One of the many benefits to country living is having barn swallows build a nest and keep the mosquito population at a minimum. And it's amazing to watch them swoop and dive-bomb here and there catching the little critters.Here's momma feeding her little birdlings. Who doesn't love an action shot?Here's babies crying because their still hungry. Can you believe how wide they can open their mouths? ... [ Read More ]
sad.
I'm in the midst of several projects that I'm super excited about!! But none of them are finished... so I can't share them yet! :(In other news, I don't really know what to blog about today, because honestly I just feel kinda sad. Nothing of interest is really going on in my life currently, I don't care much for either of my jobs... I feel like there's nothing to look forward to. I figured ... [ Read More ]
Tim and Carrie
My little bro Tim and his prego wife Carrie have been living with us temporarily as many of you well know. We've been enjoying their company... sharing meals together, watching Dexter, walking our new 'nature trail,' and good conversation! On any given day, this is what our driveway looks like. Don't we look popular? Like we're having a party every night of the week?This is what our garage looks ... [ Read More ]
Living Room Woe’s
The living room has been making my days a little more 'beige' than I prefer, and so I'm a-thinkin it's time to lighten things up!The first think I did was put about 17 coats of white paint on the trim. Not my favorite thing, but totally worth it. Example photo below (and YIKES... notice the blotchy sea-foam-green in the dining room from back in the day).So, because I had a day off, I invited my ...

Blank Slate
One of the many projects on the horizon is the quaint little desk and chair. My Momma picked them up at a garage sale for only a few sheckles, knowing I'd jump on fixing this little baby up!

Weekend
Our weekend was crazy:We headed up to Waverly for my 10 year class reunion. (i'm still in denial that I'm that old) It was really fun to see my old classmates and show off my smokin' hot husband... but to be honest, no one was there that I REALLY wanted to see. It was still totally worth it though.Nick got himself in over his head thinking he could help my little brother replace his alternator in ... [ Read More ]
Amber’s Backsplash
This one is from several weeks ago, but I've been dragging my feet to post it because I wanted to get a hold of Amber first to get permission to post her kitchen on the blog.Now obviously, we can't take credit for how AMAZING her kitchen is. But you have to admit the backsplash brings in something extra special. I didn't get good before pictures, so you'll just have to use your imagination. ... [ Read More ]
Kitchen: Before and After
We've been 'gently' reminded by several readers that we never actually posted before and after pictures of our kitchen. I think the reason for this was in part because our kitchen reveal post was already excessively long and jam-packed with pictures, I didn't want to bog it up with the tacky before pictures.Luckily, after some searching, I was able to dig up pictures of the kitchen from WAY back ...
