Does anyone recognize these two?

We’ve poured our hearts and our money into building our space and beautifying our little corner of Ellis, to have these two steal our sprinkler system for the new sod we just had installed including the smart timer, and left our hose running full blast down the sidewalk for 10 hours. They also broke something of ours and threw it in the grass.

They were peering in our windows and while this will cost us a couple hundred and some hours to replace, I’m just glad we have a full security system inside and out.

Please keep an eye out for these two, and if you see them, please keep an eye on your things.

Small details change how a place feels.

We just wrapped another exterior update at Ellis House with fresh landscaping and new sod going in to help create a more intentional first impression.

When we took this building on, the vision was never just to create four walls people could rent. It was to build a space that feels thoughtful, refined, and different from the moment you arrive.

Because the experience starts before you ever walk through the door.

Cedar Rapids deserves beautiful spaces too.

Excited to keep bringing this vision to life.

After the painters finish we can finally start putting the space together.

We’re excited to show you what we’ve been dreaming up!

They don’t look like much now, but these planters will add vibrancy and soften the street-side edge of the building.

We hope you all keep Cedar Rapids beautiful. 🪻🪴😎

Shoutout to for helping us curate our window boxes!

Cedar Rapids Swifties, I need your opinion!

We’re thinking about hosting an unofficial Swiftie-inspired weekend in the near future at Ellis House and want to see if there’s enough interest before we build it out.

The idea would be two separate events:

Friday Night: The Spotlight Social
A glam night for adults with music, photo ops, friendship bracelets, themed drinks/mocktails, trivia, and a sing-along/dance party feel.

Saturday Afternoon: Mini Swiftie Social
A family-friendly version for kids and their grown-ups with bracelet making, dancing, games, photo ops, treats, and a chance to dress in their favorite era.

If both events sold out, we’d look at adding a second adult night Saturday and a second family party Sunday.

This would be held at Ellis House, our new boutique event space in Cedar Rapids.

Would you come to something like this? And if so, would you be more interested in the adult night, the family-friendly event, or both?

Comment “adult,” “family,” or “both” so we can gauge interest.

*This would be an unofficial fan event and would not be affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Taylor Swift, TAS Rights Management, Republic Records, or any related entities.

We are ECSTATIC to start our journey with this review from a photographer from Iowa City who drove up to shoot with a model in our space.

We are very appreciative of our guests and we’re so happy the space is being received so well!

Our family is trying to bring the vibes to Cedar Rapids.

Little by little, Ellis House is starting to feel like the place we imagined.

Our new sign is officially up, thanks to Visual Tendencies , and the landscaping is looking incredible thanks to Bladeworks Landscaping.

The goal with Ellis House has always been simple:

Create a space that feels different the second you pull up.

A place for showers, workshops, corporate events, photo shoots, video productions, private gatherings, and creative ideas that need a beautiful home.

Still plenty more to do, but this was a big step.

Huge thanks to Visual Tendencies and BladeWorks Landscaping for helping bring the outside of the building to life.

Ellis House is now taking bookings for events and productions starting May 14.

Email [email protected] to inquire.

Our soft seating gives Ellis House its vibe.

But workshops, corporate events, showers, and private gatherings still need flexible, comfortable seating that works.

So we’re adding 60 mid-century modern event chairs to the space this weekend.

Ellis House isn’t a standard event space, but we want hosting here to feel easy, polished, and intentional from the second you walk in.

We’re officially taking bookings for events starting May 14.

Testing out seating arrangements on a Friday Afternoon. 😎
