That’s Just Dandy

by

If you know me at all, you know I have a certain fondness for dandelions. I just think they're beautiful, okay? No, I don't want them growing all over my lawn, just here and there is fine. Nick has got it off easy, being able to give me my favorite flower on a regular basis, for free.Anywho... my family and friends encourage these irrational and socially unacceptable tenancies by giving me ...

Sandy’s Backsplash

by

We try to pull off at least one backsplash each weekend, so that basically makes for a backsplash themed Monday morning blog each week!Sandy got a first-hand look at our work at her daughter Allison's house (from a couple weeks ago). She didn't have any trouble convincing her husband to have us paint in THEIR home. In fact, he had to walk up to the backsplash and feel it to believe it wasn't truly ... [ Read More ]

Ahhh Young Love

by

First off... HAPPY WEEKEND. I don't think I've ever looked forward to a weekend more than this one, and we don't even have any plans! Kinda makes me want to load up Nick and head to the airport and catch the next flight to who-knows-where. I miss my impulsive crazy days.Like most normal people, I was up at 6am on my day off when I could be sleeping in my 800 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets (if ... [ Read More ]

Barn Swallows

by

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.

by

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

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

by

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 ...
