Saturday night, Colby I went to Target. And by Saturday “night” I mean 7:00 pm, after which we promptly went home where I fell asleep on the couch by 8:00 pm. I lead an exciting life. On our walk back to the car, loaded down with toilet paper, paper towels and the all important Goose cookies it dawned on me…Saturday was our blogiversary. The blog officially turned three and I [...]

The other day I was cruising the comments and responding to dear readers, when one of my favorite readers (who am I kidding…it’s like picking children…you’re all my favorite readers) asked me a paint color question. And as a self proclaimed paint fanatic (seriously…I am borderline depressed that I have no more rooms to paint in our house…someone medicate me), I felt obligated to share my knowledge of the paint [...]

I mustache you a question…does Colby have something on his face? I was sifting through photos on my mac this evening, trying to play blogger catch up after the craziness of opening an Etsy shop has subsided just a tad, when I realized I missed a complete step in our bathroom remodel, specifically with transforming the buffet into a vanity. Egads! Oh the insanity! We missed the back splash! How [...]

I’ve been kind of MIA lately. On Instagram…and Pinterest…and even on the blog. The reason? I’ve been up to my eyeballs in rustic, wooden iPad stands that we’ve been selling on our brand new Etsy shop, Roostic. I couldn’t be more uber excited about the success we’ve already had with the Etsy shop, which we opened up last Friday and are already seeing results. We’ll get to that in a [...]

So I owe you guys a little tutorial on how we made that rope shelf that we revealed for the Spring Pinterest Challenge. And since I don’t like owing things, here she blows. A full blown tutorial on how we filled that empty wall with a rope/scrap wood/pulley shelf in our bathroom. I would like to say it was easy…but that would be a lie. And if there’s one thing [...]

I know, I know…I promised a tutorial on how we made the rope shelf for the bathroom, but I used the infamous “ish” as in “I’ll post this tomorrow-ish” so that buys me a little more time, right?! It’s just been one of those days where I don’t want to spend time in Photoshop…AND the Etsy shop has been BLOWING UP! In a good way. Production is having a hard [...]

Do you remember the dancing banana/peanut butter jelly time video on YouTube? Here is a refresher. That’s what I get stuck in my head every time a Pinterest Challenge rolls around. Except that it’s more like, “Piiiiin-ter-ist challenge time…piiiiiin-ter-ist challenge time…pin’trst challenge, pin’trst challenge, pin’trst challenge”. You’re welcome…for getting it stuck in your head too. So without further ado, I bring you the spring Pinterest Challenge reveal day…drum roll not [...]

Ackkkkk! How is it May already? Where did April go?! Okay…confess…who stole April?! I’m a little late in getting out the monthly Insta-Addicted post. I blame our new Etsy shop, Roostic, and it’s lonely little product the iPad stand, which is selling like hot cakes! We’ve sold eight of them since opening up shop on Thursday. Crazy-ness Batman! Anyway, here’s a little roundup of our favorite Instagram photos in a [...]

Just call me Kevin Costner (circa 1999 when he filmed Message In A Bottle). Except nix the “message” part and replace with “vitamins”. And with that, I give you our “vitamin in a bottle” vitamin organization project result. Shortly after installing the first aid cabinet in our bathroom, which was also going to house Colby’s vitamin collection, I scrounged up all the cabinet items and set it up to get a [...]

Hootie hoo, the clouds have parted, the angels are singing and the Pinterest Challenge is back with a vengeance. Challenge accepted. It’s a good day. So our little vitamin storage project has been put on temporary hold (I’ll be back tomorrow to recap it for you) for an announcement from the Pinterest Challenge front. Basically…it’s back….let the project-ing begin. For those of you unfamiliar with the Pinterest Challenge, here’s how [...]

Welcome to Angie's Roost (and Colby's Hen House) where you'll find daily posts about our misadventures in DIY home improvement. We bought a 100+ year old home that desperately needed some love and blogged about our entire adventure.
