Our Plans to Revamp the Master Bedroom

In this week's podcast, we mentioned that we were going to paint our bedroom! But that's not all. Over the weekend we brought the speckled shag rug up to the cabin--you saw it in the main living room in yesterday's post. While it might not stay in that exact space forever, the cozy shag can […]

A Fast Bathroom Remodel--On Camera!

A month ago, we got a call from Lowe's that they would like to revamp the how-to videos on their YouTube channel. And by "revamp", they really mean--make them less showy. Isn't that funny? Awhile ago, they invested in a production company, actors, the works (!!!) to film tutorials on how to do basic bathroom projects like: […]

In this week's podcast (live now, right here!) we talk a little bit about some upcoming projects we're gearing up to tackle, including the guest room.

A Peek at Our DIY Standing Desk + The Home Office Mood Board

We made some exciting strides in our studio over the weekend. After not being overly excited about the standing desks on the market, we decided to build our own. We wanted storage. We wanted it sided so there was room for both of us. And we wanted it about 45" high--the natural elbow height that […]

Ep. 7 Chairman of the Mood Board + My favorite Style Quizzes!

Sorry for my absence over the past week. I had a few posts ready to publish while we were away, but we were, literally, working on the kitchen in Pittsburgh non-stop and I wasn't in a place to answer questions or even hit publish. So, we'll save those for this week! The good news is […]

10 Pieces I'd Love to Add to the Living Room | Fall Edition

Last Christmas, we were in Target, and I overheard an older couple looking at some plaid Christmas sheets saying, "These would be perfect in the guest room!"

Greta's Feminine Schoolhouse Bedroom Mood Board

We're slowly getting started on Greta's room. I thought for a long time about it, and I interviewed her about what she wanted (not a ton of help there!). Haha. And ultimately, I decided to go for a feminine schoolhouse feel. Of course some of this could evolve as we start putting things together, but here's […]

Nursery Mood Board: If Faye were a Boy

I recently found a private pinboard I completely forgot about. It was the start of a nursery for a little baby BOY! I started it before we found out Faye was a little girl and I was so certain we were going to have a boy. Ha! So much for intuition. We couldn't be happier […]
