It feels like we’ve been talking about painting our house since the day we got the keys almost two years ago, so we are thrilled to say that it’s finally happening! It hasn’t been all smooth sailing, though, because renovation projects never are, right? Let’s start at the beginning. Here’s our...
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 carry-ons, they are always so...
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 to visit, and even exercising....
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 time we said we had...
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 cringe. With its new coat...
Last week we gave you a tiny little peek into our new rumpus room, so today I want to show you what it’s looking like now. Let me just preface by saying… WOW. It’s lighter, brighter, mintier, bluer, and way way happier. The new paint color is Valspar Sea Air, which is a nice minty...
Happy Monday Funday, friends! I’m probably the only person who actually likes Mondays, haha, but I always start the week super excited about all of the fun projects I’m going to do! Speaking of projects, we were planning on having a cute one to share with you today that’s just not quite...
A while back, a long while back… holy moly, it was an entire year ago(!)… we mentioned that we wanted to add a wall of built-in shelves to Joey’s room, and they’re finally finished! You can see a mock up of our plans from April 2018: One of the walls in her...
Yipeeee, we’re leaving for vacation TODAY! Our first stop is Dublin, Ireland, then Paris, France, and finally Lisbon, Portugal. It’ll be our first time in each city and we’re SO excited. We want to hear all of your recommendations, so if you’ve been to any of these places, let us know in the comments! We’ve been busting our bums to...
You guys know I love color, but it’s probably not quite as obvious that I love neutrals just as much. Sometimes I swing more one way or another, and right now I’m definitely swinging hard towards neutrals. Usually in Spring I want all the colors after a long, grey winter, but...
