Over the last few years, as Andy and I have been traveling more often, we’ve learned quite a few tips for how to pack light. When people find out that we went to Europe for 10 days, with just one weekender bag each, and no additional...
I’m finding that the hardest part of not going to a job every day is figuring out what to do with my time. I have a million and a half things I want to do, from projects around the house, to antique shops I want...
Ok. That’s it. We are officially declaring our kitchen renovation done. D-O-N-E YAY!!! If you’re new around here, you may want to start with this post from January that will give you a quick recap of what we did, where we started, and, of course, show you some before pictures. At that...
Our house is painted and it feels brand new! We’ve loved our home for the two years we’ve lived here — on the inside — but every time we’d pull in the driveway and see the boring tan siding and dated green trim, we’d secretly...
