Take a tour of our old house! This 1890 registered historic site in Cleveland’s Ohio City neighborhood was a labor of love for us for five years, where we tackled everything from huge renovations to little tweaks, learned about power tools and design, fell in love with each other and with renovating,...
Happy Monday! Happy November! Happy time change! I hope you guys had a great weekend! So the other day I mentioned how we ended up canceling our annual Halloween party this year. We were feeling a little overwhelmed with projects and it was going to be difficult to get our act together to...
When Andy and I started building Burritos and Bubbly, we divided our strengths. Andy is what I call “meat and potatoes” — he knows how to do the techy coding part — and I’m more of the “sauce” — I love thinking about colors, fonts, and design. Choosing just the right...

That time Rosie the Riveter, a Viking and Krusty the Clown took pictures with a tiger at 2:00 in the morning in downtown Detroit… So I mentioned the other day that last weekend I went to Detroit to visit one of my best friends and her boyfriend. We got dressed up and...
Isn’t this little girl wearing polka dots and striped tights adorable? I’m pretty sure this just proves that dots are timeless — and go with anything. ( image via OldPhotoShop ) I hope you all had a great week! But what’s up with this weather? 60 degrees on Tuesday and now 16 degrees...
I want to remind everyone, before we get started here, that most of the things we are doing in the kitchen are firsts for us. Cabinets, counter, sink, dishwasher, etc… we’ve never installed these things before. This is the third kitchen renovation we’re living through, and the first two were...
