Or more like prime, paint repeat. It feels like the hundredth time that I’ve painted the living room, even though in reality it was only the second time. But I have amassed a whopping six coats of paint in the room. After stripping all the wallpaper and patching the plaster walls during our first month … Read more
In our post wedding blissdom, we’ve had some serious time to kick back and relax. It’s been strange to come home and not have to do anything. No wedding crafts, no DJ meetings, no nothing. It’s been relaxation maximation here at the roost and we’ve been 100% enjoying it. And since we’ve spent the last … Read more
It’s official…I can check another item off my 30 Before 30 list. Well…technically two because I also got married. But I’m not officially officially checking it off until I have a bunch more pics to share with you all and a big recap of our big day. But anyway…item number two to get checked off … Read more
It’s official, we’ve gone off the deep end, diving head first into crazy town. We’ve adopted a llama. It’s not what you think, I swear, it’s just the pet name (haha…bad pun police…bad pun police) we have for these chimney fire pits. And ever since we brought the llama home I can’t stop singing the … Read more
I’m not ready to give up Wedding Wednesday just yet. I know I’m technically hitched but I still have projects to detail, insights to divulge upon, and shenanigans to share. Can you blame me for not wanting to give it up? A year of Wedding Wednesday posts just isn’t enough! Besides, I have a few … Read more
Just before wedding craziness hit the fan, Colby and I went on a little weekend expedition in search of the perfect buffet table for the kitchen. We had seen a recent influx of wedding gifts, primarily serving dishes since we had zero point zero serving dishes and were about to serve dinner for 60 at … Read more
While we’re getting back onto the DIY train and working on a few projects (and picking up our uber messy, post wedding, mess of a house), I thought I would share a little veggie tale. And not that veggie tale…this one is about corn. More specifically the corn in our garden and how it keeps … Read more
Whew! The whirlwind that has been these last few weeks before our wedding has finally come to a close! It’s official…we’re married! I just wanted to stop in and tell you that A) we’re alive and B) we went through with it (no fleeing the alter for either of us) and we’re officially married! Woohoo! … Read more
While crafting away this weekend, getting ready for our upcoming nuptials, I had a Bill Engvall moment. For those unfamiliar with the comedian here’s a little snippet for a little comedic relief this evening. We spent a few hours this weekend crafting some wedding related signs and the whole time I had “here’s your sign” … Read more
This weekend has been nuts…certifiably nuts. It was our last free weekend before the wedding week festivities kick off and we had ALOT to get done. Most every major task has already been taken care of (minus the final DJ meeting but that’s scheduled for Monday after work) so now it’s down to the little … Read more
And welcome back for the first official post of Angie & Colby’s Wedding Week! Booyah! And for today’s post, we’re bringing back the lovely and talented Momma Bear who recently crafted the ring bearer pillow. This time around, she’s crafted up a trio of garter options. I asked her to help make me a garter … Read more
This Wedding Wednesday, I am very proud to announce Wedding Week. With just over a week to go until our big day I thought we would nix the house projects temporarily and focus on all things Angie & Colby’s big day. Mostly because all I seem to stress think about these days is my wedding … Read more
This is one of those small tweaks that we performed a few weeks ago but with all the hoopla going on in the master bedroom remodel, it kind of took the back burner. It was a quick and easy organizational task that took all of two seconds…remote storage. We took our remote storage situation from … Read more
Greetings blog reader-lings. We left off last week by barely moving into our master bedroom. And just in time for some Vermont folk to come a visiting. But when we last left off (read about the move-in here) the closet area was looking a bit like this: As in 100% not pretty. Today, after a … Read more
Now that I’ve recovered from celebrating my 29th birthday…who am I kidding…it was a mild, nice night out with Colby, it’s time for a 30 Before 30 post. It’s about time I tackled something off the list. At the pace I’m going I’ll only have about five things crossed off the list on my 30th … Read more
So for today’s Wedding Wednesday post, as the title implies, we’re gonna talk undies. Or maybe a more appropriate title should have been “Making My Momma Proud” since I’m revealing my underoos on the blogosphere. I told you…my mom is so proud right now of her daughter. Yes…I DIY-ed myself some panties for our wedding. … Read more
