New House Sneak Peek: The Living Room

I thought it might be fun to show you a few sneak peeks into what’s happening at the new house, starting with our living room! I don’t have my real camera here, so I snapped these quickly on my phone (and I need a new one … a pink iPhone 6S maybe?!)....

Countdown to Halloween

We’re hosting another Halloween party this year, yay, since last year was such a super great time! Once again, I have a laundry list of things I want to have done before the party. It looks like there are seven weekends left, but we’ll be out of town at least...

First Home Project of 2015!

As Kerry had mentioned, we have a few (read: a huge list of) home projects this year. There was one that we had been putting off that lately has been getting worse and worse. Ever since we bought the house, there has been a crack developing in our upstairs hallway....

Summer of Ice Cream: Mason’s Creamery in Ohio City

Kerry and I used to live in Ohio City. There was this little ice cream shop on a pretty busy corner. It used to be called Dairy Delight. And then it changed hands and was called Ohio City Ice Cream. It was somewhat clear that this shop would change owners...

Eat your brights

We’re right in the middle of at least three not-yet-ready-to-photograph projects, including finishing the wainscoting in the upstairs bathroom, painting the pantry, and a fun DIY project with our kitchen island. While those projects are getting done behind the scenes, I just have to show you these gorgeous photos from domino.com....

inspired by black + white

I’m about to start on my 7th (and final!) day in a row of painting our kitchen, which is all black, white and grey. You’d think I’d want to surround myself with the brightest brights after all that neutral, especially since it’s no secret that I normally love color, but...

Summer of Ice Cream: Honey Hut in Old Brooklyn

Yesterday, July 16th, was National Ice Cream Day. So of course, that means we went to the place that in my mind is synonymous with ice cream: For the first six years of my life my family lived in Old Brooklyn, and we went to Honey Hut all the time. After...

Inspiration: Art and Antiques

I had a whole other post ready for today, and then I saw this house on Design*Sponge and haven’t been able to get it out of my mind! I have to talk about it. If you have been reading for a while, you know that even though we live in an...

Our 2020 House + Cabin To-do List

We start every year with a to-do list for our home — and now our cabin too. This really helps us to brainstorm what areas need work, what projects we want to tackle, and also to prioritize when any of them might get done. It’s not so much a checklist...

Video: Cabin Kitchen Updates + Oops, We Changed Our Minds Again!

Want to see a beautiful picture? Ha, ok, so maybe beauty is in the eye of the beholder! But to us, what we see is a beautiful kitchen-to-be. We got very lucky that the real estate agent who helped us buy the cabin not only became a friend, but her husband is...
