Of course there’s a floor. Come on. We’re not walking around on support beams. We do have a floor. Our floor is actually sort of cool. When we bought the house, I remember thinking that I really liked the floor. It was this black and white checkerboard pattern, and it...
I’m home sick today. So that means the couch + lots of Project Runway on the DVR + online shopping + naps. Now that all the fall fashions are coming out, I can’t help but start to dream about what I’ll wear during our big trip to Italy in October....
I was looking through my older posts, and it looks like somehow I’ve managed to not share many pictures of our Rumpus Room, which is weird since it’s where we spend 90% of our time. If we’re not cooking or sleeping, we’re pretty much guaranteed to be found on the...
For some strange reason, I recently told Kerry, “Hey wouldn’t be a good idea if we made our own wainscoting?” And for some even stranger reason, she agreed that it would be. Not sure why we both liked that idea, but hey, that’s what we went with. We saw this post...
One time Andy yelled, “KITCHENS AND WEDDINGS! KITCHENS AND WEDDINGS! THAT’S ALL YOU THINK ABOUT!” and stomped out of the room. He was totally kidding and came back a minute later laughing. Joking, yes, but wrong? Um, not at all. And that was before we were even engaged. Because of our upcoming...

Yesterday was Joanna’s one-month birthday! There’s something about being a whole month old that makes her seem so much more grown up … we’re not counting the weeks anymore! Every month for the next year or more, we’ll be documenting Joey’s birthdays with photos and an update on what’s going...
After working really hard around the house every weekend for so long, we decided this weekend to take a little holiday break from all our projects and just have fun. We celebrated our 23-month-iversary with dinner at El Carnicero (mm, margaritas!), drinks at Lava Lounge, Easter dinner at Lago in the Flats (sooo good)…...
Thanks for weighing in on our kitchen layout options that we posted on Monday! Andy came up with another new idea that I wanted to show you. If you missed Monday’s post, be sure to check out the two kitchen layouts we’re considering! Someone had asked if the fridge in Option 2 would...
It may be officially fall, but here in Cleveland it still feels like the height of summer with temps in the 90s, which makes this easy peasy, no-bake s’mores ice box pie the perfect thing to make this week. It combines all the best things — chocolate, whipped cream, graham...
