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
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
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!
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!
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
I made progress last week. Well, the past few weeks. 2 weeks ago I did all the tiling, grouting, and sealing. This week I painted. Though I am not finished with the walls, I have to take a small break while I collect my thoughts and ideas. And because our next two weeks are devoted … Continue reading {Kitchen} Subway Tile Backsplash
So after finishing tiling the bathroom floor, I was on a tiling high and thought it'd be a good idea to keep up the momentum and get going on the kitchen. We have a great kitchen - I like the blue, but don't LOVE it. And I LOVE the subway tile in the shower. Unfortunately … Continue reading {Kitchen} DIY Concrete Countertop
It's now been 4 months since tiling the bathroom tub surround. It definitely improved the look of our bathroom, but the job wasn't complete. We still needed to redo the floors. I went around in circles trying to figure out what to do. I was a little worried about tile because it's an older home, … Continue reading {Bathroom} Tiling the floor
