Poor Jeff got home from work at 8:30 last night and had little to no interest in finishing the mural… He didn’t seem to think “because I said we would on the blog” was any great incentive! He eventually relented and worked for the next three hours straight doing mostly cleanup work and painting the […]

Inspired by your positive comments, I came home after work yesterday and my feet were already aching, but I wanted to get the leaves on the mural so that Jeff could paint the monkey and we could finish up tonight!Here’s the mural with the leaves on, only the monkey left to do now.. Funny how […]

When you obsess over the little things like whether or not there should be a monkey in your unborn child’s nursery, life has a way of shaking you up and making you see reality. This is what happened Saturday morning when I woke up to some bleeding which spiraled into a whole preterm labor scare […]

It was a busy weekend at becoming-home! Before going on, I must post a picture of our Cherry tree that is now in full bloom because it takes my breath away every time I pull into the driveway: Saturday was cold and rainy so we took the opportunity to make a trip to Ikea where […]

First of all, I forgot to post this baroque bathroom pic yetserday: Pretty no? It has an accent wall like Iloveupstate suggested! Last night I added about 10 shades of gray to my already absurdly large collection of BM sample pots. But I may return nine of them because I fell in love with the […]

I can’t possibly write a real post today, my head is swimming with random ideas and bits of information on wall treatments and how I can get a metallic-ish, brocade-ish, baroque-ish feel in the powder room. So here’s a little pictoral peak inside the madness: (image from Decor8 archives) from Brocade Home Farrow & Ball […]

The weekend started with a trip to Lowes Friday Night to look for a pedestal sink. Jeff decided to head out to the garden section (which is outdoors) to look for a large planter. Spotting one he liked on the shelf above his head, he tilted it towards him to look inside. Big mistake! Jeff […]

I downloaded the pink image from istockphoto which cost 3 credits (about $3.40?) which was perfect because that’s how much I had in my account balance from people who have downloaded the two photographs I ‘ve had up there for a year or so. Yes, they are quite popular. Then I got out my stencil […]
