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
{Our Deck} It’s been a long 3 months!
Where have I been? I've been here...just building a deck. This was a long process. Jesse and I only have Sundays to work on house projects, and then maybe are able to squeeze in an evening now and then. And during the week, I only have 2 days of nap time. So this deck building … Continue reading {Our Deck} It’s been a long 3 months!
Help! DIY Emergency!
We are about 70% of the way through out deck. We have all the joists in and are working on the stair treads. They have become a huge pain. It's been so tempting to stop the stairs where they are, but I just keep envisioning full steps down to the yard...I keep having to remind … Continue reading Help! DIY Emergency!
The Spring Going-ons
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
{Beautiful Houses} Newport Beach
I am completely officially house project over whemed! Stressed OUT! I know...I know, in my last post I said that I was going to share the latest projects, but I can't decide where to start. I have about 3 projects that I am getting started on/need to continue, AND then there is the yard, which … Continue reading {Beautiful Houses} Newport Beach
{Update} Kitchen and Concrete Countertops
I'm at a bit of a pause on the kitchen. I laid out a bunch of options (here) that I was trying to decide between, and haven't completed my decision making yet. I've finished the wall color, but have yet to do the cabinets. I did what I always do...I narrowed down my top 2 … Continue reading {Update} Kitchen and Concrete Countertops
Happy Holidays!
I had grands plans of getting some projects completed and posted this week, but instead I've been relaxing and enjoying the season. So until then... Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and see you in the new year!
{DIY} Holiday Felt Garland
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
{DIY} Coffee Table Play Top
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
{Beautiful Houses} Gearhart Oregon
We just barely got back from our trip to the UK, and before I knew it we were off again to the the Oregon coast for our yearly trip to celebrate Nicole's birthday! Most of our trip was spent relaxing, drinking, and playing games which was absolutely the most perfect way to spent a stormy … Continue reading {Beautiful Houses} Gearhart Oregon
