Pictures from Halloween

Happy Monday! Happy November! Happy time change! I hope you guys had a great weekend! So the other day I mentioned how we ended up canceling our annual Halloween party this year. We were feeling a little overwhelmed with projects and it was going to be difficult...

Color crush: poppy, navy, coral, mint

When Andy and I started building Burritos and Bubbly, we divided our strengths. Andy is what I call “meat and potatoes” — he knows how to do the techy coding part — and I’m more of the “sauce” — I love thinking about colors, fonts,...

Surprise: there’s a hidden staircase

So my second week here a utility guy needed to access a closet on the first floor where a certain utility box was located.  He asked if he could remove the shelves in that closet, which I’d actually thought were built in.  He pulled them...

Inspiration: make it bright!

Let’s put away the grey. Say no to the beige. Bring out the sunny yellows, grass greens, beach blues and hot pinks. Make life a little brighter. I’m so sick of this winter, with the sky the same color as the ground every day, and...

Let’s polka

Isn’t this little girl wearing polka dots and striped tights adorable? I’m pretty sure this just proves that dots are timeless — and go with anything. ( image via OldPhotoShop ) I hope you all had a great week! But what’s up with this weather? 60 degrees...

Cabin Kitchen Update: Installing the Cooktop — With Video!

I want to remind everyone, before we get started here, that most of the things we are doing in the kitchen are firsts for us. Cabinets, counter, sink, dishwasher, etc… we’ve never installed these things before. This is the third kitchen renovation we’re living through,...

Feeling thankful

Growing up I never did the huge family Thanksgiving that other people do with aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents. Since my family lived in Alaska, a gazillion miles away from anyone we were related to, every holiday dinner was spent with just me, my...
