New Accessories

by

I don’t recall why, but I was flipping through some old-school posts… and this picture popped up. Wasn’t I a bombshell? Man… I mean… I don’t look like this AT ALL now. At all. And that photo was only taken 3 years ago. My hair is longer, my stomach is softer, I’ve been wearing the same T-shirt for 3 days, but most importantly, my accessories have changed. I like the new look best. ... [ Read More ]

Dawn’s Smaller Dresser {using vinyl as a stencil}

by

A couple weeks ago, we posted about a dresser we refashioned for a client for her daughter’s room. It turned out so fun! Our client, Dawn, had another smaller dresser that she wanted to coordinate without looking like a ‘set’ and without being too matchy matchy. Here’s the before! When we went to sand things down to prep for priming, we noticed some severe damage and chipping of the wood ... [ Read More ]

GIVEAWAY TIME!

by

  This giveaway is now closed. Oh heyyyyy, IT’S FRIDAY!! Three cheers for sure! I’m still not sure why I look forward to the weekend… being a stay-at-home mommy and all. Maybe it’s because I get unlimited time with my man-child! Yep, that’s definitely it! This is neither here nor there, but we had our entire septic line replaced yesterday, which really bites the big one. Although now I can ... [ Read More ]

Crown Molding Shelf Ledge above Wainscotting

by

Good Afternoon! My name is Nick and I am a crown-aholic. Today I would like to talk to you about my obsessive crown molding disorder. It started with the ceiling (part 1), then the all consuming powers of the crown found it’s way into the shelving; I just can’t get enough crown. I find myself craving things like Burger King and Crown Royal. What is happening? What is next… the dining area, ... [ Read More ]

Living Room Crown Molding Reveal and Tutorial (Part 1)

by

Tuesday greetings my fun-loving people! I’ve done ransacked the computer from Beth for two full days. Just kidding… but seriously your stuck with me for the next two days to talk about crown molding and shelving! Molding? Moulding? Who really knows how to spell it. Google says both are correct. Part of our vision of the living room was to have it crowned. So this last weekend was a busy one as we ... [ Read More ]

Random Matters

by

Oh man, whatta weekend y’all! Friday, after much deliberation, we purchased a new (to us) vehicle! The Jeep was on it’s last leg, and we knew it was time. Thanks to all of you that weighed in on the van vs crossover debate on our Facebook page! We ended up driving home a 2006 Honda Odyssey, and I’m completely smitten with it. So roomy, so convenient… and there are no smashed Cheerio’s on the ... [ Read More ]

20 Months

by

The time has come when the girls need to be entertained. They’re no longer content to play quietly together, or follow each other around, or watch daddy use power tools. I need to start getting creative about planning little activities for them. Like immediately. They’re at a tough age where their old enough to enjoy coloring or playdough or fingerpaint, but they still put everything in their ... [ Read More ]

Painted Dresser for Little Girl’s Room!

by

So we made friends with the lady (HI DAWN!) that bought our burnpile buffet… I mean, how could we not when we grew so emotionally attached to a hunk’o’wood? We considered asking for visitation rights, but decided that would be weird. We were delighted when she contacted us with a commissioned project for her daughter Allie’s room! She has two mismatched dressers that she’d like to coordinate ... [ Read More ]

SICKIES and SNOW are the topics at hand.

by

Nick and I are sitting here with our computers in front of us… a hot mess of flannel and bed-head. In a daze. Nick is listening to Celine Dion. We’re all a little disconcerted after spending a sleepless night cleaning vomit and changing crib sheets every 20 minutes. My girl Della was overcome with the stomach flu at 1am. At 2am, after changing both girls’ pajama’s 3 times, we decided to separate ... [ Read More ]
