Ok, I have my camera cord!
So here’s the result of this weekend’s progress..or lack therof. But I DO have a semi-decent excuse for my lack of productivity, Saturday was my grandma’s 85 b’day party over in Stroudsburg PA, so I only really had one day to work on the house. Here’s my Grandma Eunice, blowing [...]

As predicted, I made almost NO progress this weekend. Well I did paint the fireplace white, but I brought my ipod cable instead of my camera cable to work today, so no after pics until tomorrow..
No weekend would be complete without a trip to target of course, and while there I found these silver metallic [...]

Here’s where my mind has been the past few days…follow if you dare! (Or just want to get really dizzy.)
Battle of the Blinds
I don’t know if you remember that I decided I wanted roller shades as undertreatments in the living room because they have a smaller profile when in the “up” state. Well the JC [...]

Even though I spent ALL day yesterday looking for wallpaper, I decided to go with Liz’s fab idea of stenciling instead because, as Alana pointed out, wallpapering a small bathroom is HARD!
So even though my search was for naught, I thought I’d share some of the amazing eye candy I turned up from euro wallpaper [...]

With the prospect of a housewarming party looming in the near future I think it’s time for me to finally face the challenge of the downstairs half bath/powder room.
Similar to the so called “master bath” upstairs, I haven’t posted about this room yet because its a) embarrassing and b) overwhelming.
I only WISH i had snapped [...]

The weekend started with a Friday night whirlwind shopping expedition with stops at Ikea, West Elm and Crate & Barrel. At Ikea I got both the white AND natural color curtain for the dining room (what, you actually expected me to be decisive?) and red ones for the office. The red ones [...]

The evening started out well enough, I stopped in at TJMaxx to look for (what else!) pillows and picked these up:
But of course once I got them home I hated them.
For one thing, I think I realized I don’t want much of an overall print on the pillows. Even though the branchy pattern on [...]

Last night Jeff and I took a trip to target and picked up three prospective roman shades..(cause, you know, I can’t be expected to make an actual decision!)
Here’s a pic I snapped this morning (sorry its so dark, overcast skies today):
I definitely think I like the middle one best even though the color is much [...]

I must confess that I have a completely black thumb. I don’t know if its laziness, cluelessness or what, but I can’t seem to keep plants alive..which is scary because we are trying to conceive and I worry what that says about my potential to be a good mother.
But anyway, I love the way that [...]
