I’ve got a motley collection of things that don’t get their own posts today. 1. New blanket! If you’ve ever read the comments section on Apartment Therapy (or, umm, anywhere on the internet), you’ve probably noticed that being incredibly kind and giving is not everyone’s top priority when making comments. I’ve usually gotten off fairly easy over there, though, and … Continue reading
Awhile back I came across this book at the thrift store: I had to bring it home because I’m a sucker for old books with charming illustrations, especially ones that are unintentionally hilarious. I think it was even half price book day. I considered using it for Ari’s eighth grade science curriculum for next year, but then I … Continue reading
Back when I was taking a million pictures of the finished half of our master bedroom, I also snapped a couple of what the other half of it (i.e. the part that was Abe’s nursery until very recently) looks like right now. But then I think I deleted those by accident. Sorry. Basically, you need to picture Abe’s old nursery: … Continue reading
I’m just kidding. With that title. I did not really set out to make a bird and octopus and dog themed bedroom, but it turns out, I realized, that there are multiple birds, octopuses, and dogs in there, and I needed a title. Before that, I was stuck on “master bedroom tour” for a title, and who would read a … Continue reading
It’s not that big of a reveal, since I’ve already unveiled most of the changes and projects in here. But maybe you can just pretend to be surprised. Abe’s original nursery was in a sectioned off part of our bedroom. It looked like this: To celebrate Abe becoming a toddler, we moved him down the hall to his own room, our … Continue reading
I decided to go with the foyer for the next part of the house tour to get updated because 1. it’s small and easy to clean to get it ready and 2. it has a new rug! with birds on it! Let’s start there. I’ve had my eye on this rug from Urban Outfitters for months now, but … Continue reading
I really like collections of things. You have to be careful with collections, because sometimes when you’re in tenth grade you tell people that you collect, say, cows, and then that’s all you get for every birthday and holiday for years is cow stuff. And sometimes you collect things by accident, like laundry and dog fur. But sometimes you … Continue reading
So there’s this other house for sale in our neighborhood that appears to be our house’s twin (the one with the coat closet where we have a mysterious and inaccessible empty box). One sort of hilarious thing about the house listing is that it refers to the wide upstairs hallway as a “loft.” Naturally, when we learned that we … Continue reading
Remember that time when I talked about how much Abe loves his Fisher Price Discovery Cottage and assured you all that Fisher Price was not compensating me for the shout out via a time portal from 1985? Yeah, well, I don’t think you’re ever going to believe me after this post. See, what happened was that I realized Abe’s … Continue reading
One of my big blog-related goals for the this year is to have a really nice, updated house tour page for people to visit. The one that’s there now is….not nice or updated. To this end, I have a few things in the works. Dave is hard at work on a clickable floor plan, and I’m hoping that we’ll be … Continue reading
