Is it sad that I’ve had this post (and subsequent play on a Rihanna hit for the blog post title) planned since October? Or equally sad that these are the things I remember but can never remember to pay the cell phone bill? Anyway…so now that Rihanna is officially stuck in your head too, let’s get down to deck business and more importantly um-ber-ella ella ella eh eh eh business. [...]

I would like to say that I skipped yesterday’s blog post because I was having an unplugged, radio silence day in honor of Earth Day…but that would be a lie. Nope…I skipped yesterday’s blog post because I got sucked into a Community watching marathon with Colby. Sometimes a girl just needs a little Troy and Abed in the morning. Priorities. Anyway…I’m a little light on blog worthy projects since this [...]

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 [...]

That’s right folks, we bought a piece of furniture that we found via Craigslist and…GASP…lived! Can you believe that we were Craigslist virgins and that this was our first find? It’s not that I haven’t been trying. I just keep getting rejected! It’s like the dating world all over again! Boy am I glad that I’m married…even if it’s to Colby…um….I mean…uh…I love you baby! There have been couch finds [...]

Since yesterday we started the “long overdue trend” with finally finishing the wooden bookcase that Colby built over a year ago, how about another long overdue switcheroo?! This time it occurs in the kitchen…and with this sad looking dude. That’s an iPod dock/clock radio. Colby and I are both big fans of music in the kitchen. It’s nice to cook and clean while rocking out to Pandora, even though I [...]

4 Comments We finally did it…we bit the bullet and invested in a real light fixture in our master bedroom. Not gonna lie…we haven’t had an overhead light fixture in this room since we moved in nearly three years ago thanks to a little Colby breaking it while trying to get into the attic incident. Anyway…meet our new light fixture…Glinda…the gilded flush mount…aka the good light fixture of the North. Glinda didn’t [...]

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.

A couple weekends ago, Colby and I were out and about doing errands. Typical DIY-er type errands…off to Target for some dog food, the lumber yard for a door, and Lowes for lock set. And as we were doing our otherwise mundane errands, the clouds parted, angels sang, and the glorious deal of the century gods were smiling down on us. At Target we scored three decorated Christmas wreaths, piles [...]

You take off their hats…no…wait…that’s popes in a car. Hmmmmm…I got it! Hang them in the windows and the lofty area above the staircase! To add a little Christmas cheer around our house, I took advantage of some dollar store snowflake ornaments and hung them ALL OVER the house. ”Take advantage” is putting it lightly. I STOCKED up. And came home with 105 snowflakes for less than $20. So if [...]

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 [...]

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?!
