Since being outcasted from our home, Blanche and Lucille have lived humbly in the garage for the majority of the winter. Every so often they like to venture out and explore... especially when it's nice out. But for the most part, they like it in there! My conscience can now rest.Remember when they looked like this?Our girls are growing up! Little do they know they're about to have two sisters of ... [ Read More ]
ummm… Judith?
You may or may not remember Eloise the vanity. Let me refresh your memory.After posting Eloise for sale on craigslist last fall, we received this letter: painting is NOT refinishing,, you ruined an antique ( I use the word antique loosely ..it dates from the 1930's so its not that ancient.) I own a refinishing shop.. refinishing is stripping the old finish off and re-staining and ... [ Read More ]
Kori’s Backsplash
Backsplash Backsplash Backsplash! It may be Monday, but who can be dragging on a day like today?! Ok, I'm annoyed with my own energy. Let's get to the point. We painted a backsplash. It looks awesome. Feast your eyes.As you can see, Kori had this existing ACTUAL tile backsplash just over the range. And our challenge was to paint the rest of the backsplash to coordinate and compliment this ... [ Read More ]
Discussion Topic: Diaper Dilemma
After realizing that I went the whole day wearing my underwear inside-out (despite the 64 trips to the bathroom), I had a sequence of thoughts that led me to consider in great detail our potential diaper dilemma. (how ironic that "dilemma" is a word I can never remember how to spell?)So here's the issue, we live in the boonies... FAR from civilization. We love living in the country, but there ...

16 Weeks
Time for a baby update! No baby bump picture this time around... I haven't put makeup on in days. Does that mean I'm already letting myself go?We had our 16 week ultrasound, at which our educated guess was confirmed... BOTH GIRLS! Of the 133 votes on our Baby Gender Pole, the vast majority voted for one of each sex... but second place (at 31%) was both girls. We already love those little ladies so ... [ Read More ]
Attic Closet Rescue
One thing I certainly can't complain about is the amount of storage we have in our home. Granted, there is no pantry, linen closets or coat closets (which I still DO complain about), but our attic is fully refinished, giving us tons of room to store boxes, camping equipment, out of season clothing, Christmas boxes, and an extensive/bizarre Anastasia collection. And though I should be ashamed, ... [ Read More ]
Katie’s Backsplash
Katie is a girl after my own heart. She has this funky orange accent wall in her dining room, visible from the kitchen. There's just something about the color orange that says, "I like to have fun!!"Katie loved the warm colors in Rick and Amy's Backsplash, but wanted to keep things a little lighter and brighter, as her cabinets are more blonde than brunette. Ain't nothin' wrong with blondes! ... [ Read More ]
My New Fave
As the newest addition to my favorite things, I would like to introduce you to these very cute, very useful, Duck Measuring Cups. Don't ask me where I got them, because my mother gave them to me... and there's no tellin' where she gets all her little knick knacks. She has a source. And I don't ask... as long as cute things keep coming my way.I like how they're in perfect condition, but they have a ... [ Read More ]
Drexel: Finale (FINALLY)
If you've been around long enough (with inexplicable patience) to remember Part 1 of our Drexel makeover, you'll remember that it went from Beauty-and-the-Beast-Yellow, to primed-white, to chocolate brown. And because we're not-so-bright, we didn't photograph the next step, so I"ll just tell you. We put on a nice thick coat of satin Ivory. Just imagine it in your little head.While Nick was doing ...

Maybe next time
Yesterday, our friend Emily gave us a complimentary ultrasound, bless her heart! She's been known to discover little anatomy parts as early as 13 weeks! And we were so hopeful! But unfortunately, although we're 14+ weeks, the results were somewhat inconclusive. And while she had a strong inclination what their genders are, we're gonna keep our mouths zipped until things are 100% for sure. ... [ Read More ]
