Wood-Disk Table Lamps {& Wiring Tutorial}

by

I’ve been really pushing myself to step out of my comfort zone lately (namely with the breakfast bar). I don’t know what came over me… it’s not like it’s even New Years yet. I just resolved to do more on my own without relying on others to do things FOR me. One such thing that would have normally intimidated me is ELECTRICAL ANYTHING.

Breakfast Bar Counter {Live-edge & Lacquer}

by

Today I’m hear to share the final chapter in my Breakfast Bar build that I’m tacking BY MYSELF! As you know, I framed in a wall to the existing kitchen island, made my own corbels with the scroll saw, and installed AirStone over the plywood bar. The next obvious step is to add a counter top… but given the fact that our existing counters are old (and it would be impossible to match) I knew I ... [ Read More ]

So I hope you don’t feel that I’m being callous by thinking and ... [ Read More ]

Patio Installation {Part 1}

by

And ever since we built the pergola, it’s been screaming for a patio beneath it. Plus, Nick needed to take a break from the confines of the laundry room transformation. And I don’t blame him… seeing as there are no windows in there, and it’s GORGEOUS ... [ Read More ]

Random Matters

by

We’ve been fighting a war against sickness. I only have a minor cold, but the girls and Nick have really gotten slammed. So needless to say thing have been slow moving around here. But we kinda needed that anyway... after the crazy holiday season. The first week of January is MEANT for lounging around! I just wish we could all be lazy AND healthy. We did however, get the opportunity to sneak ... [ Read More ]

An update of sorts

by

This has been one of those weeks where a lot of DIY has been happening... but not a lot that might interest you. For example, feast your eyes on Nick’s progress in our ‘Future Laundry Room / Bathroom’. That’s right. Nick built a sub-wall, and began the proceedings for what will be all the plumbing/electrical mumbo jumbo that hides behind the washer and dryer. How the boy knows how to do these ... [ Read More ]

Our Home

Welcome to our 116-year-old home on 5 grassy acres in the middle-of-nowhere Iowa! I love the character of old homes, while my husband gets a real kick out of the fact that THERE ARE NO RIGHT ANGLES. Click here to read the story about us finding our dream home. It seems only natural to start our home tour at our doorstep. We put in this giant rounded patio and pergola a few summers ago, and ...
