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 [...]

Before I dive into today’s blog post I need to explain the title and the associated Jeanne-ism. Jeanne is one of my co-workers, probably one of the loudest, and one of her top ten phrases is “succa-please”.

At least it’s comfy. Monthly roundup time [...]

It’s officially February so I’m officially allowing myself to “think pink” as in Valentine’s Day pink. Can we just take a minute to recognize the fact that I have NEVER set out a single decoration for Valentine’s Day?! Strange huh?! It’s like I don’t even know who I am anymore! Especially since I’m all about decorating for various holidays and pink is my favorite color. Well, a Valentine’s Day decorator [...]

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.

Back to when Colby built a [...]
