Consider yourself warned…this post is beefy…to match our beefy desk! I know…I got all (sarcastic) “original” up in the blog post title. But it was either that or “A Series Of Unflattering Pictures Of Colby Building A Desk”. Apparently I’m not overly creative these days. I blame the heat. Anyway…the other day we told you … Read more
I’m about to tell a little story, and not one of those stories where you have to find twenty dollars at the end of it just to make the story good. I’m very familiar with those stories…they’re my specialty. Except I usually have to find one-hundred dollars at the end of my stories because they’re … Read more
To wrap up our little “Blogiversary III” celebration this week, I thought it would be fun to do a little Day-In-The-Life post where you could follow me around for a “typical” day. Air quotes typical because it wasn’t necessarily a typical day for me (Wednesday), which was a work day and a slow one since … Read more
Once upon a time we had a yellow bathroom with cute little labeled towel hooks. Then, one day, the big bad Goose came along. And he huffed and he puffed and he pulled those towels down. Until he ripped out a couple hooks (only one of those hooks is still properly secured). For some reason, … Read more
As if I don’t get enough web stats and analytics during the work day (I’m a marketer by day and blogger by night), we’re gonna nerd out on you on the blog this evening with a little statistical analysis. Wait…don’t go…these are fun stats! So instead of marketing stats like average time on site, click … Read more
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 … Read more
Saturday night, Colby I went to Target. And by Saturday “night” I mean 7:00 pm, after which we promptly went home where I fell asleep on the couch by 8:00 pm. I lead an exciting life. On our walk back to the car, loaded down with toilet paper, paper towels and the all important Goose … Read more
I mustache you a question…does Colby have something on his face? I was sifting through photos on my mac this evening, trying to play blogger catch up after the craziness of opening an Etsy shop has subsided just a tad, when I realized I missed a complete step in our bathroom remodel, specifically with transforming … Read more
I’ve been kind of MIA lately. On Instagram…and Pinterest…and even on the blog. The reason? I’ve been up to my eyeballs in rustic, wooden iPad stands that we’ve been selling on our brand new Etsy shop, Roostic. I couldn’t be more uber excited about the success we’ve already had with the Etsy shop, which we … Read more
So I owe you guys a little tutorial on how we made that rope shelf that we revealed for the Spring Pinterest Challenge. And since I don’t like owing things, here she blows. A full blown tutorial on how we filled that empty wall with a rope/scrap wood/pulley shelf in our bathroom. I would like … Read more
Do you remember the dancing banana/peanut butter jelly time video on YouTube? Here is a refresher. That’s what I get stuck in my head every time a Pinterest Challenge rolls around. Except that it’s more like, “Piiiiin-ter-ist challenge time…piiiiiin-ter-ist challenge time…pin’trst challenge, pin’trst challenge, pin’trst challenge”. You’re welcome…for getting it stuck in your head too. … Read more
Just call me Kevin Costner (circa 1999 when he filmed Message In A Bottle). Except nix the “message” part and replace with “vitamins”. And with that, I give you our “vitamin in a bottle” vitamin organization project result. Shortly after installing the first aid cabinet in our bathroom, which was also going to house Colby’s vitamin … Read more
Hootie hoo, the clouds have parted, the angels are singing and the Pinterest Challenge is back with a vengeance. Challenge accepted. It’s a good day. So our little vitamin storage project has been put on temporary hold (I’ll be back tomorrow to recap it for you) for an announcement from the Pinterest Challenge front. Basically…it’s … Read more
So this happened this weekend. First aid cabinet go boom! Ever since we posted these little pics of the bathroom, after we first painted it a minty green, I knew that I wanted to fill that empty space above the toilet paper holder with a first aid cabinet. So the other day, when I went … Read more
To prove to my daddy that I’m not a fool. Wait…let’s start over…without a Billy Madison quote. Here we go. You know what’s scary? Oooh…oooh…I know that one…sharks! Or the Robertson family on vacation in Hawaii (not gonna lie…I’m currently sucked into the Duck Dynasty marathon that’s on A&E right now). Nope…those things aren’t nearly … Read more
So last night I whipped out my glue gun…and made us a little toothbrush holder for our recently refreshed bathroom (you can check out some of the bathroom posts including painting the bathroom mint, finding an old buffet on Craigslist to turn into a vanity, how we hacked the buffet, and then painted it, and … Read more
