November 25, 2011 5 Comments

Anyone awake yet? Suffering from a turkey coma? I survived a very early and very quick Black Friday shopping spree. I only hit up Target for gifts for the kids and then did a quick run through at Michaels for some supplies. I think I made out pretty well for short trip. At the time I went, the stores were calmer than an regular Saturday morning. Success!Now that I slept in a bit more and had some coffee we are heading out to get one of these:ViaIt is time to start decorating and I'm so … [Read more...]

tiling fun – subway tile backsplash time

November 23, 2011 4 Comments

We never had any intention to install our own backsplash. Actually, I should rephrase that....Ray never had any intention of letting me install the backsplash. I wanted to try it after watching too much HGTV and DIY network. Our walls are not exactly straight and since we decided on white subway tile for our backsplash, he convinced me to leave this to the experts. So we have been living with plain white walls since April when we did our initial reveal of the kitchen.

a pirate’s life for me

October 3, 2011 8 Comments

We have a pirate bathroom. I know you are jealous and have always wanted pirate ship wallpaper. Admit it. Paired with pink and grey tile, a prehistoric vanity and built-in wall heater, it is definitely a stylish space.We have a pirate kitty too so it was a good excuse for the 9 months we lived with this bathroom. Annie needed to feel the new house was safe for her pirate kitty ways.Yes, she really only has one eye.Annie is settled so I thought it would be a good idea to tackle finally removing … [Read more...]

the truth about the to do list

September 26, 2011 10 Comments

So I have a Monday confession. I want to talk about that list. You know, the one of all the projects you say you are going to do and never get to... Not the big ones you can't tackle because of real time constraints or money.The little annoying ones. The ones you could do if you just stopped playing on Pinterest, Facebook or your Google Reader. Or if you stopped making up excuses for why it isn't the right moment. Or if the hubby stopped watching golf (insert - football, baseball, soccer, etc). … [Read more...]
