Sometimes you come home from the thrift store with something so BEAUTIFUL that you have to write a whole post about it. And sometimes you come home with TWO really awesome things, so you write about the two of them. The other day Dave was all, “we need to get out of the house and do something; let’s go to … Continue reading
The sharper eyed among you might have noticed in Wednesday’s pinwheel post that the yellow is finally gone in the sun room! But you can’t really tell what color it is in that picture, because it’s so, so light. It’s the lightest I’ve ever painted a room, ever. Some people are afraid of color; I’m afraid of white walls. And these … Continue reading
I’m always on the lookout for crafts even I can’t am unlikely to screw up. So when I came across these super cute pinwheels awhile back on Circusberry, I pinned them immediately: Circusberry ….and then, a couple of days ago, I did something even better: I actually MADE some! Crazy idea, right? You pin something and then you make it. … Continue reading
We’ve been hanging out in the sunroom nonstop since a few days ago when we finally got it all set up with furniture. I think we would have made it a priority sooner had we realized what a lovely room it was going to be. The thing that bothers me most about our floor plan is how closed off the … Continue reading
Aww….summer. If you are us, summer means a couple of months of two adults being home. Summer is the best part of Dave’s job. We love summer. Except that it’s really, really hot. But you can’t have everything. Summer is, theoretically, a good time to knock out projects. Last summer, Dave built a fence. We thought that maybe Dave should … Continue reading
All done! This one took us a little longer than the nursery, since Ari was already born and there was no built in deadline….but I’m really pleased with how it turned out. And, almost as even more importantly, Ari is, too. And now for the long post with tour and sources for everything. (I guess it would be more exciting if … Continue reading
Just a quick post about this little grouping of pictures next to Ari’s bed, then we finish up a couple of things this weekend, and we’re done! I think the sun room is going to get some more attention next. Okay, so on the list I posted the other day, this was referred to as a gallery wall, but really … Continue reading
It’s an Indigo Girls reference. Get it? In a bit of poor timing, I had Strange Fire in the disc changer in my car for awhile just before I did this project, and now I can’t get that song (or at least that line) out of my head. I came up with the idea for this project one day while I … Continue reading
Foyers are kind of weird. Our old house didn’t have one; you just walked right on into the living room. I’ve talked before about how one of my qualms with colonials is that they tend not to use space as efficiently as they might, what with their hallways and such (we have a super wide hallway upstairs, which I intend … Continue reading
Is it just me, or was the last Pinterest Challenge like a week ago? Pinterest challenge hosted by: Katie at BowerPower, Sherry at Young House Love, Emily at Sparkle Meets Pop, and Renee at Red Bird Blue At any rate, for the last Pinterest Challenge I redid Ari’s desk. Everything went very smoothly, I was very pleased with the end … Continue reading
