I don’t want to brag or anything, but I recently returned from a trip to California in which I survived not just one….not just two…but FOUR airplane flights. Like, not a single one of them crashed! I’m pretty sure that’s some kind of record. So, yeah, the least fun parts of our trip were the flying parts, but all the … Continue reading
Back at the beginning of the year, I made a list of house related goals for 2015. I haven’t really thought a whole lot about the list since then, so I was pleasantly surprised when I took a look at it earlier to find that we’re staying on track pretty well. This is probably because it’s a pretty short list. … Continue reading
Hey, guess what?! July is National Vacation Rental Month, and Wyndham Vacation Rentals is having a month long celebration; find out how to enter to win your own road trip getaway at the bottom of this post. I had no idea this was a thing until recently, but it makes a lot of sense, because July is when everyone’s … Continue reading
The last bathroom post! You know, I was all proud of myself for holding back on posting every little update, so that I’d have a real REVEAL to show off in here….but the downside is I kind of feel like these little posts about specific projects afterward are a bit of a let down. So with that enticing introduction out … Continue reading
Posts have been sparse around here because we just got back from a week and a half in California, where we had a great time seeing family and beaches and redwood trees and whatnot. More on that later, but today a quick post with a few more details about the gallery wall in our master bathroom. I’ve been trying to … Continue reading

Well, look what we have here! The master bathroom makeover three years in the making. Or at least three years in the thinking about and a year and a half or so in the making. Today there will be many pictures and then later on I’ll post a source list and probably have a couple of small posts about … Continue reading
The last full day of our trip was was Ari’s 14th birthday. And mostly what 14 year olds want to do for their birthdays is hike to waterfalls. So that’s what we did to start the day. I’d read that the Laurel Falls trail was a good one for kids; it’s pretty short, at around 2 1/2 miles round trip … Continue reading
What’s that you say? You can’t stand to go through another weekend without seeing just a little more of our in-progress-since-the-beginning-of-time master bathroom? Right. Well, this post is for you, then! I always feel a weird explaining/apologizing about projects taking (much) longer than I expected. Because, I mean, I don’t think most people are losing sleep over our master bathroom … Continue reading
When we left off, we had just had dinner in Pigeon Forge and were about to head off to the Titanic Museum, billed as “the world’s largest Titanic museum attraction,” to finish the evening. I was very curious about this place. Nearly all the blog reports I could find were from people who got comp tickets. Not that there’s anything … Continue reading
