The next one is kind of something we didn’t expect to be such a game changer, but we’re so happy we decided to upgrade our old front door. The new front door with windows lets in a lot of light in a pretty cramped inside space (see above photo), allows us to see out very easily and yes, looks good. Most everybody in our neighborhood has a solid front door, so ours is really distinguished, and well the red helps too. But for $200–why wouldn’t you!?
Our Lounge sofa from Crate & Barrel has been worth every penny already–and it was kind of a lot of pennies. Chris and I are both really tall (6’4″ and 6′ respectively) and to slouch relax with our butts far from the edge of the couch–that’s something. We can also pile a ton of people on this couch and I guess, if it ever came to it, we could use it as an extra bed because if you take the back cushions off, it’s as wide (maybe wider?) than a twin-sized mattress. It also cleans up like a dream. Greta was Mowgli (from Jungle Book) for Halloween and the black hair spray got all over this couch and it wiped right off. Can’t recommend this one enough.
has been a work horse for us. We use it every morning and it never complains or moans. We got it last August and we’re already over 300 smoothies–it even keeps track! I’ve heard good things about the Vitamix, but I can only vouch for the Blendtec. Amazing.
I want one of those shoe cabinets so bad! So glad you like it so much!
Love it! I would love to know what green smoothie recipes you use. Future post??
Definitely a future post. :)
I need to get one of those shoe cabinets!
I wish you would do a whole post on your dog and how it has been going!! :)
Thank you! Loved it! :)
Such a timely request, Steph. ;)
All good stuff, but what about your stove/ oven? I dream of a big stove like that for all our cooking, but would it really be worth it?
Yes! I can’t believe I forgot that one. Although a lot of our new kitchen appliances we’re in love with–a deep single sink, our touch faucet, the counter-depth fridge with an alarm and bottom freezer and yes, our double oven. What did we do before that!? Don’t love the dishwasher. :/
We are going to be in the market for a new sofa soon, and I’ve always your C&B one. We’re about half the height of you guys (haha), but that just means it’ll be extra ooshy cushy. Might have to look into it – a good sofa is worth the investment!
It really is. After going through so many, we finally found a winner. We tried out a few at Crate and Barrel and a lot felt cozy!
