Is it appropriate to write about Valentine’s Day ten days after the date? I know, I’m a little late but better late than never, right?! Besides…I couldn’t resist posting about Valentine’s Day this year because it was oh so cute and oh so perfect. I also should preface that neither of us is really cuckoo for Valentine’s Day (last year we celebrated it along with 8 of Colby’s male millwork [...]

It’s back! The Pinterest Challenge Winter Edition! Game day bucket go boom! For those unfamiliar with the KFC “game day bucket go boom” commercial, you can check it out here on YouTube. I adore Pinterest Challenge time. It’s just the kick in the pants I need to stop pinning and start doing. Although sometimes it just pushes me to start yet another project in the middle of doing about thirteen [...]

When we last left off on the great saga that will forever be known to the world as “operation blue entry”, the only thing left to tackle on the to-do list was to add some art. Since I’m all for working with what ya got, I pulled out a few packs of hula girl postcards that have been hiding in the closet for a few years. Nothing like a hula [...]

Two things…one…I’ve been watching ALOT of Die Hard lately (hence the blog post title) and two…we’ve laid down the pine flooring in our upstairs hallway and took it from this (a laminate mess): To this (a wide pine masterpiece): I’m not gonna lie, we tackled this project a couple weeks ago but I’ve been dreading posting about it because it’s kind of a boring “how to” subject. But I’m going [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

And just like that, our guest bedroom is officially painted. Booyah. I wish I could tell you that we “hemmed and hawed” over the wall color, tested out the paint chips in the room during various times of day and light, and made an informed decision after serious deliberations. But I can’t. Instead, I turned to the Privet House for Target napkins that I picked up last year (they’re my [...]

Have you heard of East Coast Creative’s Creating With The Stars contest yet? No? Well then, you just sit your behind right back in that chair of yours and allow me to enlighten. First up, let’s get a little familiar with Monica and Jess, the brains behind the East Coast Creative blog. I can’t believe I had never heard of them before learning about the Creating With The Stars contest. [...]

Saturday morning, while it was hardcore snowing outside, we brought the white out inside and primed up the guest bedroom. All it took was a couple of hours time and a gallon of primer to achieve the little white box. Not gonna lie…I’m pretty sure this is the best the room has ever looked! It’s so clean in there…and echo-ie! And as I look into our own little white box, I [...]

This weekend was a whirlwind…wait…uh…no…not really. We got snowed in this past weekend thanks to winter storm Nemo. Neither Colby or myself left the house the entire day on Saturday, but we stocked up and prepared for the storm Friday night. And by stocked up I mean we came home with a case of beer (Long Trail’s winter classics variety pack…mmmm mmmm good) and a couple gallons of paint. We [...]

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.
