I appologize for the project hopping, I realize that I have way too many projects going on at the moment for anyone (including me) to keep straight. Don’t hate me because I ramble.. I think its “pregnancy brain” or that’s what I’m going to attribute it to anyway. I’ll start with: The Nursery and Ikea […]

I usually post baby and nursery stuff over at becoming-mom, but you all are my go to peeps when it comes to design and decor decisions so indulge me for a sec.. We have decided on this mod looking crib and sheet set from Walmart of all places: The room is really small, and we […]

So yesterday I posted about tearing down the upstairs hall built in and how that necessitated buying an armoire to keep our linens and extra bath products in. Never one to pass up an excuse to shop, I have been obsessively scouring craigslist and ebay for weeks! Finally, a few days ago we hit gold […]

Vanity (and chest) that I found on Craigslist for $150 from an actor who goes by “Bones“ No really, I did because our upstairs bathroom is SO small that I have no where to put my rather, um, “extensive” makeup and product collection. It has NOTHING to do with the fact that its totally shabby […]

Thank you for all of your opinions about the items we were considering buying before last weekend. I thought I should post an update since so many of you were kind enough to post your advice! 1) For some reason we never made it to see the grill…too much chaos with the tar incident. 2) […]
