Today’s post isn’t about a glamorous project, or a terribly exciting project, but one of those necessities that you just have to pull up your big girl pants and take care of…the attic staircase installation. When we did all the demo work upstairs, we moved the tiny attic staircase opening that Colby barely fit through, from our master bedroom into the guest bedroom. And when we did that, we (and [...]

So tonight I had planned a big ol’ “how to install a drop down attic staircase post” but you know what? I really don’t want to write it. Nope. Too boring for me to tackle tonight. Maybe tomorrow I’ll whip out my jazz hands to type out the attic staircase post. That always helps in the post writing department since it…wait for it…jazzes things up! Har har har! So in [...]

Great…now I’ve got Aerosmith stuck in my head (you know…the song…livin’ on the edge?). But it doesn’t matter because it’s PINTEREST CHALLENGE REVEAL DAY! Apparently that was deserving of caps. You can check out my Pin-spiration back here, or more like in-decision pin-spiration since I had about a gah-gillion different projects I wanted to tackle…cuz that’s a word. But I ultimately decided on tackling a postcard ledge project for the [...]

As many of you may or may not have noticed, there’s a new sheriff blog header image in town. I’ll pause for a moment while you spend a little time ooooh-ing and aww-ing over the awesomeness that is our new blog header image. Pausing…..continuing to pause…pausing just a little bit more. And if you want to see the header image taken to another level…check out the Angie’s Roost Facebook page [...]

Is it appropriate to write about Valentine’s Day ten days after the date? I know, I’m a little late but better late than never, right?! Besides…I couldn’t resist posting about Valentine’s Day this year because it was oh so cute and oh so perfect. I also should preface that neither of us is really cuckoo for Valentine’s Day (last year we celebrated it along with 8 of Colby’s male millwork [...]

It’s back! The Pinterest Challenge Winter Edition! Game day bucket go boom! For those unfamiliar with the KFC “game day bucket go boom” commercial, you can check it out here on YouTube. I adore Pinterest Challenge time. It’s just the kick in the pants I need to stop pinning and start doing. Although sometimes it just pushes me to start yet another project in the middle of doing about thirteen [...]

When we last left off on the great saga that will forever be known to the world as “operation blue entry”, the only thing left to tackle on the to-do list was to add some art. Since I’m all for working with what ya got, I pulled out a few packs of hula girl postcards that have been hiding in the closet for a few years. Nothing like a hula [...]

Two things…one…I’ve been watching ALOT of Die Hard lately (hence the blog post title) and two…we’ve laid down the pine flooring in our upstairs hallway and took it from this (a laminate mess): To this (a wide pine masterpiece): I’m not gonna lie, we tackled this project a couple weeks ago but I’ve been dreading posting about it because it’s kind of a boring “how to” subject. But I’m going [...]

It’s official…yesterday’s post marked our 500th blog post here at Angie’s Roost. Thus, Photoshopping my face onto a celebrity talk show host’s body (one who celebrated her 500th show with glittery numbers) is totally appropriate. That picture totally resonates how I feel about hitting the 500th post mark…kind of fabulous…a little bit glam (hello ginourmous gold “500″) and a lot a bit sassy! Besides, who doesn’t want a glittery intro [...]

4 Comments We finally did it…we bit the bullet and invested in a real light fixture in our master bedroom. Not gonna lie…we haven’t had an overhead light fixture in this room since we moved in nearly three years ago thanks to a little Colby breaking it while trying to get into the attic incident. Anyway…meet our new light fixture…Glinda…the gilded flush mount…aka the good light fixture of the North. Glinda didn’t [...]
