Ok, guys, we’re back from our honeymoon, and (almost) recovered from the bronchitis we came home with. I’d love to share some photos with you from our trip. Since we were gone a full two weeks and visited so many truly amazing places, I’ll share the photos over the course...
Can you believe it’s August already? Holy moly. I kind of feel like this is the summer that never was. Besides that the fact that it is flying by, it’s only 66 degrees out as I write this! Um. I seriously caught myself thinking a few minutes ago that I...
A few weeks ago we were having some serious problems with our grill. We were trying to make some salmon burgers, and flames from the grill kept shooting out through the temperature knobs. It seemed pretty dangerous, and it was also damaging the grill. After a little research online, I found...
Before the exterior of our house gets painted, we want to replace the flush-mount lighting on our front and back porches. Our current lights are forgettable at best, especially the light on our back porch that our painter called “a cheap 1970s special.” Embarrassing.

I’m no graphic designer by any means, but I got inspired by hand-drawn magazine covers that I saw on Pinterest, like this and this, and decided to see what I could do myself.

Whoa. We just realized we bought our house a whole year ago. Happy house-iversary to us! I’m making it my goal over the next couple of weeks to take photos of EVERY ROOM, even the ones that we haven’t started at all, to take you on an updated home tour, and show...
Hi guys! Hope you had a great weekend. We took it really easy, didn’t do much, and didn’t even really work on ANY projects, which is so unlike us, but kind of nice for a change. We have four projects that we’re in the middle of, and of course a list...
