Our Pressure Washer is Our Best Friend + A Giveaway!!
This post and giveaway is sponsored by Briggs and Stratton. Pressure washing is, pretty much, our favorite summer hobby around here. In our most recent podcast, it was only a half-joke when we say we pressure wash every day. So we were very excited when Briggs + Stratton asked if they could send us one of their […]

A Simple, Little Gadget that Changed our Lives + A simplehuman giveaway!
This post is sponsored by simplehuman. Chris has always been hyper-aware of cross-contamination in the kitchen. He wears gloves when handling raw meat. We have a touch faucet so he can turn on the water--with his elbow!--and we now have a sensor soap dispenser from simplehuman. (We love it so much, at the end of […]

How We Keep Our Home Clean with a Big, Hairy Dog
Charly has been a member of our family for over three years now and we can't imagine this home without her. I'm not going to lie, having never had a dog before, it took me a couple weeks to get used to her and that hair and drool (I actually lost my appetite for 9 days […]

This post is sponsored by Wagner. Yesterday, we showed you the finished hall half bath. A lot of work went into the quick makeover and the results left us with a fresh looking and feeling space. The only things we didn't get to were swapping out the faucet (we'll find the perfect one soon) […]

Say Goodbye to Those Gray Scratches on Your White Dishware
Shortly after Chris and I got married, we bought ourselves ten plain white dishes. They weren't super expensive--maybe $2.50 a piece?--but we loved the classic look and hoped we could hang on to them for a long, long time and use them for all the dinner parties we planned on having. Well, we definitely have […]

That Dirty-Secret-of-a-Garage has been Tamed.
I can't believe we did it. We cleaned and organized this mess in less than 24 hours: Wednesday night my mom and I worked until about 10:30pm and were so excited when we quit for the night because you could see the garage floor on one side. Yesterday, our progress went a lot faster thanks […]

Our Dirtiest Secret.
Ugh. The garage. We don't include it in house tours. We don't take photos of it. We rarely open it because we don't want our neighbors seeing this: Our biggest, messiest, dirtiest secret. It is mostly one huge pile of renovation debris consisting of old carpet, sheet rock and wood. Or at least that is […]
