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
Our house has completely exploded with toys. Not only was there Christmas, but there was also a baby brother which meant Lucy completely cleaned up! 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
Our house was listed as having an "in kitchen eating nook." It makes me laugh, it was basically a section of counter without cabinets. It was an odd space. This photo is obviously an after, but you get the idea of the space I was working with :) I had come to the realization that … Continue reading {DIY} Rolling Kitchen Cart
I'm going to be honest about this post. I made the garland last year, but couldn't actually get myself to put a post together before the holidays. So I am finishing it off this year. One reason I love the holiday season is because it totally inspires me to make charming little holiday decorations! Last … Continue reading {DIY} Holiday Felt Garland
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We flew out to Washington DC to visit my brother in-law. Jesse's family all flew out, so we were all able to spend it together. It was a great trip with a very relaxed trip into the city. Lucy is still a bit young for the Natural History … Continue reading {DIY} Coffee Table Play Top
This project took a bit longer than anticipated. But again, doesn't it always. I started a long post on what I did...But then I just decided to skip it and just say tada! It's done. I put hardboard up, painted 2 coats, sanded it, then painted another coat...boom! Then I framed it. Then we both … Continue reading Chalkboard Gallery Wall
I know, I know...I'm totally late on the game on this! I think chalkboard walls may have been done to death. But I have not done one, so let's say it is new to me! :) This is the latest photo I have of the dining room. I don't know what I am doing with … Continue reading It’s been done to death…but I’m going to do it anyway!
The best thing happened a few months ago! Jesse turned to me and said, "What house projects would you like to do this spring?" It was like music to my ears! It may have backfired a little because I gave him a list of what I've been thinking about for each room in the house. … Continue reading Bathroom Tiling: Any Good Advice?
A few years ago, Jesse and I spent a weekend camping on Lopez Island. It was a great weekend, yada yada yada...not the point! The point being that I found a cool piece of drift wood. My guess is that not everyone is going to think it's cool, but I do. I love the knots … Continue reading Put it on a stick: Sculptural Drift Wood
