Well snap, it's Monday again. It's been an interesting weekend, filled with drywall dust, crafting and napping! Also, I felt Baby B's hiccups for the first time... fun!I'm a little late on blogging today, but that's just the way it goes sometimes.Deb was a client who was referred to us by our Interior Design friend, Jodi! Her kitchen desperately needed some lovin'... and lucky for her, we're in ... [ Read More ]

Oh happy Monday. The sun is shining and the birds are chirping... yet somehow I still feel like putting myself on self-inflicted bedrest. I'm sure I wouldn't like that for very long though. But enough about me...Lisa was blessed with a very impressive kitchen to begin with, but sometimes (OK pretty much always) a kitchen just looks naked without a backsplash!! Her kitchen is so large it took TWO ... [ Read More ]

Lately, we've been having lots of backsplash clients who are... daring to say the least. And Heidi is no exception. Being a lover of orange myself, I immediately fell in love with Heidi's wild orange cabinets! (though you'll probably never see me painting my own cabinets orange... don't need to when I can enjoy them at Heidi's house!)She wanted the majority of the backsplash to look like natural ...

This may just be the BIGGEST backsplash we've painted... ever. But it turned out to be pretty impressive with the little black accent tiles coordinating with her black appliances and decor. And... Jody has twins too! So we had lots to talk about. Here's her naked kitchen:And after we got our hands on it...It's almost like the backsplash makes the kitchen feel even bigger! And more gourmet! Hope ... [ Read More ]

If you have ever overhauled your entire kitchen, you know how time consuming it can be, and frustrating dealing with contractors and such. It is said to be the most expensive room in a house to remodel. But Jane here knew that throwing a little paint around can make a dramatic difference for a fraction of the cost. Knowing that her cabinets were in decent shape (just a little outdated), she ... [ Read More ]

Happy Monday! Did anything exciting happen this weekend? I painted a backsplash, attended my own baby shower, celebrated Easter by eating, finished the crib bumper, painted the nursery closet, and finished glazing and poly-ing a dresser we've been working on! Ambition can be good, but I'm sure my back will be cursing me for the early parts of this week.Let's get to the point here though... Chris's ... [ Read More ]

Don't have lots of time this morning, so I've got a short and sweet one for ya! Sarah's kitchen is on the smaller side, but she knew that didn't mean it would have to look uninteresting. And she was so right. Between her vision and our stash of supplies and questionable skill, we created something custom and beautiful! Here's the before/after pics. And Happy Monday to you! ...

Happy Monday to you.Let's talk backsplash! Angela commissioned us to fancy-up her galley kitchen and make it something special.She wanted to stick with medium neutrals, but add a pop of eggplant in the vertical accent squares to coordinate with a future accent wall. It's kinda hard to see the colors in the photos.We think the new painted backsplash gives this kitchen the special zing that it ... [ Read More ]

This weekend, two things of interest happened:We painted two backsplashes. I biffed it on our concrete driveway carrying in groceries. Here's the story... On my 11th and final trip to the Jeep to get the last few bags, I grabbed two handfuls of bags and set one handful down on the driveway so I could close the trunk. And as I moved out of the way so the trunk wouldn't hit my head, I backed up ... [ Read More ]

I just licked strawberry jelly off my shirt, and I shall continue wearing it, because today... instead of throwing on my business casuals, my Mom is coming! And wouldn't you know it, we're going to craft today. Like we ain't never crafted before. Sewing to be more specific.But for now, the house is quiet and empty, except for the sound of the washing machine dishwasher. So I shall take this ... [ Read More ]
