Dry Erase Chalkboard Calendar… Fun, Funky, Functional and FABULOUS!

by

I know many of you are new (ish) to our blog, and it’s easy for me to forget and assume that you remember every post and every project since the beginning of time Sawdust and Embryos. So in the interest of getting you up so speed on our kitchen calendar situation… let’s start from the beginning! The walls in our kitchen have no texture, so we thought it would be so fun to make a calendar out of ... [ Read More ]

Stuff or NO Stuff?

by

So we get to see a lot of kitchens and meet a lot of awesome people with our little backsplash business (S/E Backsplash), and it’s always so fun to see how other people decorate their homes while we’re there. We actually painted FOUR backsplashes this past weekend in the same neighborhood! (Which reminds me… if you want us to paint your backsplash and have several friends or neighbors that would ...

Convictions and Color-Cleansing

by

Below are some of our mostfavoritest projects. (You’ll see in a second why it’s black and white…) I pride myself on thinking outside the box and not being trendy. And when Allison from House of Hepworths asked me to choose a handful of my favorite projects for my guest post, I realized just how many projects we’ve done have been from the turquoise/teal/aqua family… you get it. I made a ... [ Read More ]

Looking Back at 2012

by

Happy New Year friends! We had a crazy wild year of 2012, and wanted to share a few a LOT of our favorite projects from the past year! I don’t think I realized just how productive we’ve been until I started going back through posts and reflecting on the past 12 months. Some of these projects seem so recent, while others seem like centuries ago. If you’ve been around here for awhile, it will be a ... [ Read More ]

20 Simple DIY Projects for UNDER $20! (Great Homemade Gift Ideas!)

by

Good morning! Don’t you look radiant this morning! Wouldn’t it be delightful if someone said that to you every morning? Bed-head and all? Instead of, ‘babe, I think you’ve been wearing that shirt all week’. Christmas cards from family and friends have been trickling in, although we haven’t decorated for the holidays yet (getting the tree this weekend), I broke out our DIY Photo Wreath! This was ...

First Trip to the POOL!

by

This past weekend was that last free weekend we’ll have for a long time. You’d think it would be relaxing… but if you’re a regular here at all, you know weekend and relaxing don’t live in the same world. But I wouldn’t have it any other way! We took the girls swimming on Saturday! I was going with the girls and my friend Leah, but at the last minute, I talked Nick into coming along too! (He has ... [ Read More ]

Dresser Facelift for a Pretty Paisley

by

One of our readers, Brenda, has given us TONS of business over the years. I don't know how she came across our blog back in the day, but a couple years ago... she had us come paint this mural in her living room. And since then we've sold her this end table, painted her backsplash, and made her daughter a profile plaque. I'd say this lady's a loyal customer, and has become a valued reader and ...

A Few Items of Business

by

Happy Monday! What a busy weekend we experienced! We painted a couple backsplashes, barbequed with friends, mowed 4 acres, worked on some furniture, and enjoyed pizza with family members on TWO different occasions! And now for a few items of business:1) All of a sudden, we've started getting a lot of icky spam comments on the blog, so we're adding a feature that requires you to enter some letters ...

Giveaway WINNER… and bonus video

by

Holy busy busy weekend! Is it weird that I'm glad it's Monday? Somehow we managed to paint a backsplash, deliver the woodgrain coffee table (that sold in just a couple hours after posting it last week!), finish an end table (that I'll post later this week), get a month's worth of groceries, and start on a vanity. Feels great just to relax at home and be back in our chill routine.But let's get to ... [ Read More ]

Looking Back @ 2011

by

Well whatdoya know, it's a brand new year! I made it to 9:30 on New Year's Eve... not because I'm sleep deprived though. I'm just an early-to-bed kinda girl. Ain't nothing I'd rather do on New Year's Eve than rent a movie to watch with my betrothed lover... and hit the hay early. I've never been one for making resolutions of any kind, I just like to think of each new year as a new beginning. And ... [ Read More ]
