall (the small lip on the back of the container hooks right onto the makeshift spot I created). It blends in with the white wall color easily, has just enough storage for a few loads of laundry’s worth of lint, and can be dumped out in no time flat (with the rope basket, the lint would cling or get trapped, requiring two hands to clean it out, where this requires only dumping it into the kitchen garbage). Easy solution to an annoying problem! It’s directly across from the door to the dryer, so whenever I empty out the lint trap with each load, it’s right where I need it but not in the way. And sure, I could make it more decorative (for a time, I considered a possible washi tape project), but I prefer the plainness since it makes it more invisible.

Lesser Used Items — things like dry cleaning bags, refill bags and boxes of laundry supplies, etc. are tucked away in the room too, but since I don’t need or use them on a weekly basis, they are stored in the baskets I keep on the top shelf.

So, there you have it: a small number of tweaks, but they have (surprisingly) led to a laundry room that I manage to keep looking spiffy and clean virtually all the time (that red laundry pic you saw up there is mid-folding, but I wanted to keep things real!).

In a future post, I’ll expand a little more on the topic, but I’m kind of surprised at myself lately: I, the perpetual and always-joking-about-not-cleaning slob, might actually be making this house more organized for the long haul.

A house that is finally turning into a home after years of labor: who’da thunk it?

$850,000 Homes in California – The New York Times

Cambria | $849,000

An 1865 house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, on a 0.64-acre lot

Believed to be the oldest continuously inhabited house in San Luis Obispo County, this clapboard cottage is called Music House, after the name of early owners. It is on the east end of Main Street in Cambria, an unincorporated coastal community halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco (about 230 miles each way), and 10 miles south of Hearst Castle. The area has a large quantity of second homes and a notable dearth of chain stores. You can bicycle to Moonstone Beach in less than 15 minutes.

Size: 1,406 square feet

Price per square foot: $604

Indoors: The owners bought the property in 2015 and, working with local contractors and artisans, made improvements to every room. They stripped walls and repainted them in period colors, refinished wood trim, refurbished and rehung old doors they discovered on the property, and updated the plumbing and electrical systems.

The front parlor, which has vintage wood floors, a restored chandelier and walls painted a Victorian eggplant color, connects to a formal dining room with a bead-board ceiling. Beyond the dining room is a kitchen with refinished original cabinetry, butcher-block countertops, tile and bead-board wall surfaces and a farmhouse sink.

A pair of parlor doors with etched-glass panes opens to a main-floor bedroom or study. This room has use of a bathroom with a walk-in shower and a marble sink on a vintage wrought-metal base. Nearby is a laundry area with a stacked washer and dryer. The parlor also leads to a family room that has a trio of large windows facing the street.

A staircase in the family room takes you upstairs, where there are two bedrooms with angled bead-board ceilings, and a bathroom with a skylight and a walk-in shower.

Outdoor space: There is a rocking-chair front porch and two rear patios, one paved in brick and the other in flagstone. The property is terraced and planted with oaks, evergreens and flowering shrubs; a large portion is devoted to native vegetation. A detached garage with a polished concrete floor has a single door but room for two vehicles.

Taxes: $10,613 (estimated)

Angels Camp | $850,000

A converted farmhouse with three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, on a 16.84-acre lot

Originally part of a sheep farm, this house is in the Sierra foothills, 130 miles east of San Francisco and 75 miles southeast of Sacramento. In 2005, it was bought and renovated by a craftsman and an antiques collector. They passed it along to their daughter, who recently operated it as a short-term rental called La Casa Pavone, or Peacock House.

The home is a mile and a half northeast of Angels Camp, a Gold Rush city in Calaveras County that is best known for its annual frog-jumping competition and has become popular with second-home owners and wine country tourists. Murphys, a village with 17 wineries and tasting rooms, is nine miles northeast.

Size: 1,683 square feet

Price per square foot: $505

Indoors: The main entrance is into a living room with polished wood floors, big windows and a beamed ceiling. All three features continue into the adjacent eat-in kitchen, which has traditional-style brown cabinets, stone countertops, a five-burner GE Monogram gas range and a double farmhouse sink. The ground-floor master bedroom has a sink and claw-foot tub in the main space and, in a private area, a walk-in shower and toilet. There is also a laundry room on this floor.

Upstairs are two additional, A-shaped bedrooms and an area on the landing that could be used as a third sleeping area. The upstairs bathroom off the landing has a claw-foot tub and a pedestal sink.

A root cellar accessible from outside is used to store wine and has a staging area for serving guests.

Outdoor space: The house has a wraparound porch and a raised gravel patio, as well as a large gravel yard with a firepit and log seats next to a barn. The property includes sculpted hedges, a bamboo maze and a small studio building with electricity.

Taxes: $10,625 (estimated)

Chula Vista | $859,000

A 2004 house with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, on a 0.21-acre corner lot

This home is in Rolling Hills Ranch, one of 23 planned neighborhoods in Chula Vista, which are organized around community centers, with nearby parks and swimming pools. It is on the eastern edge of the city, 18 miles southeast of San Diego and 16 miles northeast of Tijuana, Mexico. (Residents often use the Tijuana International Airport, which is only 14 miles away.) The Otay Ranch Town Center, an outdoor shopping mall that includes restaurants, movie theaters and salons, is about four miles southeast.

Size: 2,825 square feet

Price per square foot: $304

Indoors: A previous owner made a large investment in custom woodwork, adding coffered ceilings, open beams, carved mantels, paneled doors and a curving staircase with turned balusters.

The grand entrance has wide wood floorboards that continue through most of the main floor, and a double-height ceiling. Dutch interior doors open to a living room with a coffered ceiling and arched built-in shelves with mirrored backs. A room that was formerly a fifth bedroom was converted into a den with a wall of built-in bookshelves. It is across from a bathroom with a combined tub and shower.

Running along the back of the main floor is a succession of rooms, including a white eat-in kitchen with natural stone countertops and a farm-style center island. The kitchen flows into a family room with dark ceiling beams and a pink stone fireplace and hearth, and French doors opening to a patio. On the other side of the kitchen is a bedroom with an en suite bathroom that has a combined tub and shower.

Upstairs, the master suite has white-painted floorboards and a bathroom with a soaking tub, a walk-in shower and a makeup vanity next to the sink. Two additional bedrooms share a bathroom with a combined tub and shower.

Outdoor space: Double-decker porches supported by columns run along the front of the house (one of the upstairs bedrooms has direct access). A pergola tops part of the rear patio, which has ample space for outdoor entertaining. A community park with a playground is across the street.

Taxes: $10,738 (estimated)

#120: The Big Fight We Had Over A Microwave

Remember when we got into it over a refrigerator back in Episode #74? Well, the location of an appliance recently had us battling over two different kitchen layouts – this time for the duplex. So this week we’re sharing our competing perspectives on form versus function, and how we finally came to a compromise that checks both boxes (but not until I spent a few days cooling off). We’re also sharing why this stage of the duplex renovation is especially brain-bending, and what we’ve come to realize about hitting a wall… and then getting yourself over it. Plus, a solution to an age-old problem in our home office, an update on Sherry’s weighted blanket, and an easy upgrade to a money-saving tool that we use at home. Oh yeah, and we solved our weird locked-out-of-Instagram problem!

You can download this episode from Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn Radio, and Spotify – or listen to it below! Note: If you’re reading in a feed reader, you may have to click through to the post to see the player.

What’s New

I was able to snap a few photos over the weekend in Cape Charles of the tile finished, but things were a little messy in some of the rooms in preparation for floor refinishing, so we’ll share some other shots a little later – most likely in that big tiling blog post Sherry promised.

In the meantime, you can check out all of our tile selections here.

Updates

If you missed the original discussion of Instagram hacking and the issue we were having, check out Episode #118.

And if you want to hear more about Sherry’s weighted blanket, it was originally discussed in Episode #79.

This is the weighted blanket we have – and here’s that more affordable option without the removable cover (both are 12 pounds and about 4′ x 6′).

Duplex Kitchen

I know some of what we described in this episode will make more sense with these photos, so let’s start with this picture of the kitchen we took last month. This is actually of the RIGHT side, but I flipped it since all of my renderings show the LEFT side. I figured it would be easier to follow that way. I’m standing in the living room and the wood doors on the left open to the mudroom / laundry room, and you can see the exposed brick chimney there in the back right.

Before I show you all of the bland renderings, remember that this is one of our inspiration images (for the right side, at least). The left side, which we’re showing in these plans, will have the blue-green cabinets with pink patterned tile. So yeah – pattern and color are on the agenda for the duplex since it’s going to be used entirely as a weekly rental. Felt like a good place to have some fun.

Below is the ORIGINAL layout Sherry and I had been working off of, which included the over-the-range microwave. This was made using Ikea’s Home Planner, which is free. It’s not perfect (you can only import Ikea products) but if you’re ordering their cabinetry, it’s a great way to organize your order and see it all in 3D from a bunch of different angles. We discussed a few other 3D home planning tools in this post.

You can see how the upper cabinets conceal a lot of the exposed brick (shown in red – although in real life they’re pretty whitewashed – see the kitchen photo). NOTE: We’re only ordering cabinets from Ikea, so the appliances, hardware, and countertops are just placeholders. This also doesn’t show things like our patterned tile and open shelves, so you’ll have to use your imagination.

When we eliminated the upper cabinets and tried a hood like this one instead, suddenly more of the brick are exposed from this vantage point (which is the main view of this room from the living & dining room). So it’ll no longer look like “a box of bricks sitting on the counter.”

Here’s the difference shown from another angle. This is the view from the mudroom / laundry room with all of the upper cabinets we originally thought we should add. More of the chimney would’ve been visible from here, and we envisioned putting some floating shelves or small ledges on it.

And this is how that vantage point looks with the new plan. Again, there will be colorful patterned tile and floating shelves so it won’t look as stark (and we may even try a shiplap treatment along the stove wall). But either way, it’s definitely a more open feeling and that brick chimney is less covered up than it would have been in the original plan.

The rendering below illustrates some of the cabinetry we’ll be gaining in the adjacent mudroom to create a nice pantry-ish extension from the kitchen. That wide doorway is where those wood pocket doors were in the original photo – so these cabinets would only be about 5 steps from the sink. Ikea isn’t great for rendering laundry spaces (which is why my washer & dryer is actually a refrigerator) but you get the idea. And above the washer & dryer will be a cabinet to the ceiling.

As a reminder, these are the cabinet colors and tiles that are going on either side of the duplex. All of our upper cabinets and mudroom cabinets will be white. You can see this post for more info & mood boards of our duplex selections.

We’re Digging

Below is a photo of our new printer that still fits nicely within the IKEA storage cabinet we got over 7 years ago to house our old one. This piece is no longer sold (the bottom is a file drawer!) but it has held up really well for us, even though our kids added some artwork to the inside of the door.

We used to have to fold out and fill the paper tray every time we wanted to print something, but this printer stores paper in a hidden drawer on the bottom. Plus, I just learned it prints two-sided sheets!

I picked up the printer at Target, and here’s where you can learn more about the HP Instant Ink service we’re trying out.

And this is the new hair-clipper/trimmer that Sherry is loving. And you can check out that original post where she shares her DIY haircutting techniques. It’s very embarrassing, but here’s the video:

And if you’re looking for something we’ve dug in a past episode, but don’t remember which show notes to click into, here’s a master list of everything we’ve been digging from all of our past episodes. You can also see all the books we’ve recommended on our Book Club page.

And lastly, a big thank you to Universal Furniture for sponsoring this episode. They’ve teamed up with Coastal Living Magazine for a whole new home collection called “Escape,” which captures that relaxed beachy feel. You can check it out at UniversalFurniture.com/YHL.

Thanks for listening!

#120: The Big Fight We Had Over A Microwave

Remember when we got into it over a refrigerator back in Episode #74? Well, the location of an appliance recently had us battling over two different kitchen layouts – this time for the duplex. So this week we’re sharing our competing perspectives on form versus function, and how we finally came to a compromise that checks both boxes (but not until I spent a few days cooling off). We’re also sharing why this stage of the duplex renovation is especially brain-bending, and what we’ve come to realize about hitting a wall… and then getting yourself over it. Plus, a solution to an age-old problem in our home office, an update on Sherry’s weighted blanket, and an easy upgrade to a money-saving tool that we use at home. Oh yeah, and we solved our weird locked-out-of-Instagram problem!

You can download this episode from Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn Radio, and Spotify – or listen to it below! Note: If you’re reading in a feed reader, you may have to click through to the post to see the player.

What’s New

I was able to snap a few photos over the weekend in Cape Charles of the tile finished, but things were a little messy in some of the rooms in preparation for floor refinishing, so we’ll share some other shots a little later – most likely in that big tiling blog post Sherry promised.

In the meantime, you can check out all of our tile selections here.

Updates

If you missed the original discussion of Instagram hacking and the issue we were having, check out Episode #118.

And if you want to hear more about Sherry’s weighted blanket, it was originally discussed in Episode #79.

This is the weighted blanket we have – and here’s that more affordable option without the removable cover (both are 12 pounds and about 4′ x 6′).

Duplex Kitchen

I know some of what we described in this episode will make more sense with these photos, so let’s start with this picture of the kitchen we took last month. This is actually of the RIGHT side, but I flipped it since all of my renderings show the LEFT side. I figured it would be easier to follow that way. I’m standing in the living room and the wood doors on the left open to the mudroom / laundry room, and you can see the exposed brick chimney there in the back right.

Before I show you all of the bland renderings, remember that this is one of our inspiration images (for the right side, at least). The left side, which we’re showing in these plans, will have the blue-green cabinets with pink patterned tile. So yeah – pattern and color are on the agenda for the duplex since it’s going to be used entirely as a weekly rental. Felt like a good place to have some fun.

Below is the ORIGINAL layout Sherry and I had been working off of, which included the over-the-range microwave. This was made using Ikea’s Home Planner, which is free. It’s not perfect (you can only import Ikea products) but if you’re ordering their cabinetry, it’s a great way to organize your order and see it all in 3D from a bunch of different angles. We discussed a few other 3D home planning tools in this post.

You can see how the upper cabinets conceal a lot of the exposed brick (shown in red – although in real life they’re pretty whitewashed – see the kitchen photo). NOTE: We’re only ordering cabinets from Ikea, so the appliances, hardware, and countertops are just placeholders. This also doesn’t show things like our patterned tile and open shelves, so you’ll have to use your imagination.

When we eliminated the upper cabinets and tried a hood like this one instead, suddenly more of the brick are exposed from this vantage point (which is the main view of this room from the living & dining room). So it’ll no longer look like “a box of bricks sitting on the counter.”

Here’s the difference shown from another angle. This is the view from the mudroom / laundry room with all of the upper cabinets we originally thought we should add. More of the chimney would’ve been visible from here, and we envisioned putting some floating shelves or small ledges on it.

And this is how that vantage point looks with the new plan. Again, there will be colorful patterned tile and floating shelves so it won’t look as stark (and we may even try a shiplap treatment along the stove wall). But either way, it’s definitely a more open feeling and that brick chimney is less covered up than it would have been in the original plan.

The rendering below illustrates some of the cabinetry we’ll be gaining in the adjacent mudroom to create a nice pantry-ish extension from the kitchen. That wide doorway is where those wood pocket doors were in the original photo – so these cabinets would only be about 5 steps from the sink. Ikea isn’t great for rendering laundry spaces (which is why my washer & dryer is actually a refrigerator) but you get the idea. And above the washer & dryer will be a cabinet to the ceiling.

As a reminder, these are the cabinet colors and tiles that are going on either side of the duplex. All of our upper cabinets and mudroom cabinets will be white. You can see this post for more info & mood boards of our duplex selections.

We’re Digging

Below is a photo of our new printer that still fits nicely within the IKEA storage cabinet we got over 7 years ago to house our old one. This piece is no longer sold (the bottom is a file drawer!) but it has held up really well for us, even though our kids added some artwork to the inside of the door.

We used to have to fold out and fill the paper tray every time we wanted to print something, but this printer stores paper in a hidden drawer on the bottom. Plus, I just learned it prints two-sided sheets!

I picked up the printer at Target, and here’s where you can learn more about the HP Instant Ink service we’re trying out.

And this is the new hair-clipper/trimmer that Sherry is loving. And you can check out that original post where she shares her DIY haircutting techniques. It’s very embarrassing, but here’s the video:

And if you’re looking for something we’ve dug in a past episode, but don’t remember which show notes to click into, here’s a master list of everything we’ve been digging from all of our past episodes. You can also see all the books we’ve recommended on our Book Club page.
