Casual Friday: Polly's Sleeping, Eating and Schedule at 6 Months old
Polly turned 6 months old yesterday and I found myself wishing I could enjoy her getting one month older while not trying to swallow the lump in my throat. Every day, I tell Chris, I wish I could pause time. Everything feels so perfect right now. I've learned, I'm a baby person. Parents will often […]

How 6 Different Stains Look On 5 Popular Types of Wood
This post is sponsored by Minwax. We've been wanting to do a wood/stain study for years now and in my head, I wanted to do every type of wood with about 20 different stains each. But with limited resources (not to mention space), we settled on 5 popular species of wood commonly used by DIYers, with 6 […]

The master bathroom has been tricky, to say the least. We've gone around and around so many times, finally landed on something we felt good about, posted about it, then had over 100 comments that made us completely rethink and revisit. Which is a great thing, because what we were thinking just wasn't there yet. […]

Olympic Mountains in the Bedroom
Last week, we said goodbye to our dark and moody bedroom. We painted over the Chelsea Gray we had for three years and introduced a brighter beige with some warm, gray undertones called Olympic Mountains by Benjamin Moore--an appropriate name for this time of year, yes? We initially picked up two paint samples for the […]

It sold out that day, everywhere, and hasn't been back since. I set up an in-stock alert on […]
