I wanted to post this the week before our smallest family member was born, but between working full-time and being extremely pregnant, that fell through the cracks pretty spectacularly. The fun thing about posting now is that I can show you Tuck’s room after it has been initiated. The walls have been peed on more than once, and the…

Back Room Blues (Good Blues)
A little while back (and for a while, really), I was debating room color choices for our second to last major space in need of paint. Whew. There has been a lot of painting in our house in the last year and a half. Where did we start? We started with stained peach walls. Very…
Red Tile Love
I tend to gravitate towards calm colors when decorating (or dressing)–blues, greens, browns, neutrals. But lately, I’ve been trying to add some red and yellow and orange back into the mix.

Painting on a Whim
So our main guest bathroom has been sitting untouched for a while. Meaning that there were tons of extra nail holes in the wall, not to mention various stains and smudges and general yuck. I decided I needed to change that this weekend, and I wanted to change it immediately (and for free). Enter the…
Happy Couch + Window (+Peanut) Reunion
Well, we’re slowly but surely getting a grasp on “normal life” after vacation life. I think I like jet lag a lot less at 30 than I did at 21. But you know who’s really really happy? Peanut. He was treated like a king while we were gone, so he wasn’t exactly sad for the…
Small, but valuable.
