Get ready for a whole lot of crazy! You may have heard, I'm sure the internet was buzzing. The dimensions of the upstairs bathroom are changing. The contractor wanted to make some changes, for easier framing, and we are gaining about 25 square feet. Which is great. IT IS! But it changes the decisions I've made … Continue reading Bathroom Vanity Crazy
While out house is completely out of commission Like WAY out of commission, we are in a small 3rd floor 2 bedroom apartment, and I am fantasizing hardcore about our deck. Most importantly to be able to just open a door and kick the kids outside, or wander around the yard in the early morning with … Continue reading DIY : Outdoor Storage Bench
I'm going to call this series "A Design Investigation." It's a deep dive into very specific design problems, comparing photo after photo, to get the proof needed to say, "Yes, that will work!" Does that come across sarcastic? If not, it's supposed to :) I think with the exception of carpet and exterior colors, most of … Continue reading A DESIGN INVESTIGATION : Bathroom Vanity Hardware
We have this little upstairs attic space. Pre-kids, which would be about 5 years ago, it was a great little tv spot. The Lucy came along. It was still a great tv spot, but in addition it became a drop zone. Everything that needed to be cleared out from downstairs made it's way upstairs...to sit...and … Continue reading Upstairs Master Room Makeover

We will be starting construction in February or March. I'm telling myself there is a good chance it'll be April … Continue reading House Addition : Post #1 The Beginning

And now at 2.5 years old, she is entering into the stage of little toys and figurines with many pieces, which end up littered all over. I was struggling to … Continue reading {Kid Post} Photo Decal Toy Bags
We've been in the middle of this big bedroom shuffle. Jesse and I are in the upstairs on our mattress on the floor. Turns out the box spring doesn't fit, so we will have to deal with that when we come to it. Funny how what use to be a priority is anything but. I … Continue reading {Better Remade} Lucy’s New Bed
It's amazing to me after putting so much time into creating a room how quickly it can be undone. I spent hours and hours working on putting our bedroom together. I hung a full wall of curtains to block the window in order to center the bed. I definitely a center and balance kind of … Continue reading A Room Undone
It's always a struggle to start blogging after a long delay. I've started so many posts in my head, but never got to a computer or put them in writing. I had an Fall Decor post, a Halloween costume post, and a few Christmas posts, but now that the holidays have come and gone, there … Continue reading {A New Year} Let’s try this again
