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 [...]

Smokin’ the reefer! Sorry…I just couldn’t contain myself and HAD to throw in a little Super Troopers quote/blog title spoof since tonight’s post is all about how I organized our DVD collection. For those of you who haven’t seen Super Troopers and don’t quite understand what’s going on here, feel free to take a little ten minute break from your regularly scheduled programming to check out the Super Troopers opening [...]

4 Comments So some of you super-observant readers out there may have noticed in yesterday’s post, but there has been a little rearranging going on in the living room and parlor at Casa Campbell. More specifically, a little chair re-arranging. Before, there was this pink chair in the living room: And then this matching pink chair in the parlor: But then I brought home this guy (you may recognize him from my [...]

Tonight’s project is quick and dirty, kind of like…wait….I’m not gonna go there…not tonight. That’s more like a late night Saturday night post and not a late for a Thursday work night as I’m blogging away and really dreading to wake up and go to the office on Friday morning post. So anyway…we hung some of Colby’s guitars in the living room. Tah-dah! Colby’s guitars were hanging out in the [...]

1 Comment One of my favorite “perks” of getting married (other than marrying my best friend…cheese police…cheese police!) is the registry completion discounts. No joke, those discounts are nice! Of course I know why the stores have these perks. The marketing geek in me says that it entices poor brides to spend their wedding money at their store, but the bride in me says, “ooooooh….discount!”. Pottery Barn was one of the places [...]

So some of you super observant, sneaky sneaky folk (but surprisingly not my mom), may have noticed the new addition to our living room back when we posted about our little fall art project. Yes, there’s a rug in town! And by in town, I really mean in the living room. Our living room was desperately in need of a rug. It was all bare floors and naked up in [...]

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 [...]

Shortly after the arrival of our new couch (shortly as in we had to have a nap on the couch first…obviously) we put our curtains back up. And since we’re working on upgrading the living room overall, it was time to update the curtain rods from those basic, costs a buck curtain rods to something with a little more pizzazz. On my quest for the perfect curtain rod, Target sadly [...]

Another 30 Before 30 task is officially crossed off the list…the new “big girl” couch is in the house and the too small love seat is officially outta here! Booyah! Well…technically the too small love seat has been relocated to Colby’s shop aka man cave in the basement. Without further ado, I introduce you to our new, grey sectional with a chaise. But before you can REALLY appreciate the new [...]

Confession…sometimes I add things to my to-do list just so I can cross them off two seconds later. Like I did this evening when I wrote down “paint living room trim” on my to-do list and promptly crossed it off. Ding dong the trim is done! And the furniture was moved back into its rightful place. It never ceases to amaze me how much of a difference a fresh coat [...]
