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 [...]
We got a new toy at work that I have been dying to try out. The infra-red camera lets you see and take pictures of heat. About a week and a half ago we had a real cold snap outside so I took it as an opportunity to borrow it and try it out. Here’s [...]
In honor of Thanksgiving being this week, here’s a creative way to cook your turkey:
Okay, so I really wanted to talk about light bulbs.
I am a firm believer in doing things that are “green.” However, I am also a believer that those things should save me some green as well. As astute [...]
When we were house shopping, commute time to my work was a very important part of the decision. We were quite adamant about it and had even picked out a neighborhood. Nevertheless, our real estate agent found it difficult to believe. We were shown several houses that were “only 15 minutes farther away” and supposedly [...]
The weather here is feeling so fall-like which makes daily life at our house so much more pleasant. Add to that the fact that my cold is ebbing and I’m safely into my 2nd trimester and suddenly I feel like doing things again. It’s a wonderful feeling and likely means more blog posts than you’ve [...]
Last week we were lucky to have a visit from my parents and my brothers. Unfortunately for them, it wasn’t much of a vacation because we had a long list of projects for them to help us with. Still, we managed to squeeze in some fun celebrating my Dad’s birthday (Happy 50th!) and showing them [...]
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. (I always feel a little weird taking pictures of all my worldly possessions and posting them. It basically feels like I’m saying, [...]
When we were in DC we had cable and I was slightly addicted to HGTV. This year HGTV was having a sweepstakes for a green house in Stapleton, CO (a do-able commute to Noel’s job). The house was both green and gorgeous and Noel and I religiously entered the sweepstakes twice daily up until the [...]
We’ve got a long list of things we want to do with some of our rooms, so I think I’m going to take you on a tour room by room as things get done. Generally our bedroom is the last thing we seem to focus on, but this time it was the first.
