I spent most of the weekend in this state of surprise: I'm happy my fingernails were actually painted for that shot. I spent the rest of the weekend like this: Because that baby …
I get out of the office once in awhile for client-related travel. This isn't about that, but since I was out of the home this week more than at home, …
She doesn't know I'm thinking about this, but there's one very good thing about a friend + co-worker relocating to San Francisco later this month: I'm going to have a …
Alternate post title: Now I Have Kelly Ripa Biceps. This whole gutting and drywalling thing is taking longer than I thought. Pete reminds me that he fully expected renovating a bedroom at …
I'm a lucky girl to have beach access. I'm a luckier girl to be one of the first out on the edge of Lake Ontario when the snow melts and ice …
I'm giddy with excitement about the possibility of having my own homegrown herbs and veggies this year; I've had tomatos, basil, and cucumbers in the past, but I've never started …
Hey guys – unfortunate update! Seems that this shop is no longer in business so I've removed the links, except for the one directing to the Etsy page in the hopes …
Got your attention? I'm not going in that direction. And, I really don't have junk to speak of anyways. I can't turn down these trunks. As in, I love a wonderfully …
I've often coveted the idea of making my house (or at least a room in the house) a little greenhouse-y, with more lush potted greenery than I have now. This bedroom …

That whole To-Do List thing is supposed to keep me in line, huh? Well, it's the end of February and I'm just getting around to organizing the wrapping paper and …
I have a crush on books. I've accumulated hundreds (at garage sales) because I love the idea of someday feeling like I live in a library. And I feel like …
A by-the-seat-of-our-pants plan to DIY some entryway shoe storage yielded pure awesomeness. And, it was free. Tired of not having a place to leave our snow covered shoes, Pete manufactured …
Another dog + home decor-related goodie to share with you guys. I found this picture frame in Anthropologie on the same day I discovered those cute dog drawer pulls. The …
We spent another weekend working on the bedroom renovations in Pete's parent's house. And it's looking good. Instead of uncovering 50 gallons of bat poop (that was last week, which I …
Without getting all gushy mushy, Valentine's Day could maybe, possibly, perhaps be my favorite holiday, even edging out Christmas. Weren't the elementary school V-Day classroom parties the best ever? I …
Today's bonus post is also my first post with some video action. And not directly a home-improvement-decor post, except that the video at the end takes place on the deck, …
