Heidi’s Backsplash

by

Lately, we've been having lots of backsplash clients who are... daring to say the least. And Heidi is no exception. Being a lover of orange myself, I immediately fell in love with Heidi's wild orange cabinets! (though you'll probably never see me painting my own cabinets orange... don't need to when I can enjoy them at Heidi's house!)She wanted the majority of the backsplash to look like natural ...

Nursery: Tissue Paper Mobile (and tutorial!)

by

UPDATE! Check out the final nursery reveal HERE! I try to stay away from all things trendy, but the tissue paper mobiles sucked me in. I love how fluffy and airy they are, you have unlimited color combo options, and it's one more thing that I can make with my hands for my precious girls!! HOWCUTEISTHIS? I die. So I know you're getting all anxious for the tutorial, so let's get started! I hope ... [ Read More ]

Girls Gone Wild

by

Girlfriends in my belly been goin' crazy. Sometimes I just look at my belly and can see from the outside the madness going on inside. I love it SO! I'll say, "oh B, what exactly are you trying to accomplish in there?" or "oh A, that's my bladder... let's find another toy."I've had inexplicable energy lately that can only be attributed to nesting. When it comes to the nursery, I have unlimited ... [ Read More ]

Jody’s Backsplash

by

This may just be the BIGGEST backsplash we've painted... ever. But it turned out to be pretty impressive with the little black accent tiles coordinating with her black appliances and decor. And... Jody has twins too! So we had lots to talk about. Here's her naked kitchen:And after we got our hands on it...It's almost like the backsplash makes the kitchen feel even bigger! And more gourmet! Hope ... [ Read More ]

A Dresser for Laurie

by

In between our day jobs, backsplashes, and overhauling the nursery... we've been casually making-over Laurie's dresser. Laurie is a client that has bought a few pieces of furniture from us in the past... one being this little end table. And we actually did another slightly different end table to match awhile back, which we didn't blog about because it just seemed a little redundant. But Laurie ... [ Read More ]

Nursery: Bumper Pad

by

Don't lie, I know you've been losing sleep over the painfully slow progress in the nursery. So let's get on with this bumper pad! We wanted the fabric to coordinate with the crib skirt obviously, but didn't want exactly the same fabric. And since I'm a sucker for paisley anything, I immediately fell in love with this delicate, feminine paisley eyelet fabric.We stuck with the same concept of ... [ Read More ]

Discussion Topic: Baby Monitor

by

OK, it's been awhile since I  pleaded for your help, but the time has come again... and you ladies always come through for me! So here it is: "WHAT do you look for in a baby monitor?" There are so many out there, and their price ranges very so widely, I'm just at a loss. Is a video monitor really necessary? What's this business about a motion sensor? Do some monitors get a clearer signal than ... [ Read More ]

Jane’s Backsplash

by

If you have ever overhauled your entire kitchen, you know how time consuming it can be, and frustrating dealing with contractors and such. It is said to be the most expensive room in a house to remodel. But Jane here knew that throwing a little paint around can make a dramatic difference for a fraction of the cost. Knowing that her cabinets were in decent shape (just a little outdated), she ... [ Read More ]

Homemade Baby Gifts

by

This past weekend, my mom threw me a baby shower. I was so blessed by all the women that came to show their love and shower our future babies with gifts!!! While we're so thankful for every gift, we can't feature every single one on the blog... but I really wanted to highlight some of the homemade gifts. Creating a gift with your hands adds such a special sentimental touch, and allows the receiver ... [ Read More ]

Chris’s Backsplash

by

Happy Monday! Did anything exciting happen this weekend? I painted a backsplash, attended my own baby shower, celebrated Easter by eating, finished the crib bumper, painted the nursery closet, and finished glazing and poly-ing a dresser we've been working on! Ambition can be good, but I'm sure my back will be cursing me for the early parts of this week.Let's get to the point here though... Chris's ... [ Read More ]
