Pete knows I've got a thing about efficiency. About productivity. About not driving all over town uselessly, which is why he's likely to be question/tease/remind me about this birdhouse until …
Rugs are essential, that's one of the few things I've learned from my dog. He's totally miffed at us for removing his wall-to-wall dog bed. It was months ago, way early on …
There will be very few occasions in our home-improving life that warrant an ALL-CAPS title and a celebration with sparklers and cake. Finishing the installation of our maple floors is …
The holiday season has been exceptionally kind to us so far, if you consider that I've found time to make a lot of cookies and not a lot of time …
Our master bedroom is a beautiful, beautiful sight. I'd say so, at least. We spent the entire first month of Hattie's life trying to figure out when we could finish the …
It’s time for a beautiful switch. Their words, not mine, but one might say that they basically took the words right out of my mouth. Over the next few months, …
