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 [...]

4 Comments If you’ve learned anything around these parts, it’s the following…(1) we love us a good DIY project, (2) we’re crazy about our pooch, Goose, even though he’s off the charts on the obnoxious scale just a little more obnoxious than Heidi Montag but a little less than Paris Hilton, and (3) I have precisely zero point zero willpower at Home Goods (remember the pink mirror from a couple of weeks [...]

6 Comments Last week, or was it a few weeks ago, I can’t remember whether I’m coming or going these days, I posted about our trip to the Big Chicken Barn in Ellsworth, Maine. We shared all the cool goods that we wanted to come home with. But what did we actually get? This collection of stuff: Oh…and one more thing. The Life Magazine from the month and year I was born.

It’s official…our entry is done! And done with pizazz, otherwise known as entrifical force. And an entrifical force our entry certainly is complete with some organization and Nate Berkus accessories. Bam! Almost knocked you over there, didn’t she?! I told you the entry is sporting some serious entrifical force. Last time I say that, I swear. But let’s step back to the very beginning. Back to when Colby built a [...]

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 [...]

No Comments Apparently I have wedding on the brain these days as I have yet another wedding related project for you this evening (the first project was the first dance art). Although this project is a little more hybrid like and includes a little organization and a little wedding. The other day I was trying to organize and store all of the wedding related paraphernalia that we had acquired. I’m talking cake [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
