My people. My dear DEAR people. Did you survive the holidays? Do you have even more family Christmas gatherings to attend? I feel that it would be in my best interest (and everyone elses?) to take a 2-day nap, followed by stripping the house of all Christmas décor, and finding a ‘home’ for every single new item acquired over the holidays. THE CLUTTER. It’s taking over my life. And my marriage. ... [ Read More ]

Decorative Mosaic Tray

by

Heyyyyyy dudes! Happy Friday one and all! We survived the week, yeah?! I’m especially excited for this weekend, because we have nothing planned. Zilch. Those are my favorite of weekends, because I feel like I get to truly unwind and spend time with my family. I used to be such a people person... WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME?! Anywho! I have another fun-slash-simple project today... Contain your ... [ Read More ]

Styled x3 Challenge… THE WOODEN BOWL!

by

One of my fave blogging buddies, Stacy from Not Just a Housewife, has a monthly series where she sends a couple bloggers the same exact item to do with whatever they want. Each month it’s a different item, and each month it’s different set of bloggers... and each month the outcome of people’s creativity always astounds me! Stacy calls it Styled X3. So obviously with such a fun premise, I’m ... [ Read More ]

A Tour of our Homestead!

by

Holy cow you guys! I’m just now coming down off the high of having a video go viral. Sooooo CRAZY! Thanks to everyone that shared it! Today’s post is a little different than my typical... I don’t normally do the ‘Home Tour’ posts, but my HOME tab above needs updating anyway, so why not share it in a post too?! If you’re stopping over from Charles and Hudson... welcome to Sawdust and Embryos! ... [ Read More ]

The kitchen is no longer teal

by

One of the first things we did when we moved into our house was PAINT THE KITCHEN. I got all brave and went with this dark teal color to contrast my white cabinets and chunky white trim, and I absolutely loved it. And apparently you did too, because that post about me painting the kitchen has been pinned over 700,000 times on Pinterest. In my pajamas. The big draw to this room was that one ... [ Read More ]

A mirror? In a BATHROOM?

by

Do you know how long it’s been since we had a mirror in our bathroom? Let’s just say I gained and lost 50 lbs since then. As far as I’m concerned, my collar bones were visible the whole time. Remember when the bathroom looked like this? I know that pic isn’t altogether hideous. I actually loved that mural I painted for a period of time. But it was just dark and icky-feeling. And that burnt ... [ Read More ]

Operation Laundry Room {Shaker Cabinets}

by

It occurred to me that we haven’t done an update on Operation Laundry Room since before Christmas. Oopsy! Nick has been finishing up some big things in this ‘luxury laundry SUITE’  (ha!) so I figger it’s time to let you in on the magic. This is where we left ya last time. If you haven’t been following for the last year, click here for a quick update with before pics and details on what we’ve ... [ Read More ]

A little kitchen switcheroo

by

So the layout of our kitchen is a little strange. This random little piece of cabinetry next to the pantry… it just looks out of place. All of it. Another thing that looks out of place is this random little corner of the kitchen. Here’s another view. Something needs to go there, right? So one fine day, whilst Nick was innocently at work, I took a crowbar and my cordless drill, and started ... [ Read More ]

Looking back at 2014

by

It’s been a whirlwind of a year for us. My one and only New Years resolution from last year’s Round Up Post was to get knocked up… quite possibly the only resolution I’ve actually achieved success at in the history of my entire life! We spent the first part of the year painting backsplashes to save money for our FET, which we did, and paid for in cash last June. After an emotional and ... [ Read More ]

Operation Laundry Room {Vanity}

by

Something very exciting happened this week… WE CAN WASH OUR HANDS IN THE ACTUAL BATHROOM instead of going to the kitchen. It’s been over a year since we ripped out the shower, and started preparing to make this a luxurious bathroom / laundry room suite. Remember when it looked like this? Old Skool. So let’s do a little recap since this has been a year in the making (and far from done)…So the ... [ Read More ]
