Homemade GRILLED Pizza

by

So YO. I have this friend Megan… we’ve been close buds for several years. Her and her husband have recently become pizza-making connoisseurs, and since they don’t live close enough for me to invite myself over to try their GRILLED PIZZA (you heard me… GRILLED!), I asked Meg for some step by step directions. Because I have GOT to try this! And she agreed to share them with me and you! Take it away ... [ Read More ]

Who’s up for a quickie?

by

Hey hey hey! Or in the words of Dell… ‘hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi!’ I’m just stopping in for a quick moment to show my progress on stripping the front door! It really shouldn’t take as long as it is, but I’ve got other things on my plate too… and I like to play ‘musical projects’ (as you know) so I get my fix of all different techniques. Plus, naptimes only last so long… if ya know what I mean. OH ... [ Read More ]

Building a Round Pergola

Hi Friends! We finished a MAJOR project today… and do you really think we’re going to wait until Monday to share it? NO! So welcome to this random Sunday edition of Reality Daydream. Nick and I have ALL KINDS of lofty plans for our home and land… most of which are just dreams. But I like to dream with my rendering markers, so I drew up a little ‘someday’ aerial image of our property (this is ... [ Read More ]

Project Categories & Organization

by

We’ve gotten to the point that we have a pretty extensive DIY portfolio, which is crazy awesome! I’ve been working hard to try and keep the blog as organized and user-friendly as possible, but it’s HARD! And time-consuming! But super worth it. I added some categories to our sidebar that will make it easier to search for a project, or get ideas for your own project! I also added a new page called ... [ Read More ]

Vintage Coffee Table {Stenciled & Distressed}

by

Although I love what we’ve been doing with our own home lately, I’ve been seriously missing our furniture rehabs for sure. Nick needed a break from it… and I get that. But there comes a point when a girl realizes she’s gotta take matters into her own hands! Nick’s been super busy working on an exciting super-secret project. And I’ve been as bored as a person can possibly be with two VERY ... [ Read More ]

A few items I’d like to address: Is it just me, or are there TICKS EVERYWHERE this year? Ticks are so icky, and I dread the day when I find one stuck to me or the girls. Ew ew EW. I can only guess it’s a result of all the rain we’ve gotten this spring. Luckily our Barn Swallows take care of the mosquito population for the most part. Regardless, we spend a TON of time outside. The girls ... [ Read More ]

How to build a Butcher Block Counter

We’ve had a TON of interest in our butcher block counter that we built for the upstairs bathroom.  For those of you that have so patiently waited for this tutorial… thank you for your patience! It was a fun build, and we’re SO HAPPY with the way it turned out! My Grandfather was an avid woodworker, and had stashed away several variations of hardwoods and softwoods in the old barn on my ...

Build a Custom DIY Trellis in an Afternoon {GIVEAWAY CLOSED}

by

Hey yo, Nick here. SO… funny story, each year I get super excited about spring and go nuts in the seed isle at our local store.  Then I come home and read about each plant and start to lay out where I want everything.   Like a total Rook I failed to notice that my Morning Glories are the type of plant that requires something to climb, like a trellis.  This is the genius idea my Bride offered to ...

Did ya miss us?

by

Dudes and dudettes… THANK YOU for granting me privileges to take a last-minute leave of absence. I needed it somethin’ fierce. Now that I’m feeling refreshed and well-rested (ish), you can expect me to be at the top of my game. At least for the remainder of this week. Ok, I can commit to TODAY for sure. I enjoyed the break, but it’s also nice to be back! You deserve an update at the very least… ... [ Read More ]
