Warning…this post is loooooong! As in I’m about to tell a few too many bad jokes (ie…a man walked into a bar…ouch…get it?!) and a few too many bad puns (case in point…this post’s title). So hold onto your britches folks…we’re bringing you the whole kitchen beam shebang today. Boom….mic drop beam drop. She’s a … Read more
Three things for your Monday morning. One…90s music is SOOOOOO much better than today’s new hits. I mean c’mon…90s Britney vs today’s Britney? Or Katy Perry vs the Spice Girls? No contest. Two…winter needs to be over with a capital “O”. But alas…we’re still stuck in single digits and below. And three…magnetic wall paint is … Read more
Now that we’ve established that not only will Kris Kross make you “jump jump”, but also “flop flop”, I think we can get along with today’s oh-so-riveting (note the sarcasm) blog post about table flopping. But before we start, a show of hands, how many of you now have that dang Kris Kross song stuck … Read more
So yesterday we revealed our pantry finishing touches and also gave you a bit of a sneak peek on how we organized it. But today we’re going to get down to the nitty-gritty of how we organized it! Yee-haw! It was such a fun time organizing the pantry. Just picture me perched on a kitchen … Read more
Let’s finish this pantry, shall we?! Well…kind of. The pantry is signed, sealed, delivered done, fully organized, and functional. But after going through all the photos and photo editing and whatnot, I was left with 30+ pics of “finishing and organizing the pantry”. Uh…long blog post say what?! And since I value sleep these days … Read more
Just stick a feather in my cap bathroom and call it macaroni art. I’m a regular old Yankee Doodle Dandy. But seriously now…I did a little bathroom art upgrade. Enter the feather art stage right. Do you remember a week or so ago when I got the windmill print from Etsy? Then I hung it … Read more
We owe you guys a pantry update. Like a serious pantry update especially since we finished it this weekend (booyah!) AND organized it this weekend (double booyah!). But last we left off on this little pantry shelf saga we were just getting around to installing those pull-out shelves. For those of you just joining us, … Read more
This past Sunday, when I should have been making the Pioneer Woman’s queso fundido, picking out just the right beer at the local craft beer store, and bunkering down to watch the Super Bowl with Colby, I spent my day working on a little project for our master bedroom. And I’m going to go out … Read more
Badda bling, badda boom! The first (pink) glittery, Valentine’s Day crafty project is in the books. Love! Literally…in the form of a some gold and pink glittery “XO” letters which are currently hanging out on our bedroom dressers. This past Saturday I had the house to myself thanks to Colby having to “do business” at … Read more
This week has been one of THOSE weeks. You know the ones. The oh-my-goodness-I-can’t-believe-I-waited-until-a-few-days-before-quarterly-taxes-are-due-to-work-on-shop-accounting-and-year-end-stuff. Never again…never again. Now that I think about it, it’s actually been one of those WEEKS. An Excel and TurboTax overload kind of week. But it’s done. I’ve officially maximized my refund and taxed my brain (pun 100% intended). So I … Read more
I would like to preface this blog post with a round of musings from my mind. It’s a scary place, consider yourself warned. But eventually, we’ll get to my 2014 word of the year, which is “intentional.” I’ve been struggling lately. REALLY struggling trying to figure out what I want in life. It’s been SO fun (she says … Read more
I mustache you a question…do these bull horns make me look fat?! I know, I know…mustache jokes are SO 2013 but I’ve always been one to hang on to a trend for FAR too long! Case in point, I’m still rocking my AC/DC baseball tee circa late 90s. Don’t judge. It’s my favorite tee. And … Read more
Pantry sides in the hizzah (hizzah = house in Snoop Dog terms because apparently Snoop Dog = Dr. Dre…you know…na na na na na the next episode). Anyway…we’re here unleashing pantry framing round 2…ding ding ding…after unleashing part 1 on you back here. So today we’re going to give you run down on how we … Read more
Long time no kitchen talk! What gives?! It’s like we’ve been busy celebrating Christmas and New Year’s and an anniversary (Colby and I recently hit the five year mark…dating wise…we haven’t made it that far yet in the marriage department yet…fingers crossed!). When we last left off in our kitchen remodel, which I’m coining “Operation … Read more
And the award for the longest blog post title in the history of…ever….goes to…drum roll please…Angie Campbell! And I didn’t even prepare a speech! Lucky you for not having to listen to it. 2013 has been good to us and in particular good to our shop, Roostic (find us on Etsy here). I have to … Read more
I don’t know what it is. Human nature perhaps. But these days, I have buckets of motivation to spontaneously rip down sheet rock to expose an old wood wall, a project that took nearly half a day and is still under construction. But when it comes to doing a little decor project that would take … Read more
