Happy Thursday! Erica Reitman, The Design Ninja Extraordinaire, is stopping over today to talk about how to start a collection. I don't know about you, but I've got a ton...trophies, indigo, navy books, vintage barware...errrrmmmm *cough* chairs...ya let's not go there. But sometimes it all goes in a box, and I never know what to do with[...]
Thankfully things are really starting to come together in the basement. Like, I can see a light at the end of the tunnel, and it isn't fogged up with construction dust. All in all, Gerry and his crew have made the whole process smooth sailing, but I can officially say drywalling is the worst. Word to the wise — the smartest thing we di[...]
Someone call for help because I'm certifiably insane. Yep, you read that right. Potty Paradise looked so incredible we decided to renovate another bathroom in the new house. Eeeeep! But I swear I have a really good excuse for the added destruction. You already know we are in the process of fixing the basement after The Great Flood of 201[...]
It's the most wonderful time of the year, but how the hell are the holidays here already? Knowing full well I'm a procrastinator, and when it comes to holiday decor, well I kinda fail; I signed up for White Buffalo Styling Co.'s BSHT 2016 Christmas Home Tour last August. Plenty of time to prepare and plan...and plan I did...in my he[...]
The other week you got to read the doozy of a story about how The Boy broke the basement. Many of you sent me sweet messages saying, I'm so sorry...oh that darn deductible. How much will that cost to fix? Can it be repaired? Chin up. This is just so awful. How on earth did a sink do this much damage? You guys, these are all the same wo[...]
It's Week 6 of the One Room Challenge which means ding, ding, ding, times up! Words can't even express how excited I am about the bathroom makeover. I mean wow! The transformation is crazy, and I honestly can't believe I live here. It's wacky and crazy and out there and pretty much describes exactly what happens in my brain. Like if you[...]
With all the Cubs hoopla, my Week 5 One Room Challenge post got a bit lost in the shuffle. But don't you worry that pretty little head of yours; we are on schedule and feeling fly y'all. Potty Paradise is almost complete, and Gerry and I are snoopy dancing on the Clé Tiles...okay, Gerry's technically not dancing like this, but I'm all...[...]
Two more weeks until the One Room Challenge final bathroom makeover reveal. This week's post is a DIY of how to turn an antique dresser into a vanity. I'm at that point where I'm so close I can almost taste it. The light is shining bright at the end of the tunnel with only a few minor bumps in the road...backorder sconces and sink, but n[...]
Seriously, how are we halfway through this challenge already? I'm exhausted and not even doing the heavy lifting. My poor contractor is dealing with my, "let's customize everything in the smallest amount of time mind frame"...oh, and hey Gerry, I also need you to fix a basement and yet another bathroom makeover. Can we all take a pause a[...]
