🙂 Like I told y’all in our last newsletter, we are soon to be celebrating Lambert Home’s 5-year birthday! Lambert Home is officially this many!! (holds hand up to indicate it’s 5!!!) Every year on our anniversary we create very intentional time to be together to celebrate all God has done for me and Sarah and our business, but this year, like, to the MAXIMUM!!! I already told y’all the whole month of October is going to be cookies and balloons and champagne in the store, so like, I hope y’all are ready to come squeal!
So to celebrate full out on the blog, we’re going to visit through some of our favorite projects over the past 5 years, what they meant to us, and just share our thankfulness for five years! Today, I just feel so compelled to share our first ever LH construction project because it was just a miracle from minute one. Such a blessing and such a hilarious leap of faith and I just can’t get over it!
In the very beginning, when we first opened of course we were doing design for design clients, but when it came to construction what we used to do was say “Here’s your full design package, now go hire your own person to manage your project! Good luck! Love you! BYEEE!” — this was a great system, and to be honest we still offer this service today! But in the beginning of 2016 a client hired us for the simplest most wonderful remodel project that included a few cabinet edits, new countertops/backsplash, painting, flooring, just basic stuff! That’s a lovely little starter job!
I remember Sarah told them in the meeting “well guys! Not to sound weird or anything, but we’re thinking we want to manage this project! Full disclosure we’ve never done it before, but I’m confident we would do a great job!” — and somehow, miracle of miracles these darling clients said “okay that sounds great!” Like guys. that was it! There was no like “are you insured” or “what does your contract look like” or any of the systems and structures that we’ve implemented since then, it was just straight up “okay that sounds great!’
HAHAHA WHAT even is the year 2016, and how is it so precious and naive and darling!!!

Y’all — we estimated the project would take 6 weeks and at the end of 3 weeks and 1 day we gave them their key back and were like “umm…lol….I guess that’s easier than we thought it would be? Enjoy your kitchen!” This beautiful remodel job was the first of its kind and a beautiful start to such an incredible portion of what we do! Thank you, thank you, thank you to these first client’s who said “okay that sounds great!” and took a chance on us! We’re so excited to be celebrating all month long so get ready for even more blog posts, instagram giveaways and videos!
