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 [...]

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 [...]

10 Comments I’m getting ahead of myself tonight with this project. Or maybe I’m just REALLY behind. Depends on how you look at it. Kind of like one of those glass is half empty or half full kind of deals. So I painted a bookcase green and plopped it into the guest bedroom. Game day bucket go boom! There is no other furniture in the guest bedroom (no bed, no nightstand, no [...]

2 Comments Today we’re unleashing upon you all our secrets. Well…no…not ALL our secrets, otherwise what kind of incentive do you have to keep reading?! Today, I’m revealing to you our “secrets of a stainer”. Did anybody get the Emily Henderson Secrets of a Stylist spoof in there? I’m sure a few of you die hard Design Star fans out there caught on. Anyway, Colby and I were staining and polying monsters [...]

When we last left off in the guest room renovation saga, it looked a little something like this: Walls up, joints mudded, painted ceiling and walls, and freshly installed wide pine flooring. It was already starting to look better, kind of like Kim Kardashian once she takes off all that makeup. But what would make the room look even more finished? TRIM! It’s like good eyeliner for those of us [...]

I’m just going to get right to this. I am WOEFULLY behind in tackling my 30 Before 30 list…woefully behind! Out of the 30 tasks on that list, I’ve only tackled about five of them and I only have about five months left to finish the remaining 25. Uh oh…crunch time! At least my grad schooling (a master’s in business administration) has taught me the fine art of procrastinating and [...]

We certainly don’t give a ship around here! I don’t give a ship that I’m up past my bedtime writing this post. I don’t give a ship that our dog is acting uber annoying this evening. And I certainly don’t give a ship that it’s raining outside right now. What do I give a ship about? The shiplap flooring shenanigan-ery going on in our guest bedroom. We recently took the [...]

Oh you sneaky February monthly roundup! You snuck up on me like a stalker in slippers! I would say that “I can’t believe February went by so fast,” but of course it did…duh…it’s a short month. Nobody says “duh” anymore. I’m bringing it back. Anyway…Colby and I like to take a moment at the end of every month to recap the month in projects/posts. It’s a nice little breather from [...]

Hello Instagram monthly roundup time…so nice to see you again. Before we dive in, I just have to throw this out there. There was a definite theme going on with our pics…beer. And I would just like to state for the record that we are NOT alcoholics. Let’s just say that a cold, snowy February had something to do with the plethora of beer and painting related photos. Just check [...]

Today’s post isn’t about a glamorous project, or a terribly exciting project, but one of those necessities that you just have to pull up your big girl pants and take care of…the attic staircase installation. When we did all the demo work upstairs, we moved the tiny attic staircase opening that Colby barely fit through, from our master bedroom into the guest bedroom. And when we did that, we (and [...]
