Because…1) I’m exhausted after a really long and frustrating week (starting with an impromptu 14 hr round trip road trip this past weekend, 2) the weather is GORGEOUS outside right now, and 3) the Red Sox are on and KILLING IT tonight…I don’t really have a good project or witty tutorial to share with you. Bad blogger…bad. But I do have a little Goose video to share with you all. [...]

The other day I was stalking our house in Google maps because that’s my idea of a good time on a Friday night. I know…lame…we lead really exciting lives. Anyway…we’ve lived in our current abode for nearly three years and for the almost three years we’ve been here, we haven’t been Google mapped. Our house on Google maps is still from when the old owners lived here with the old [...]

This past weekend, I spent some serious time painting the bathroom vanity that we found via Craigslist. And I’m sure you’re all a little bit curious about the paint colors, not just for the vanity but for the entire bathroom makeover. After a series careful deliberations, Colby and I finally decided on pink…bubblegum pink. You like-ie?! And this is just the beginning of the bathroom makeover. We’re thinking of a [...]

I love our dog, I really do, but sometimes he does stuff like this: Look at him sitting there all innocent and smug looking. Yup…one of my favorite things in our house, my beloved orange lamp from Pottery Barn, is officially dead. Time of death 2:51 pm. And I cried. Like, CRIED cried and then I realized it was just a lamp and I would be okay-ish. Emphasis on “ish”. [...]

That’s right…the Colbster and I JUST returned from an epicly awesome Puerto Rican, 7 month belated honeymoon adventure. Are you surprised?! I’m certainly surprised that we’re back in Maine. I’m pretty sure I belong in Peurto Rico with it’s warm sunshine, beautiful beaches, and delicious food. Although…maybe not. Since I turn redder than a lobster without my SPF 50. Yup…it’s confirmed…I am indeed a Maine-ah! Colby and I literally just [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’m still pseudo in denial that it is December. I cannot confirm nor deny that I’ve been rocking the flip flops and lathering on the sunscreen, ready to soak up those not so existent rays. But alas, it is in fact December…and alas, I suppose it’s time to start thinking about Christmas. One of my goals this year was to make my own Christmas cards and as part of that [...]

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.
Use wood glue and a stencil to block the stain. Beautiful.
