This is a really random post topic, but it’s something I had on my mind and I think it would be fun if we have more random conversations around here! I have an upcoming photoshoot for work for which we were all tasked with wearing “light blue, light grey, light pink,...
At the beginning of the year we made a big to-do list for 2014, and I like to check in on it every once in a while. The last time we took a look at it was in March. This list is really helping me keep on-track with projects. So now...
We *finally* have an appointment to look at a venue this week. I’ve been emailing and calling places for the last three weeks, so it’ll be really nice to feel like something is happening. Fingers crossed!! While my own planning is still mostly on hold, I wanted to share another of...
Going into our kitchen reno, there were two big unknowns: the chimney and the floors. You may remember from our plans that we were hoping to be able to expose the brick chimney that was hiding behind several layers of drywall. We also were hoping that there might be some...
Our entryway is a huge waste of space. It’s probably the biggest, most open room in the whole house, with a large staircase and gorgeous stained glass windows. But we use it for nothing but piles … piles of mail, piles of things to take upstairs, piles of furniture we...

The first room we started working on way back in August was our master bedroom, but we forgot to ever share our ideas for the room on the blog. We’re not done at all yet, but I just love how it’s coming together. Besides the nursery, it’s my favorite room in...
I have to say, I’m pretty glad to see October go. It was a great month, don’t get me wrong. We went to Italy! Holy moly. I’ll remember that trip for my whole life. But this week, the last few days, it’s been rough. I never thought I’d see a...
Oh, hello, blog. I’m still here. I promise. So we did it. It’s real. We got married! Can you believe it? Every once in a while Andy and I look at each other and it will hit one of us, “Whoa. We’re married.” And then we just grin. Ear to ear. I’ll...
I sure am late today! When your day starts with dog poop in the house, you know it can only either get better from there … or it’s foreshadowing for the rest of the day. Today, it’s the latter. Welcome to the first Monday after a long weekend, eesh. But at least...
