Everywhere you look in our house these days, there are tiny colorful felt balls. On the sofa, on the floor, in the muffin tins, in the fridge. Happy little wool balls everywhere. I bought...
I have started buying art supplies lately, even though its still a bit too soon. (Adelaide eats the tips off the Crayolas like theyre breadsticks...). I am so excited for this part of chi...
Did you see this article about the family that lives in the pyramid on top of the Smith Tower in Seattle? Its amazing! What a fun place to grow up.
Lest you think Ive gone completely Momblog on you, let me assure you that we are, indeed, still working on making the Schmich Schack ship shape. For instance, we are finally tackling the other f...
Making her first pot of tea, standing on a chair, and helping bake... so many firsts on one day! This stage of toddlerhood between baby and tantrum-thrower (dont get me wrong, she knows how) is...
Are you kidding me? What kind of self-important tool buys these for their baby? What, were they all out of "eat local" shoes? Gah.
Adelaide was a panda. A grumpy panda. Though I would most likely have been grumpy if someone smeared eyeliner all over my face, too. (She loved the fake fur, though!) But then. Then we st...
Weve been heading out for "hikes" on Saturday mornings. Sure, with a little kiddo in tow, its not really hiking hiking, but "hike" sounds cooler than "nature walk." We l...
Ive been organizing some files and found this photo. Its from Sunset magazine from... 2007, I think? Its still a great little corner, in kitchen full of simple colors and textures.
Dear, dear friends of ours welcomed a new addition to their family of three this weekend. Her name is Lucy, and shes one lucky little lady. In her honor, I thought Id share a favorite litt...
Ive been scouring Craigslist lately for a simple little table and chairs set for Adelaide. Just a little spot where she can have a snack or scribble on something. While waiting for the st...
We made playdough! There are scads of recipes on the internet, but I used these instructions, found via a tip from Auntie Leila. I halved the recipe and still had plenty for a rainbow of seven ...
I was drooling over the Farrow & Ball website recently - they have a new book out and Ive heard its beautiful. Gah, such a lovely selection of colors. Is there another word for it? Lovely. I coul...
Have you heard of Jen Bekmans 20x200 project? There are some brilliant things going on over there these days. I just bought the current print by artist Jenny Odell, 195 Yachts, Cargo Ships...
We finally put numbers on our house! Theyre the mission numbers from Rejuvenation. It wasnt so hard with a hammer drill, but we still snapped a few drillbits in the process. &...
Way back before we became parents, Ben and I had a conversation about phone use in our future household. We were both remembering how when we were in middle school, when you called a friend on ...

"happiness seems so very simple. and yet, simple seems so very different than easy."--- from Public::Bookstore
So it turns out that the only thing harder than completing house projects while caring for a baby is blogging about whatever project you might have finished...Thats if (and its a big one) you actuall...
Hello!Yes, we're still here.Yes, I had a baby!And boy is she a beaut !!!This is Adelaide, and she's one of the finest little humans I've ever had the honor to know. She was born on August 21st. She's...
Today is officially our due date, so I thought I'd share some photos of the baby's room. It was the guest room that we so lovingly finished in November.Now all we need is a little kiddo. C'mon, kiddo...
I suppose part of living in an old house is having a dank basement. Ours certainly is. It doesn't help that it's leaky and the walls need to be patched and painted and it constantly fills up with jun...
Oh my. The "Before" bathroom photo in this Design*Sponge post looks an awful lot like our "Afters." Isn't that funny? I mean, I do prefer our Afters to the ones in that post - a modern bathroom is ju...
Sigh. Isn't it pretty? I am completely in love with our new bathroom. This room has always been full of fun old house potential, but so mucked up and full of gross that things were pretty discouragin...
The bathroom is almost done, and it looks so so so so good.
Posting about the "final" guest room made me realize that I never posted the After shots of the second-to-the-last guest room we fixed up. Known previously as "The Checkered Room" or "The Room Full o...
I have been thinking of Aqua lately because of my recent last-minute makeover of our last guest room. Before my sister and a friend stayed with us to attend a wedding a few weeks ago, I got it into m...
I lost track of where these came from, but it's a good bet that they're pulled from Desire to Inspire.
Spring keeps trying to break through, despite the unacceptably gross weather. I've not quite got my blogging mojo back, so in the meantime, check out THIS post full of pretty pictures from Design*Spo...
Last year's from-scratch seed starting venture was relatively successful and a lot of fun, so this year we decided to get a little more official. I had in mind a setup something like this one, but st...
