We no longer have a folding table in our breakfast nook and I can't wipe the smile off my face! This cerused oak round table was the first furniture purchase we made for our home and it's a beautiful one. For some areas, we're doing phase one furniture, but this table is here for the […]

• Earlier this week, when we were all deeply engulfed in choosing an exterior direction for our house, and sharing so many inspiring designs, a follower sent me this article about a couple that sued their neighbor for $2.5 million dollars for copying their home design. (!!!!) It was right after we shared the inspiration […]

(via Amber Interiors) Does your house have a name? We have our own name for our home (that involves our address) but when we were trying to decide on a hashtag (#cljhouse represents our last home) we turned to all different sources. This article was a great starting point. "Once reserved for grand estates and […]

We closed on our old house and moved into our new house this week and that came with a lot of emotions and trials and triumphs. "Bittersweet" is a phrase that is thrown around a lot, and I've even said it myself many times--but this week was the first week I can honestly say I […]

Casual Friday: Closing on Our New home, Selling our Home Furnished, and the Best of May
We closed on our new-to-us house yesterday! It still feels so surreal or maybe my long to-do list has helped keep me numb to a lot of the emotions that are running through my mind: excited, grateful, overjoyed, sad, stressed, nervous, overwhelmed. I'm feeling it all. Sometimes tears just start rolling down my cheeks and […]

Casual Friday on a Sunday | Best of April
We just returned home from a fun couples' getaway to Chicago to visit our friends Kim & Scott (yellowbrickhome.com) along with John and Sherry (younghouselove.com)! It was a trip that we had been planning since January when we decided we were all such good friends that come from three vastly different places--how amazing would it […]

Casual Friday (House Hunting, Don't Wait, The Deck & More)
For the last few years, we've been living in the most ideal situation that could exist--my parents have lived next door. And before you secretly go whisper-ask Chris if he felt the same way, he really does. We're incredibly close to both of our parents. My mom is our nanny during the days so that's […]

Casual Friday, and other fun things like Asbestos
Earlier this week, in preparation for laying new floors at the Fullmer Kitchen project, we got a test kit for asbestos. While the creamy white vinyl floor with checks and florals we uncovered during demo was clearly from the late 80s/early 90s, there was another layer of flooring we discovered under the cabinets. Our plan […]

Casual Friday : What's your enneagram, Hawaii & My Favorite One-Pieces
Have you ever had a non-affectionate child? Polly is definitely our least affectionate child. She never gives kisses (to me or anyone--ever!), never wants to hug and rarely ever snuggles in to the crook of my neck, which is why I'm so glad Chris snapped this photo of us after her doctor's appointment the other […]

Our cabinet line with Semihandmade was supposed to debut in the press and major magazines with photos of the completed cabin kitchen, that never saw completion. It's added another complex layer of sadness, even guilt (not that I had any control or could have predicted the fire) that I'm still trying to process. While there […]

Casual Friday: Flip House Hunting!, Hair Magic, & Kitchen Art
A little over a week ago, when we still felt pretty lost on what direction we wanted to go after the fire. When in our brains it felt like we could go any direction but my heart was still so fragile to commit to anything--someone suggested we needed a rebound. We needed a non-committal, just for fun, […]
