In February I took down super old wallpaper in the master that was on the top 2/3 of the walls and painted the top 2/3 light grey and the bottom 1/3 a deep tone! I envision board and Barton but the line is about 1-2 feet lower that what you’ve done here due to the fact that the wall was smooth where the paper was and textured where it wasn’t... would this look odd if the boards were much lower? Love thatbwjat you did was what I envisioned!! Just need to finish the work! Thanks.
The salt & vinegar chicken is a family favorite! Question about the paint storage. Is your garage heated at all? Wondering if you’ve ever had cold temps impact the quality of the paint after you’ve stored it over the winter.
So, this is going to sound SUPER weird, but I had a dream last night (or rather a stream-of-consciousness thought before drifting off to sleep) about painting our very dingy-looking 8 year old playset! And do you know whose playset I envisioned it looking like when finished?! YOURS! Weird, right?! Ours is cedar too, but faded from hours in the sun and years of hard playing. We have a green vinyl top, not a hard roof, and no bench underneath. We have a white house with black shutters and this playset sits in our side yard and is visible from the street. Will probably have to wait a bit for Spring to really happen in the Northeast, but... we want to get our short driveway paved this year and our playset sits next to it so I'm thinking all-around spruce up! Also, will be sharing the chicken recipe with my husband!

It's the end of the day, the kids are finally asleep, and I'm craving something a little...indulgent. But you know me, I'm all about balance! We've been having a blast playing with the Ninja SLUSHi for parties, so you may have heard about that lately, but when it comes to my individual desserts, my heart […]
We're all pulled toward homes that feel like homes—not just model houses. A bright place where you can kick your shoes off and curl up with a good book. That's why I think we're all just a little bit obsessed with the Nancy Meyers aesthetic right now, and honestly, can you blame us? With her […]
Easter is so late this year (April 20!?) that I feel more prepared than usual. I'm already grabbing some cute pajamas, little trinkets, and candies for my girls' Easter baskets. It's nice to feel ahead of the game for filling their baskets for once—although I don't know if the candy will last! Shop The Full […]
You know when you find the perfect inspiration that will be a focal point of a renovation? Well, plastered range hoods have been my architectural design crush for ages in kitchens. I mean, that arched silhouette? Swoon. Kitchen Sources When it came time to redesign our Modern Colonial kitchen after we moved in, I was […]

Our garage is insulated and heated. A lot of garages in Idaho are for storage reasons.

Come on now, you need to be honest about what it's actually like to grow rosemary indoors lol.
Ah that chicken is so good! I think that's going on the menu for tonight
