Ten things You probably don't know about us.

I know it's strictly DIY around here 95% of the time, but since it is Friday--we're letting loose. I have been tagged no less than 12 times on Instagram to share 5 interesting things about myself, but Chris and I thought it would be fun to share these little silly/embarrassing facts with you readers right […]

Which Blogging Method do YOU Prefer?

Next week is going to be jam-packed with projects to share with you.  Which means our weekend is already filled to the brim.  And you know, we're excited to get our hands dirty after our health has been restored and our supplies have arrived (I'm talking to you, grasscloth).  We expect to have a completed […]

Us. The Outtakes.

A big part of our blog redesign, that many of you already commented on, was getting a new photo taken of us for our sidebar and about us page.  When I am reading a blog, I really like knowing whom I am reading about.  I need a visual.  Are you the same?  Fortunately, my sister […]

A New Blog Look for 2013

We kicked off 2012 with a new blog look: And not that we want to make it an annual thing--we really, really don't--but we just weren't feeling all the pillows against the purple wall anymore--in our house or as our header.  So, we just overhauled the whole thing.  Sounds just like us, right? We bought […]

Chris's Ultimate: Caramel Corn (Disclaimer - this is not healthy)

Ahhh, Christmas. Don't you love this time of year? No matter what you do, simply follow it up with "It's the Holidays!" and people give you a pass. Did you eat an entire pumpkin pie by yourself in one sitting? It's the Holidays! Did you max out your $15K limit credit card? It's the Holidays? […]

Zoom. Zoom.

The first weekend of December (before Greta got sick and massive amounts of snow fell), we stepped away from the painting and Christmas-decking and went car shopping. Like, alllll weekend.  Normally, I would say such an event doesn't exactly fit into the DIY/Home Design thing we got going on here, but some time ago, even […]

Plan A Gifting Scavenger Hunt

As you probably know by now, thanks to Tuesday's blog post and all of the birthday festivities captured on our Intstagram, this week I turned 27.  A few of you have asked what Chris got me for my birthday, but before we get into that--let me show you how he gave me my gifts.  Because […]

Hello, 27.

Today is my birthday. Chris hid presents all over the house and is sending me picture texts from work giving hints as to where I can find them.  So far I have hunted down three pairs of earrings and a dozen tubes of paint.  So, in addition to breakfast with friends, this morning has been […]

Magnetic Knife Strips--You Want 'em Strong.

Back in September, we shared a photo of our new magnetic knife strip that we picked up at Ikea, and today I am back to tell you--it may not be the best choice.  The left side of ours has lost most of its magnetism, so we're left with just using the far right and crossing […]

Buzzes and Crashes. Happy Weekend!

What a 24 hours it has been!  Yesterday, after a month of multiple blood tests, and hitting our 2-year mark for infertility, I met with my doctor to go over all of my labs.  The problem jumped off the paper and I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism.  It explains more than just our inability to give […]

Halloween Haystacks and Egging.

Really, these haystacks have nothing to do with Halloween.  Except that I requested them for dinner last night--which we called "Devil's Night" growing up.  Chris is the cook around here and night after night he whips up the most amazing meals.  Last night, I had a hankering for something simple and comforting--Hawaiian haystacks.  And he […]

It is pumpkin carving season (!!!) and over the last few weeks--but even more so in the past week--I have been seeing all of these beautifully carved, gilded, painted, shaved pumpkins on my favorite blogs or plastered on Pinterest.  Spoiler alert--my pumpkin is no such beauty.
