The Spring Going-ons

May 12, 2014May 12, 20141 Comment

Last week Apartment Therapy did a post on DIY concrete counter tops.  I saw the article, and embarrassingly enough I glanced at it a few times when it would pop up in by FB feed, and on the third day I saw this: That's right, do you see the little mini tile on the lower … Continue reading The Spring Going-ons

Front Yard Progress

October 9, 2012October 9, 20121 Comment

I started back at work last week.  It's part time, so I can't complain, but even part time, I feel like I am not able to get much done.  My days are spent playing catch-up.  Before maternity leave I never would have believed how much time I could spend cleaning and organizing, and yet never … Continue reading Front Yard Progress

New Siding is on it’s way!

May 4, 20123 Comments

I mentioned in my last post that we had a contractor coming by the house...We are residing!  Originally I was hoping to reposition the windows AND reside, but it was going to be twice the amount...plus we have to have the house painted on top of that, so instead I am hoping to improve the … Continue reading New Siding is on it’s way!

A modified achievement

April 18, 20121 Comment

In my 30 before baby post, I listed that one of the things that we needed to get done was build a second raised vegetable garden bed...Turns out that there are many more than 30 things that I need to do before I have the baby :)  Like for today's example, find a new location … Continue reading A modified achievement

Nothing big, but a lot of little things

March 5, 20124 Comments

The past few weeks have been a bit busy.  We flew out to Boston to meet the newest addition to my husband's family.  It was a nice getaway, a little cold, but still pretty relaxing. When ever I miss a weekend around the house though, I tend to go into crazy mode the following week … Continue reading Nothing big, but a lot of little things

A Growing Vegetable Garden

August 31, 2011August 31, 20114 Comments

After building our new monster garden bed (at least I thought it was monster size until our vegetables started spilling over the edges) I couldn't wait to get my starts planted.  I spent months with my little seeds all lined up under a grow light in the garage, and with the delay of summer they … Continue reading A Growing Vegetable Garden

{Better Remade} flagstone walkway

August 17, 2011August 18, 20112 Comments

Since we moved in we have been unhappy with our front walkway.  The owners threw down flagstone pavers on top of loose gravel right before the house went on the market, and since then the grass has completely taken over.  The worst part was that when wearing heels I had to be very cautious to … Continue reading {Better Remade} flagstone walkway

Progress on the front yard

August 4, 20111 Comment

Quick recap...Here is our front yard when we bought the house When we purchased the house a few years ago there were little garden beds in the front of the house. It's not the prettiest view, but you can see the trees that run along the fence.  They basically prevented anything from growing.  We waited … Continue reading Progress on the front yard

When things don’t work out as well as you plan

August 1, 20111 Comment

We've been working on our front yard and trying to come up with ideas to liven it up! I've been brainstorming ideas to add some dimension and interest to help distract from the funny windows (seen here).   We were playing around with maybe planting a tree or two in the front, so imagine my excitement … Continue reading When things don’t work out as well as you plan

This is our original house, in a photo taken by the city of Seattle in 1940 Cute, right?  Totally charming! But at some point in the last 70 some years, one of the owners decided to do an addition, and tacked the living room on to the end of the house like this Totally awkward!  … Continue reading Our funny little house
