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
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
Warning: post is low on words, high on photos. With a 7 month old, not only do I not have time for a wordy post, but I don't have the head for it either! Writers block :) I think as soon as I found out Lucy was a going to be a girl, I brought … Continue reading {Better Remade} Rocking Chair
Next at on the top of my list for our bedroom is a head board. Here is the last picture I posted of our bedroom, and my last bedroom process post on the lamps, curtain, and side tables. We bought a giant piece of plywood a few years ago to serve as a beer pong … Continue reading {DIY} Paint Canvas Head Board
I'm just going to start out by saying, this will probably be the least viewed blog post ever! Or maybe it will tie with my Super Random Secret Trick post :) That was a bit lack luster, but I thought it was pretty clever and shareable! I had to do this post for accountability, to … Continue reading Sand Prime Paint! – Part 2: Emily’s Garden Club Chairs
Last year I picked up 2 caned club chairs off of craig's list to hone my re-upholstery skills . I immediately fell in love with their barrel backs and caned arms. Turns out it was pretty fortunate that they had neutral fabric since they have managed to sit in our house for quite some time! … Continue reading Let’s Strip! – Part 1: Emily’s Garden Club Chairs
It's been quite a while since I last spoke of our bedroom. And while it's not finished, there has been considerable progress. Quick flash back It's small! I'm not going to try to kid anyone...it's ridiculously small! The picture on the left is from the doorway facing the north wall. Directly to the left of … Continue reading Updated Bedroom Progress
I have a few stacks of home magazines around the house. One in the living room and a few more stacks hidden away. They range in age from 2 months to 2 years. Jesse has decided that I can't make comments about his piles around the house until I address the piles of magazines. (I'll … Continue reading What did I do before Pinterest?
A few months ago, I happened upon this incredible coffee table at goodwill. I know, I know - probably saying to your self "what's so incredible?" I basically bought it for the base. I really like the modern coffee tables with the steel base and the floating top, and because I don't do any metal … Continue reading The Great Coffee Table Switch-up
