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 [...]

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 [...]

Okay, I’m squeaking out just one last Christmas related post (and only 25 days late…how ironic). So here’s the story…not of a lovely lady or a man named Brady…but of a deer wall hook who we named Razor. He looks like a Razor, right?! A distant cousin of Vixen…just a bit more rough around the edges. He was a Christmas present from Colby’s sister, Margot. She called Colby shortly before [...]

You knew I couldn’t leave it alone…the wedding art gallery that was in the works in our master bedroom. So we recently noodled away at it and took it from this: To this: Ahhhhh…I’m finally at peace with the gallery. It’s perfect…ridiculously, awesomely, perfect. The project was so un-Angie like, at least in terms of how I tackled it. I’m normally a very calculated, planned out, hang-up-paper-templates-and-play-around-with-art-layout type of person. [...]

1 Comment No I haven’t confused my holidays and no I’m not going all patriotic on you. I’m just revealing our little wedding art gallery that we just hung up in our master bedroom, complete with a little “C” art from Etsy. For those of you who have been around the roost and then some, you’ll recognize the first dance art and the wedding invitation shadow box. But if you’re new to [...]

Colby and I have been talking (ALOT) lately about how a great title for a movie would be “Shadow of a Goose”. In fact, Colby is working on the screenplay as we speak. So naturally, I worked it into the title of this post. And how appropriately since we’re talking about a little wedding invitation shadow box we stirred up. Last weekend, I had set out on a mission to [...]

8 Comments It’s officially, Colby and I have been married for exactly three months (as of yesterday). And we JUST booked our honeymoon and JUST sent all our disposable cameras from the reception to be developed and JUST sent out the last thank you note and JUST made our first piece of wedding related art. Run on sentence say what?! I framed up a pic from our first dance and wrote the [...]

No Comments Consider me a bandwagoner. I hopped on and hopped on big time with the Nate Berkus for Target line. I have definitely visited the Nate Berkus line for Target on at least five occasions. Jury is still out whether or not the first visit counted since there was no Nate Berkus gear on display. I asked the Target girl if they were carrying the line and I got a “Nate [...]

No Comments Just to be clear…we’re talking about fall art…f’art…not farts. But if you did, I’ve got a ton of Goose related fart stories I could share…like about his jarting (jump farting) and snarting (sneeze farting), but this is a DIY blog, not a flatulence blog. So I believe the word you are looking for is….anyway….Let’s talk about fall art. And the fall art that I crafted for our overly bare walls [...]

We ended last week by ripping bark off clay pots, bark that I had painstakingly hot glued to the pots and carved the pots with Colby’s and my own initials for our wedding reception centerpieces. But I managed to salvage one piece of bark and had planned to frame it and add it to the gallery wall in the parlor. Well, I just so happened to be cruising the home [...]

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?!
