Packing for Blogshop

I’m all packed for Blogshop in Toronto and heading north this afternoon, yay! … Well, east, then north, then west, then north again. Oh if only there were a bridge across Lake Erie! But either way, it’s an easy drive from Cleveland and I’m really excited...

Simple kitchen herb garden DIY

I have wanted a little kitchen herb garden for a long time, so this weekend Andy helped me make some simple shelves to hang next to our big kitchen window (and let’s be honest, he did almost all the work). We wanted to share our project...

Updates to the Living Room

So this one time we went on vacation and liked the AirBnB’s couch so much we came home and bought one for ourselves. Naturally. We actually tend to make big changes after vacations. I think it’s partly that we feel so inspired while away, and...

The search is over!

Now it’s probably no secret that I pretty much love everything West Elm does. I just happened to visit their site a couple days ago, like I do at least once a week to look around, and I saw this… Blocked Tulip Duvet Cover from West...

It’s Halloween and this blog has gone crazy

Hello loyal Kerry and Co. blog readers. Kerry had to take this Monday off from the blog, so she has left it up to one of her loyal “and Co.” to take over the writing duties. Although I’m sure that most of you were hoping...
