Christmastime is here!

Did the holidays sneak up on anyone else besides me this year? I had the best intentions of making the abode into a winter wonderland for the holidays, but then I turned around and Christmas was a week away. D’oh! I have to admit, with coordinating travel and immense amounts of gift buying, I haven’t [...]

Fall Decor Dunce

My mom and I were chatting the other day about the blog (naturally) and she asked “why don’t you do a post on fall decor”?  to which I simply replied “I don’t think that’s my thing”. But that got me to thinking: how could I, queen of home decor and lover of arts and crafts, [...]

Chair Maybe Makeover: Completed!

Meet my sad little chair. Old girl has been with me since college, when I found her at a flea market and slapped some royal blue paint and cheap-o yellow fabric on her seat. Since neither of these colors plays a big part in my current abode, I felt the need to give her some [...]

Chair Maybe Makeover

I’ve been a bit uninspired lately when it comes to home decor projects. Maybe it’s the great weather we’ve been having or the fact that our house is almost to a point where I can stand it’s incomplete state. I said almost. There is always a project brewing in my crazy head, and one of [...]

Gate Rehab

Apparently when Scott and I are apart, we’re super productive. If I didn’t like him so much, I’d suggest we spend more time apart so we could get all of our little house projects completed!

I figured I should use my time wisely and A) watch some horrible chic flicks and b) do something creative. I certainly watched my fair share of awesomely [...]

Baby Booties

I recently got a request for more baby related posts on the blog, which is all fine and well, except I don’t have a baby. Not even close. I have a Charlie, but I don’t think leashes and dog bowls is the kind of thing you nice folks are looking for. What I do have, [...]

Sammy the Sawhorse

After a long day at work and a rousing spin at the gym, I came home to this scene on our back deck this afternoon. Whaaa? Apparently Scott got a wild hair and decided to bust out some DIY sawhorses. Why you ask? We’ll, I’m not quite sure. I think a need to keep our [...]

A Certain Shade of Yellow

Before I started this blog, there were many a project that we attempted (some successful, some not so much) that you’ve yet to experience. Unfortunately for you guys, I didn’t take before and after pictures of every little thing I did, so there is no documentation of my process. Thus, you guys don’t get to [...]

Tweet Baby Shower: The Details

You might be thinking “why are you and your family waving goodbye at the beginning of a baby shower?” or “why are you not dressed for a baby shower?’. Well, we planned a wonderful shower for my big sister, and she had to go and have a baby. The nerve! I didn’t actually get to [...]
