Alfresco dining

Patio dinners are one of my favorite things. I just love eating outside in the sunshine and fresh air. The guys who will be doing our front yard landscaping are also currently working on plans for our new back deck. We’re hoping to be able to double the size of...

Our engagement photos

A couple months before the wedding Andy and I had some engagement photos taken by our wedding photographer Rob Drago of rad photographer. We had so much fun taking photos at our house and at a few spots around our neighborhood. We rode our bikes on our street, sat...

First anniversary fringe letter DIY

The traditional gift for a first anniversary is paper, so I really wanted to try to incorporate paper into our party in as many ways as I could. I actually pretty much thought about paper decorations for the whole year. I had about a million ideas for our party, big...

Wood floors in the kitchen

We’re still experiencing technical difficulties due to our host server being down, and I am so sorry. Please don’t give up on us!! All our home renos are moving right along, so we’ll keep posting updates whenever we’re able. Since I seem to be able to access the site right now...

House Tour, One Year In: The Other Rooms

Ok, now I know I promised new photos of all our rooms, even the embarrassing ones, buuuuut, no one has time for that! We have three rooms that have not changed at all, either from the last time we took pictures or since we moved in, but I’d still like...

The new exercise/game room: phase 1

Holiday decorations and DIY projects

We had a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit this year. There has been so much going on at our house that the actual holiday seemed almost like an afterthought. For months we’ve been living with boxes everywhere – the entire contents of our kitchen packed into plastic bins...

DIY Wide-Plank “Shiplap” Wall

When we were designing Oliver’s nursery, the first decision we made was to do a horizontal planked wall. We actually did a similar wall treatment to the bathroom of our old house that we liked so much we wanted to do it again, but that time we did vertical wainscoting....

My March Photo Bandwagon

So I decided to jump on the bandwagon and do an Instagram photo-a-day challenge for March. If there’s anything I love doing, it’s jumping on a bandwagon! And if you follow me on Instagram (@kerryandco), you also know I love taking a ridiculous amount of pictures of my favorite things:...

Surprise! It’s a murder mystery party

So this weekend Andy and I snuck out to Philadelphia for our friend Matt’s surprise birthday party…. and it was also a murder mystery party! We all had our character assignments ahead of time and came dressed up for the part. The setting was a 1920 speakeasy, with some serious mob...
