I know how blessed I am to have a pantry, so I’m seriously not complaining. But it’s in need of some organization… especially the spices. Awhile back, my friend Dana and I etched baby food jars for my spices, and while I love this look, sometimes it can be hard to read. So I’ve been wanting to add stickers to the tops too. I just went online and found free label templates, added the text ... [ Read More ]

Operation Laundry Room {wiring/plumbing}
Remember how we tore out our stand-up shower with plans to make our giant downstairs bathroom into a dreamy laundry room? This project has been frustrating for me, because there’s not a lot I can do to help... and it seems like nothing is getting done. But the truth is that A LOT is getting done. It’s just not the pretty stuff. Check out all this wiring and plumbing. WOOF. My husband's ... [ Read More ]
‘Drip Tray’ for Muddy or Wet Shoes
Y’all. We have an epic problem. And I don’t use the word epic flippantly and without consequence like most of the universe. Do you see that? Melty, muddy snow. *hold me* We don’t have the good fortune of having a mudroom. Apparently 114 years ago, architects weren’t concerning themselves with mudrooms. (or linen closets, coat closets, or pantry’s... just sayin’) This is where we ... [ Read More ]
Operation Laundry Room {DEMO}
So we have this GIANT BATHROOM on the main level of our home. It’s wasted space. Might as well put up a disco ball and have a dance party. I mean...what.is.UP with that useless cove to the left of the useless stand-up shower? AWKWARD. Ever since we moved into our house, I’ve tossed and turned at night... dreaming of this room being my perfect fantasy laundry room. Front-load washer/dryer, ... [ Read More ]
How to CLEAN your Stencil (and an update on the Living Room stenciling!)
As you well know, I’ve been stenciling the walls above the board and batten in the living room. It is turning out FLIPPING AMAZING, and the process is taking FLIPPING FOREVER. As you can see… I’m almost done with the first of 3 walls. I never dreamed it would take this long, but it’s turning out even more amazing than I envisioned, so that cancels it out in my head! I’m not sure how the ... [ Read More ]
Looking Back at 2012
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 ]
Custom Closet Shelving ~ A Tutorial!
So we live in this OLD house, right? And apparently 112 years ago, storage solutions weren’t on the forefront of home-builders’ minds. Because our old farm house is without a single coat closet, linen closet… and pantry (until we made our own). But instead of complaining about our LACK of storage, I should just be grateful that we even have closets in our bedrooms! Because we’re pretty sure they ... [ Read More ]
Children’s Table–Painting Chevron AND Ikat!
Nick and I were planning to build the girls a little table and chairs for coloring and crafting, but as their birthday neared, we decided to wait until Christmas so they’d be a little older and more likely to appreciate and use it. BUT! I was strolling through Goodwill the DAY before their birthday, and found this extremely cute vintage-y industrial-ish table and chairs for $5. I just couldn’t ... [ Read More ]
Totally random updates
I’ve been realizing that I haven’t posted anything entirely crafty or creative in the least this last week-ish. Sorry about that! We’ve actually been slaving away on a dining set for a client, which includes a table with two leaves, 5 chairs and a china cabinet. We hope to finish up this weekend, so hopefully we’ll be able to post about it next week! It’s all turning out pretty fantastic. Here’s a ... [ Read More ]
When your fridge looks like this…
We've been pretty verbal about how we shop for groceries only once a month. A lot of people think it's weird that we freeze milk, cheese, bread... (about everything except eggs). But I find that we spend FAR less money on groceries if I go JUST ONCE A MONTH. This means... the last week of each month, our fridge and freezer look like this:...and we just make it work! How do we get by feeding ... [ Read More ]
