We recently had our master bathroom professionally remodeled, which was amazing. Really amazing. When someone says the demo in your bathroom was the worst they’ve seen in 15+ years of construction, you say, “Thanks for being here!” and count your lucky stars you weren’t doing the demo yourself. Someday soon, when I master the use of a…

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…
Wall Color: Random Room Edition

Merry Mid-January
We’re very nearly into the double digits in January, and I’m working my way into the month with our Christmas tree proudly standing in the front window. I kind of like it. It is the prettiest Christmas tree of my adult life, and it’s definitely cheery. Why not leave it up for cool winter nights?…
