Kathy’s Backsplash

May 30, 2011 by Bethany Sy

YAY!!! We're back at it! This past weekend, we partook in painting our first backsplash since the girls were born. It's been a nice two month siesta, but it feels good to jump back into our creative niche. Kathy was one of my coworkers at the clinic, and she was willing to be our guinea pig for seeing how it would all work bringing the girls with us on the job!Here's Kathy's kitchen... she ...

Wave your banner!

May 26, 2011 by Bethany Sy

I was lookin' at our blog title and banner this morning, and thinking it would be fun to explain some of the photos involved. Some of the stories behind them are humorous.This first photo is of myself obviously. I had just gotten a killer awesome haircut by my girl Angie, and I wanted to take a picture of it so it could be reproduced many times over. Everyone has had the perfect haircut at some ...

Demo / Reno

May 25, 2011 by Bethany Sy

Oh my... what-a-weekend. I should say WEEK because we left Thursday and came home Tuesday evening. Why? Our Christmas gift to my parents was to tear out all the lathe and plaster in their living room, insulate, fix old electrical wiring, drywall, mud, prime and paint. I'll be the first to admit that I helped about 0%. In fact, it takes a crane to get me out of bed these days. Nick, Tim, Josh, ... [ Read More ]

Deb’s Backsplash

May 23, 2011 by Bethany Sy

Well snap, it's Monday again. It's been an interesting weekend, filled with drywall dust, crafting and napping! Also, I felt Baby B's hiccups for the first time... fun!I'm a little late on blogging today, but that's just the way it goes sometimes.Deb was a client who was referred to us by our Interior Design friend, Jodi! Her kitchen desperately needed some lovin'... and lucky for her, we're in ... [ Read More ]

The Final Lap

May 20, 2011 by Bethany Sy

We've officially started the 3rd trimester! And I've noticed a marked difference in my energy level. Though perhaps it's directly related to the low-quality sleep I've been getting. It's incredible how much time and strategy it takes to roll over! But I love how my girls gently remind me of their presence pretty much all the time. It hasn't gotten to the point where their kicks hurt yet, so I'm ... [ Read More ]

The Big 2-9

May 19, 2011 by Bethany Sy

Today is my beloved's 29th Birthday! It's 7:30, and I've already baked 6 dozen Snickerdoodle cookies for him to take to work, made a massive sausage/onion/pepper omelet for his breakfast, and have a from-scratch cake in the oven as we speak. Me and the girls in my belly are sitting down to rest, and blog. The timer is set for 20 mins... ready set go.Since we have commitments this evening, we ... [ Read More ]

Nursery: Changing Table {Paint using a Projector!}

May 17, 2011 by Bethany Sy

*UPDATE!* Click here to see the final nursery reveal!!!  Annnnd, we're back to the nursery: I literally spent about 3 months vigilantly seeking craigslist for a perfect dresser for the nursery changing table. We had such great success with finding the crib and rocking chair that I thought it would be easier than this. My expectations were even relatively low. Here's the mandatory ... [ Read More ]

Lisa’s Backsplash

May 16, 2011 by Bethany Sy

Oh happy Monday. The sun is shining and the birds are chirping... yet somehow I still feel like putting myself on self-inflicted bedrest. I'm sure I wouldn't like that for very long though. But enough about me...Lisa was blessed with a very impressive kitchen to begin with, but sometimes (OK pretty much always) a kitchen just looks naked without a backsplash!! Her kitchen is so large it took TWO ... [ Read More ]

A bit of a preview

May 14, 2011 by Bethany Sy

Lately, I've been feeling a lot like all we blog about is the nursery, backsplashes, and pregnancy updates. And honestly, sometimes it seems like that's all we do period. But we have  been making some headway on some furniture that we can't wait to share!! So we're gonna give you a little teaser photo.It may still be another week or so before this babys done. Thank you for your patience! ... [ Read More ]

That time of year again…

May 10, 2011 by Bethany Sy

Well, the time has come once again...longer days, budding blooms, quiet balmy nights on the countryside. We're just lovin' it out here. I've chosen not to make any outdoor commitments this year (example: gardening), due to my twin-fliction. But until I'm banished to bedrest (hopefully never!) I love being out and about with my man. He found himself an old gun in my Grandpa's shed, and decided it ... [ Read More ]
