It’s official…we can stick a fork it in. Our roofing project is done-zo! Instead of “Roofing With The Campbells”, I should have named the series of this post “Roofing With Mr. Campbell, Angie’s Brother, And His Friend Adam While Angie Snapped Pics From The Driveway.” But that was just too long of a title. I’m not gonna lie. I helped for about two hours on this project and by helped [...]

As promised yesterday when I introduced our little “Roofing With The Campbells” series where we’ll be chronicling the task of re-shingling our home, today is the big “How To Calculate Shingle Quantity” post. And of course what would an epic bloggy series be without an equally epic logo?! That’s what I thought! Before we could even begin to shingle our roof, we needed to figure out how many shingles we [...]

Colby and I have some big plans coming up in the oh so near future, as in this weekend. I pretty much gave away the milk for free with the blog post title, so I’m just going to spray it spit it out. We’re about to shingle our own house. AND I’m going to blog the heck out of it in a little series I like to call “Roofing With [...]

I can feel it coming in the air tonight…Oh Lord…I can’t believe I just brought out some old school Phill Collins. I just can’t contain my excitement. Now we just need Mike Tyson and a tiger to make this little announcement even more exciting. And maybe Alan too with his satchel. Without further ado…the Pinterest Challenge Fall Edition is BACK. I love the Pinterest Challenge…like seriously love the Pinterest Challenge. [...]

2 Comments The other night I had one of those “whoa” moments. It’s the end…I repeat…the end of October. What happened?! Where did the month go?! Or more importantly…why haven’t I decorated for Halloween yet?! I’m wasting precious Halloween decor time here since there’s only a discreet window of opportunity for Halloween decor. I hadn’t even crafted a single spooky decoration yet. What gives?! It’s like I don’t even know who I [...]

Now I have the Counting Crows song “I’ve Been Hanging Around” stuck in my head. Sweet (she says sarcastically). At least it’s a good song that reminds me of my high school days. On second thought, maybe that’s not such a good thing. Anyway, we’ve got a new kitchen closet organizer hanging around these days thanks to some quick and easy closet tweaking. What’s it been…like four days since organizing [...]

So we’re back with another rousing round of $#*! My Husband Says. Let’s be honest here, it’s Thursday, it’s been a long week at work, I’m tired, and my butt has been permanently implanted on the couch. Seriously, it needs to be surgical removed here. Thus, house projects are just not happening here tonight…nor is photo editing. So in lieu of house projects, I’m here to inject a little bit [...]

One thing that I try to do with this blog is share not only the good but the bad when it comes down to DIY and decorating. The “failures” so to speak. Although I prefer to call them “happy accidents”. I learned that one from one of my elders…well…technically it was Bob Ross who had happy little accidents while painting which he turned into trees. This happy little accident isn’t [...]

It’s not so much my drawers that you’re gonna get to take a peak at tonight as it’s more like my baskets. Closet baskets to be more specific. You thought I meant underwear, didn’t you?! Silly fools! Anyway, yesterday we left you hanging Cliff Hanger style and showed you our finished, trimmed up, stained up, painted up, doors installed, hum dinger of a kitchen closet. And today…we’re gonna open up [...]

Is it stuck in your head too? You know…the nineties pop song?! Let me help you remember. I introduce to you the musical stylings of Ms. CeCe Peniston circa 1991: It’s coming back to you now, isn’t it. Welcome to my head where that song has been on perma repeat for the last 48 hours as we’ve FINALLY finished our closet remodel…booyah: And now for a little closet project timeline [...]

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.
Jars of citrus fruit on the counter
Dining room filled with vintage finds
I know this is an outdoor space, but how great is that rustic wood coffee table for a living room?!
