DIY Painted Salt and Pepper Shakers (With a Sharpie)

When Andy and I moved in together he was absolutely appalled to learn that I did not own salt (or pepper for that matter). I didn’t cook with it. I didn’t put it in my pasta water. I didn’t have some hanging around just for guests. Nope. No salt in...

Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day

Andy and I had a fun day yesterday celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. I’m Irish and he’s not, but it doesn’t matter when there’s Bailey’s cheesecake involved! We started our day with breakfast at The Harp, one of our favorite local restaurants. We had eggs and corned beef and plenty of potatoes,...

An Evening in Ohio City Recap

You guys! We did it! Our neighborhood home tour, Evening in Ohio City, was on Saturday, and we had so much fun! We weren’t sure what to expect with 200 strangers coming through our house — Andy and I are both  social awkward and shy! — but we had so much fun. We...

Baby’s Room: A 12-Week Challenge

Some fabulous bloggers recently participated in the One Room Challenge where they had six weeks to completely transform a room in their home from top to bottom. The finished rooms were revealed last week and they’re amazing. I love the sophisticated nursery that Chris and Julia designed for their baby girl who is due...

Big Reveal: Our White and Wood Home Office!

While our house was nice and clean for the home tour, we took the opportunity to take a bunch of pictures around the house. We’re going to take you on your own virtual home tour over the next few weeks. And first up, the office! I’ve been so anxious to show...

Inspiring Entryways

One of the areas of our house that got a makeover at the same time as our kitchen was our entry. Next to our front door there was a closet blocking some glass block windows that were not only super cute but also provided a ton of light to the long, dark...

So long, polka dot!

I’m leaving you with one last bit of fun.  This photo has been one of my favorite Pinterest pins for a while: Love the polka dots, right? Well, I just came across this cute little video from Emmadime Knitted that features this same polka dotted shirt and adorable knitted hair bow...

Home Tour: Dining Room

Hi there! I hope you had a great weekend! After being “interrupted” by all this baby talk, we haven’t finished our home tour yet, so here’s the next room in this totally-in-no-order-at-all tour — the dining room. This room has had an interesting — and sort of embarrassing! — evolution. It’s the...

Dining chair re-do

I’m super excited about my latest home project. I replaced the fabric on the seats of my dining room chairs, and I think they look great. The last time you saw our dining room, it was in the pink room, but we switched it with the red “reading” room a few...

These brands get me

We got a ton of work done on our master bath this weekend, so expect a post all about it later this week. In the meantime, I wanted to take a minute to talk about how much I loved some of the catalogs I got in the mail this past week....
