Burritos and Bubbly – Home Improvement, Design & Family

Guest room bed inspiration

I went to the Cleveland Furniture Bank the other day to pick up some things for the wedding (I love that our wedding theme allows me to walk away with boxes of $1 things from the thrift store!). While I was there, I saw some...

House Tour: Master Bedroom

Hey, how was your weekend?! That extra day is just the best. We did a whole lot of relaxing and napping and started the really not fun job of cleaning out our attic. It took about 30 minutes of work to fill three huge garbage...

Quick Patio Refresh for Spring

Let’s take a quick break from the kitchen to talk about the back yard! The weather has been SO NICE lately and all I want to do is hang out outside, but our patio is way less than welcoming. Think mildewy cushions, mismatched plastic furniture, and no...

Room of the week: Amy Butler

Amy Butler, textile designer extraordinaire, also has a pretty extraordinary home. Featured in Apartment Therapy last April, I haven’t been able to forget this gorgeous room in Granville, Ohio, near Columbus, ever since. It’s modern but comfortable, cool and warm, new and old. I...

Colorful wedding dresses by Alice + Olivia

When I was looking through the Alice + Olivia Spring 2013 Ready to Wear collection the other day, I stopped in my tracks on a couple of absolutely gorgeous, long, colorful dresses, and my first thought was, “I’d wear that as a wedding dress.” Not...

Inspiration: bright & modern living

I am soooo inspired by this home designed by Depot Rotterdam out of The Netherlands. I love that it’s crisp and modern but yet totally inviting and comfy. This is a great space for a modern family. And those colors! Oh, wow. I can’t even...

Retro living at its best

As soon as I saw this home, I fell madly in love, so I absolutely have to share it with you. The front of this house in Toronto is totally unassuming, but inside is an absolute treasure trove of vintage awesomeness, virtually unchanged since the 1950s...

How to Sound Proof a Noisy Refrigerator

When we moved into this house we had three problems with the fridge that was here: 1) It was a side-by-side. If you can’t fit a pizza box in it, what is the point of a fridge? 2) The handles were broken, and being held...

Our House

We started Burritos and Bubbly while we were updating and restoring our first home, a 3,000-square-feet, three story, 1890 registered historic site in Cleveland’s Ohio City neighborhood, but after five years there we were looking for a change of pace, less house to take care...

Home Tour: Living Room

Hey, let’s keep going on our virtual home tour, ok? Next up: the living room! It’s taken a long time for us to get to this point, but I finally feel like I’m happy with the way this room looks. It’s a great place for us to show...
