Who Wore it Best: Sisterhood of the Traveling Furnishings.
As we're settling more into our home, I've been noticing that some of the furniture we brought with us in the move is fitting pretty seamlessly in this home. I'm talking to you beautiful blue bonus room! Other furniture? not so much. Even still, it's been a fun thing to see how many pieces are […]

Yes, it's true! We're excited to share the news that we are moving! We are under contract on a home about 30 minutes from where we currently live and are closing on it later this month. Of course we'll share all the details after we close, but we won't be moving until we sell our […]

Progress Report: 3 Years In
This week, we've lived in this home for 3 years. Three! I have been saying two and then Chris reminded me that I was just barely pregnant with Faye when we moved here and she is over 2 years old now--forget the fact that the year was 2013 (haha!), I do better with gauging my […]

How to Patch Drywall like a girl, Our Freshly Painted Room + $100 to Ace!
Our bedroom is finally painted, and I can't believe I waited so long to do it. (I say that every time.) But before we get into that, let's first address the gorilla-sized hole in the room, seen in the picture below: See on the wall under the window? Last year, as we were doing the […]

The Great Room is Painted!!!
Last week, we spent a couple hours two nights trimming out the entire great room, which took a long time considering so many doors and windows and cabinets and corners! And then Saturday, we knocked out all the rolling in a couple hours total. And we were left with a much lighter house that we're so […]

Day One
We closed on our new-ish house yesterday! It was terribly anti-climatic, a formality really. Mostly because we had been living there for a few weeks anyway. We already had the keys. We've already started on a few little projects, but now that things are official--we're calling yesterday our "first day." Let the renovation calendar begin! […]

First House Tour: Second House
Over the weekend we realized we hadn't done a house tour video of our new home yet. In our last house, we did a new video every 6 months or so and loved watching our home evolve. In that spirit, and in preparations for our first projects (details to come), we thought we better get […]

A Functional Entryway
One thing this house isn't shy on is hooks. Perhaps you've gathered that from Instagram: As an update, I found two more sets in the garage. 16!! The slightly humorous thing about this all is that there is absolutely no convenient place to hang our bags when we walk in the house, whether through the […]

How We Spent the First Weekend in Our New House
One of these days I'll have to write a post about the lessons we learned in our first house, because we would do more than one or two things differently. The number one thing that Chris and I both took away was, you can't take even a season off from exterior up-keep. When we moved […]

Idaho House Tour: Lower Level
Here's where we left off yesterday: Down these stairs, is another 1700 square feet, and a cute little girl. To the left, there are four doorways, three bedrooms and a bathroom. The room to the immediate left will be the guest room. It doesn't share a wall with all other room and the closet has […]

Idaho House Tour: Main Level
Whatta day. Whatta month! We're feeling very exhausted--mentally and physically--but are happy to be where we are. Monday we closed on our Utah home and signed it over to its new owners, and yesterday we made the 4.5 hour drive to our new town and moved all of our stuff into our new home, with […]

Under Contract!
Today we are headed back home to pack, clean, finish up and share a few projects with you from our current home. And then say goodbye to it. That will be hard. When we first made the decision to move, even if I knew it was the right decision, it was difficult to hold back […]
