Saturday, the first day of this ungodly 100+ degree heat wave we’ve been having here we decided that we would make the ikea trip that we’ve been putting off for at least a month now. I should have taken it as a sign of things to come when I spent all morning searching in vain […]

Mist on Thanksgiving Morning. I woke up early thanksgiving morning to spooky weather more suited to Halloween than Thanksgiving.. can you believe that fog? Thanksgiving day my good friend Amy arrived by train from NYC. She hadn’t seen our house yet, nor had my aunt and uncle on my dad’s side so we had a […]

But we have an excuse – we had our first overnight house guests! We had hoped to have the bathrooms primed and painted before their arrival, but we only got as far as the priming and then lots and lots of cleaning ensued. I have to thank Mike and Tracy because had they not come […]

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 […]

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 are going back […]

It started out innocently enough on Saturday morning..picking up an antique coffee table I won from a local ebay seller for $10 back when I hated the way the dark coffee table/ottoman looked in the living room: Ebay $10 Coffee Table And because Ikea was on the way home from picking up the table, we […]

This weekend included a mini-milestone, some shopping and a whole lot of frustration! The shopping was a happy accident. I’ve had my eye on these white Hampton Bay wicker chairs at Home Depot for a few months now, but when they finally went on sale I could resist them no longer.. And the cute indoor/outdoor […]

Saturday was one of those days when after weeks of preparation and/or waiting, things finally came together in the kitchen. Wait a minute, I’m getting ahead of myself because Friday night is when Jeff actually laid the floor. Yep, it only took him one evening…the first time anyway. I say the “first time” because at […]

So the last week or so has been incredibly frustrating which is one of the reasons I haven’t posted all week long.. and one of the reasons I haven’t been motivated to take pictures, so I apologize in advance that their are no images to accompany this rather long winded rant! To start off with, the […]
