Now *that* was a vacation. Girlfriends. Sun. Fruity drinks. Gossip magazines. A swim up bar. Infinity pools. Guacamole. 8 bottles of sunscreen. Re-entry is going about as well as can be expected. Our...
I admit, AT TIMES, I am somewhat prone to exaggeration. But not this time. All I’m saying is, this post will change your life. Summer Beer. “But I don’t like beer.” You will l...
Ever since we moved into this house, Taylor and I have been talking about how great a deck would be. So over these past couple years we’ve been saving our pennies and we’re getting closer...
Can you spot the difference between these two pictures? Look a little closer. Yeah, yeah, the plant’s different. That’s not what I’m talking about. I painted the picture frame! I ad...
I’m not sure if it’s the weather or what, but all of a sudden I’m itching to redecorating something and use lots of green. {crate & barrel} {remodelista} {kate spade’s bat...
One of the hardest decisions when it comes to decorating is choosing paint colors. We’ve had pretty good luck around here, with only 1 room that I’d consider a bust. It’s tough to p...
Hi guys. Since my posts this week have all been somewhat plant-focused, I figure why not round it out with a garden-related Friday Five? Here are some places I would not be opposed to plopping down t...
We have a big yard with lots of flowering bushes and trees that some nice lady with a green thumb planted years ago. I never used to hesitate picking up some grocery store flowers, but now I head out...
This post wasn’t intended to be a Beastie Boys tribute, but I listened to License to Ill while going through bills yesterday and it brought back lots of good college memories. I can almost smel...
It seems like every month there’s another holiday sponsored by beer companies. You know what, I’ll take it! And in honor of Cinco de Mayo, I thought I’d throw together a little Mexi...
My last sewing class was last night. And holy cow! It’s a pillow, bitches! And not just a lame, sew two pieces of fabric together pillow—although that would have been a pretty amazing fea...
I *finally* ordered some wedding photos which caused a little picture frame shopping spree at Homegoods. My favorite one is this quatrefoil frame. We’ve used this shape in other places in our h...
Today I’m happy to have Julie Spano over for a little guest blogging. Julie writes the hilarious and helpful Etsy Stalkers, which usually involves some combination of neglectful parenting, cock...
For Valentine’s Day Taylor got me this tasty breakfast print from Society 6. I’m the short order cook on the weekends. I have my preferred brand of bacon. Even our coffee cups look like t...
“A wedding used to be a simple affair. Boy meets girl. They fall in love. He buys a ring. She buys a dress. They say ‘I do.’ No. That’s getting married. A wedding is an entire...
Yesterday we covered decorating our wedding space from the air (with pompoms!) and from the seats (table decor). Today, we tackle more fun stuff. First, my favorite part of any wedding: the cake! We ...
Oh, wedding stuff. Taylor and I spent a lot of time crafting these small details as a way to a) save some money and b) give our wedding a little personality. Since our engagement only lasted about 5 ...
The perk of being engaged to an Art Director is that he can design all our wonderful invitations! The downside of being engaged to an Art Director is that he actually has opinions about what they sho...
Today is our anniversary! Yep, one year as a Mr. and Mrs. I realized that I’d never really shared any wedding photos on the blog, so to make up for that you’re getting an entire week of t...
Have you heard of Teux Deux?* It’s an extremely simple web-based calendar. I’ve been using it for a couple months after hearing about it at Alt and absolutely love it! Basically, you type...
I have been forgetting to update you guys on the posts I write for Curbly. So, today you get them all at once! Top Row: How to make a coffee table out of an old door 12 DIY Jewelry Organizers. (I swe...
No lie, the VERY FIRST things I bought for our house on the inaugural trip to The Home Depot were….drumroll please…pull chains for the closet lights. Totally like the most important thing...
My friend and painting idol, Kristen Davis, invited me to a focus group about the new paint line, MyColor Inspired by Pantone. (Yes, kind of a mouthful.) This was the first time I’ve been on th...
Spring has exploded all over Atlanta. It is gorgeous, don’t get me wrong. The azaleas in my neighborhood are so freaking big, they’re like hibiscus. Look at me talking like I understand g...
Part of why our basement looked like this before our massive weekend cleaning session… …is because we had a pretty large collection of stuff we just hadn’t gotten around to getting ...
If you come here to see pretty pictures, I’m sorry. I have none of those today. What I do have is 2 days worth of work that ain’t glamorous, but had to be done. I may have mentioned my li...
Oy. OY! (Remember that scene in Bridget Jones’ Diary? It’s been going through my head a lot lately.) Because that? Is his name. Can you tell it’s been a long week? I came home last ...
St. Patty’s Day is coming up! If green beer isn’t your style, maybe this dining room moodboard is. green gray dining room / loveseat / chairs / rug china / napkins / painting / leaves / ...
Since the day we moved in, we have had a dining room chandelier on our list. It wasn’t the kind of item I was in a mad rush for. Don’t get me wrong, the one we had was terrible for our di...
