Over the weekend we did the final touches on the little girl’s room. I wanted it to be simple, but feminine and am quite pleased with the final product. The best part was the minimal amount of cash we put into it.
This is looking in the doorway. On the wall we have [...]
Back in July I was taking you guys on a tour of our lovely home and left off with a promise that the basement was up next. I’m sure many of you were continuously disappointed as you checked our blog week after week and we never made a second mention of it. Don’t worry, I [...]
Despite what previous posts may have led you to believe about my Christmas spirit, I really do enjoy getting into the season in fun ways. This past week has done a great job of getting us psyched up for the month. We’re hosting Christmas this year so we [...]
Today I bring you the rest of the main floor. Let’s start with the front room.
We have big plans for how to lighten this room up and add color, but that will come (as many other things) with time. The plants are orchids that I have my fingers crossed will bloom again and [...]
We worked hard over the weekend and almost everything has a place now. Hopefully in the next couple of days I’ll be able to wrap this tour up and blog about something else.

1. This was one of my favorite books as a child. My dad read it with such enthusiasm.
2. The movie is okay. Definitely a lot of extrapolation.
3. When I was pregnant I really wanted to make a sign for Cooper’s bedroom that said, “Let the Wild Rumpus Begin!” but some people told me [...]
Our Guest Room/Office/Gym/Sewing Room is now complete. We opted for a luxurious, and I really do mean luxurious, queen sized futon (a brand new 8 inch loft microfiber covered mattress with a steal of a deal, craigslist find frame). Don’t be deceived by the fact that it’s a futon, one of the mattress reviewers said [...]
Our house is finally ready for the long awaited grand tour. (Getting it to this state has been at least long awaited by me.) Come on in and let me show you around.
If you need to take your shoes off, please feel free to sit on our antique church pew (my 16th birthday gift; [...]
