The Pretty Plans for the Cabin Bathroom & a Renovation Update

Well hi there! We’ve missed you! A lot has happened in the last two months. And a lot… hasn’t happened. Quarantine is weird like that. Quick recap: we’ve barely left our house in over 65 days… Andy lost his job last week… Joey “graduated” from her...

Make your own giant cactus!

Ever since we went to Palm Springs, California, a couple months ago, I’ve been obsessed with cactuses. Cacti. Whatever you want to call them, they are just about the cutest thing ever. I thought for a while about trying to get my own live cactus, but...

Design Dilemma: Color vs. Neutral

You guys, this week is CRAZY. Andy just went back to work after four glorious weeks off, so now I’m figuring out this whole new life where I’m somehow in charge of keeping a very tiny human being alive all by myself for 10+ hours a day. Who put...

Cabin Living Room Ideas

Oh you guys, I had grand plans to show you the full design for the cabin living room LAST week, and I worked on it every single day thinking, “by tomorrow this will be ready to publish…” Well. A whole week went by with no...

Cutest King Beds Under $1K (+ we need your help)

Eat Up: Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream

It’s the week after Halloween. Odds are, you purchased a ton of candy, and now you have bags and bags of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups or Take 5s because you didn’t get enough trick-or-treaters. If you don’t have Reese’s or Take 5s, I’ve got bad...

Where we’ve been: Cancun

Whoops, well that was an unplanned week off from the blog! If you follow either of us on Instagram, you probably saw that we sneaked away to Cancun for a few days. I really planned on having some posts scheduled before we left, but it...

Introducing our new master bathroom

Oh my goodness you guys, we could not be more excited to show you our new master bathroom. Our old second-floor bathroom was cramped, dark, dingy and pretty depressing. Nothing about it said “master” or “relaxing” or “pleasant” or “let’s hang out in here for...

Choosing Exterior House Colors Is Hard

Seriously, you guys, this is a big one. Working on the inside of the house is one thing, but the outside is a whole new level of pressure. We paint rooms all the time, as you know, and it’s as simple as changing our minds and...

DIY heart elbow patches

There’s this thing I call “cubicle elbow.” Sitting at my desk all day at work with my elbows on my desk causes me to get holes in the sleeves of my shirts. It’s super annoying! When it happened to one of my favorite cardigans from...
