I tend to NOT post new blogs on the weekends, but since we painted 3 (that's right, 3) backsplashes yesterday, I thought I'd give you a little bonus Sunday post!Pam has a huge kitchen, but it just needed a little something.Dear husbands: if you're skeptical of having a painted backsplash... just know that if your wife loves her kitchen, she's more likely to cook more delicious meals, more ...

Kinda wanna keep it
Remember the little teaser we threw out for on of our upcoming projects?? Well the time is now. I found this end table whilst thrift shopping with my mom. (In fact, it was the same day she bought this little laundry hamper). And when I saw it... I knew immediately how I wanted to paint it. This was a super easy furniture update, but I think it makes a dramatic difference. Instead of sitting ... [ Read More ]
Eldest of 7
In honor of my oldest brother's 30th Birthday (HAHA IN YOUR FACE SUCKA!), I would like to share some memories of the good ol' days. If you don't know my family personally, you may not see the hilarity in these photos that the rest of us do... but at least you'll get your fill of 80's clothing eye candy and extremely outdated wallpaper.I give you, the famous Chicago architect, Nathan:We were BFF's ...

Corn Hole
A few weeks ago, while working a Saturday, I phoned the hubs to see if he could whip up a bean-bag toss game for our BBQ that we were hosting that night.... thinking. 'all you need to do is cut a couple boards into the same sized rectangle, and put a hole in them.' Honestly, I didn't want it to be fancy or anything. I just love bean bags ok? And yard games in general.And this is what I came home ... [ Read More ]
Tim and Carrie’s Backsplash
Well, it's Monday... but the good new is, we have a new backsplash to share!! And this one was certainly not a chore. (even without the free pizza and beer!!). It was for my little bro and his wife, in their brand new kitchen... in their brand new house!! They've been homeowners for 3 days now, and have been busily unpacking and arranging things throughout their homestead. Though their 107 year ... [ Read More ]
Selfish Me
Sometimes, I like to think of myself as a strong, confident, and independent woman. But the fact of the matter is, I'm none of the above. I wish that I could say I deal with disappointment and tragedy with grace and style... but the truth? I'm a sad little pouting girl, crying until I burst a blood-vessel in my face. I get mad at God, infuriated by pregnant women, and hostile toward innocent small ... [ Read More ]
Homestead Happenings
This summer on the homestead has been fabulous. We've definitely done our fair share of grilling, entertaining, and bonfires. We like to live life in the country to the full extent. This excessive funness has only been accentuated by the presence of my little bro and his wife these past 6 weeks. They are moving to their very own homestead on Friday, and we're all filled with mixed emotions.They ... [ Read More ]
Eloise
It's true, we named the vanity Eloise. And this girl is finally finished. Enjoy the progress photos! This is the actual picture on the craigslist posting where we found the vanity. A little rough, yes... but with obvious potential. Then we sanded her down real good. And slapped on a coat of primer. After removing the mirrors for ease of painting, we found an old picture of a couple and ... [ Read More ]
Eleanore’s Backsplash
Labor Day might just be the one Monday that I look forward to all year! (unless my birthday falls on a Monday obviously)...Eleanore's backsplash was actually painted the previous weekend, but she wanted to get her new countertops and corner cabinet in place before she sent us 'after pics.'For your viewing pleasure: Doesn't her kitchen look like it could be straight out a magazine? ...
