Katie’s Backsplash

by

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

by

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)

by

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

by

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 ]

Hypothetical Home Updates

by

Nick and I have been super lazy this week, and have no new projects to show you. Not even close. But with all this down time, it's given me more time to think about all the things I want to do to my house. Things that probably won't get done till the kids graduate from high school. Don't get me wrong, we love fixing up other people's houses, but we have high hopes for our own too. It's been put on ... [ Read More ]

Shari’s Backsplash

by

As it turns out, we have a backsplash or two that never got posted before the girls made their abrupt appearance! This particular one was painted back in June... Shari is another one of our color-loving people. She loves fiestaware and everything about her home screams "I'M NOT COLOR-SHY!" So why stop at the backsplash! Here's what her backsplash looked like when we arrived.While the bright ... [ Read More ]

Gender Predictions

by

Yesterday I prompted my Facebook friends to shout out their predictions for the gender of our future bambinos! And it inspired me to set up this handy dandy poll!! I'm so curious to know what everyone thinks! And in case you're wondering, I don't have a 'feeling' at all! No clue. At all. We find out next week! YAY! BABIES!!!customer surveys ... [ Read More ]

Twinspiration

by

Now at 14 weeks, the babes are about the size of a lime! And my baby belly can no longer be confused with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I've been instructed to eat as much as possible, as often as possible... and I do! Trying to eat an additional 1000 calories a day is not an easy task, but eating cheesecake for breakfast every morning should be helping me out on this venture. It's a small price to ...

Another End Table

by

This adorable antique bi-level end table was one of my mom's finds. She's a seasoned bargain-finder, so she likely found it for a steal at a garage sale or something. Either way, we love that she keeps an eye out for things that we could bring to life!With such a fun retro piece, we really wanted it to pop, and thus applied a nice thick coat of glossy red paint that we had left over from another ...

Reminisce

by

Today's weather conditions are allowing me to recount a day last winter that's been permanently etched into my mind. So I thought I'd take this opportunity to repost my story from that day! Oh the horror.Snowy Saga:  Chapter 1I've given myself a good solid day to reflect on the following events, fully recover, and try and find the words to explain the horror. Allow me to start from the ... [ Read More ]
