I keep meaning to do more random stuff that’s not big enough for its own post kind of posts. But then I don’t. But, look! Now I am! Hooray! Hallway Light Options I mentioned the other day that we’re planning to replace the old light in the hallway: The one that’s there now isn’t the one the house came with. … Continue reading
Revere Pewter! (I didn’t really watch the Oscars, because I don’t make it to the movies so much anymore and also I don’t have cable. But I hear that that Leonardo DiCaprio won, and everyone was like “finally,” but I would like to submit for your consideration this statistical analysis of whether he really was the one who was next … Continue reading
See my ambitious title up there? This is going to be a quick makeover. It’s a small hallway, after all. And then once we finish the hallway, we’ll be so close to the bathroom that we might as well just keep going into it, too! And then the whole downstairs will be….better than it was when we moved in! But … Continue reading
I accidentally took last week off from blogging, but I’ve been doing crazy things like buying paint samples and hanging pictures over the weekend, getting ready to bring you TWO exciting posts this week! It’s been a couple of months now since we hung up our sheet music holding Ikea Trones shelves in the library, and they’re working great as … Continue reading
Last Sunday marked our fourth annual Superkea Sunday: the day our family goes shopping while a lot of other people are watching a big sportsball game. Superkea Sunday is a magical time at Ikea, a time when one can take photos like this, with NO PEOPLE in them: Also, you can take a new picture of your kids sitting on … Continue reading
I did one of these posts awhile back: reflecting on some of the projects we’ve done and house-related choices we’ve made and how we’ve come to feel about them in the long term. And then I got an e-mail a few weeks ago asking about the rug in the library and whether we regret going with such a light color, … Continue reading
When I was a kid, Fisher Price Little People were, hands down, my very favorite toys for a very long time. My mom was (and is) an excellent garage saler, so we had a huge collection of the stuff. My brother and I would dump all the accessories into a big pile in the floor and then take turns choosing … Continue reading
It’s Wednesday already! How did this happen?! The weekend kind of got away from me…probably because of all the SNOW! I know the mid-Atlantic part of Jonas got most of the attention last weekend, but just look what happened here in Georgia: Look at all that snow! Can you even believe it?! Okay, there wasn’t much snow here. But we … Continue reading
I mentioned the new ottomans we bought for the den when I showed you the new color last week, but now I’m back to dedicate an entire to post to them + the search for storage solutions for the den in general. When we bought the Karlstad sectional, we had to assemble it in a slightly unorthodox way in order … Continue reading
Back to the den next, but I wanted to take a minute (or, you know, 1000 words and a million pictures, whichever comes first), to talk about the crazy thing that happened here over the weekend: my BABY turned THREE! You’re probably having a hard time believing this, because he was just born about a week ago and because he’s … Continue reading
