Ben is pretty tolerant of my decorating whimsies. He let me choose the wood flooring in our house. He let me paint the dinette peachy pink. He begrudgingly allowed me to paint his office… twice...
At any given time, I have about 10 items ready to go in shopping carts all over the web. The only thing that stands between me and a neatly organized browser is, of course, money. Sadly I’m not...
As I awoke to the sweet strains of Old McDonald and BINGO!, I realized with a start that today is the first day of Ike’s summer vacation. Moms everywhere know what this means — basically ...
So yesterday I went to the outlets again in search of more mongolian fur pillows, but they were all gone — probably because I broadcast the message of cheap West Elm stuff far and wide, which w...
I have the urge to purge. Ok, and the need to bring the benjamins, because I have to pay for my fancy new table somehow. You know, the table which I have not yet ordered. Sorry to disappoint you guys...
Sorry I couldn’t respond to all your wonderful advice yesterday, but since the doctor stole a gallon of my blood, made me drink a hideous glucose confection, and gave me a shot to which I had s...
Ok guys and gals, I have two major decisions to make today. This would be doable, except that I am a used up, burned, crispy charred piece of toast. This weekend we cleaned, hauled trash, painted, an...
Happy Friday, dudes. I’ll be spending the weekend making sow’s ears into silk purses (I hope). Anyone have any fancy plans I can enjoy vicariously? [pinterest] Related posts:Some Things t...
Did you know there was a clearance rack at the West Elm Outlet? Did you even know there was a West Elm outlet? Well for those of you fortunate enough to live in the suburbs (guffaw), an outlet mall m...
I am possessed by the urge to paint EVERYTHING. Ceilings. Floors. Woodwork. Chairs. Paintings. Kitchen cabinets. Kitchen cabinets. Kitchen cabinets. I’ve visited Benjamin Moore so frequently of...
It’s official. Today marks the third trimester of pregnancy and I have transformed overnight from cute, bouncy pregnant lady into shamu the whale — beached and bleating out sad whale nois...
Thanks for all your comments, advice, and encouragement on yesterday’s pink dinette post. It feels good to have one tiny thing accomplished, but I’m also totally overwhelmed when I consid...
Well, I’m not really sure why I decided to paint the dinette and kitchen peachy pink. Maybe it was this picture: Isn’t that rich and delicious and amazing? I want to steal everything here...
Hi kids! The sun is FINALLY out after a Noah’s Ark deluge, and it looks like I should be able to snap a few pics of the newly painted dinette this afternoon. Be ready for a superpost tomorrow, ...
I’ve been debating whether or not I should post a pic of the painted kitchen because it’s storming and dark as pitch in here, and there is no way on earth I can get an accurate image of t...
Ahhhh, Monday — it’s like a vacation from the weekend. Seriously, I am burnt. Toasted. Saturday we frantically ran errands and car shopped all day (not fun). Sunday we painted until I tho...
I’ve been seeing a lot of painted ceilings lately: Ooohhhh ahhhh, pretty! But I tell you dudes what: I would think long and hard before I did something like this. We just painted a ton of ceili...
Have I mentioned lately that a tiny person is coming to live with us in a few months? Don’t you think it’s the weirdest thing EVER that two people have sexy time and then suddenly there&#...
Hello fine friends, thank you so much for all of your comments (and mockups!!!) on my lighting score and dinette drama post. There was kind of a lot of feedback to process there… so I got overw...
Sorry for the radio silence yesterday, but I have been alternating between hustling and hibernating for the past 48 hours. Anyhow, part of the hustle was this fancy Sciolari fixture I won on ebay for...
I’m taking a break from my own decor drama to give a shout out to my bud Naomi of Design Manifest, who has a splendiferous article about Mona Ross Berman in the latest issue of Trad Home. The b...
Yesterday was pretty demoralizing. I think I’m at the point in decorating and renovating where the easy stuff is done and shit is about to get hard. Matt came over to knock out the ugly built i...
Hey dudes, how was your weekend? Ben and I busted our collective ass painting and cleaning and moving and it still looks an 82 year old grandma with 23 cats and alzheimers lives here. It’s kind...
It’s getting nervous up in here. I love to make decisions for other people, but when it comes to myself I will waffle endlessly if given the chance. So, on one hand it’s probably a good t...
So yesterday I revealed yet another thorn in my side, the dopey dinette area. It’s really wee and oddly shaped and it sports hideous tile and the light fixture makes me want to vomit khaki gree...
Hi, how was your weekend? Mine was one of those bust-your-ass-but-accomplish-v ery-little affairs. At least, that’s how me and my sore tailbone are feeling this morning (wtf, pregnant ladies?! w...
It’s takes a lot to wow me on a morning when I’m coughing up a lung and still haven’t had any coffee, even though it’s almost 9am. Still, it can be done. But let us not mince ...
Thanks again for indulging all my hemming and hawing about the office. I think I’ve fully vetted the possibilities and have a pretty good idea of what to do for Plan A and Plan B. I’ve al...
I’m a jacked up nightmare of snot, plus Ike is home for the “holiday” today (seriously?! Jesus is already risen — back to work, teachers!) so I’m not sure how witty and ...
So I really really need to whip the office into shape. Ben is planning to move his stuff ‘n’ things downstairs to make room for new baby plus old baby plus a guest room upstairs, but we&#...
