I think I may turn Things That Make Me Happy into a monthly post. Simple, extravagant, small or large it can be anything. It just feels good to enjoy the moment and try to find a little happiness in ...
By no means would I consider myself a good baker. But I love to play like I am, and thanks to a book Ive been using for the past 6 months I think I am actually, dare I say it, half decent! I wa...
Wren has these pink/purple glasses that make me laugh every time she puts them on. Partially because she looks so cute and partially because they always seem to end up crooked. I love that even when ...
I am excited to share a slowly evolving project today! I did a little revamp on the laundry room over the last month and a half after some cool things sort of fell into my lap. As usual, budget was k...
I am new to the world of Instagram, but am thoroughly addicted. Check out my new feed at inthefunlane for a daily glimpse of me just living life, in the fun lane of course!
Hey Guys, doing a mini clean out today. Since switching over to all wood hangers Ive lost a lot of hanging space so I have to stay on top of editing out rarely worn items as new things come in. Hopef...
The weeks seems to be breezing past me. Its weird how some days seem so long, yet the year is just flying by. I set out to have Lexington all done the first week of June, and my team assure me its go...
Yesterday our day started pretty early, as usual, but I had a lot of work and errands to do so Wren spent the morning with my Mom instead of being toted around with me (which saves me what seems to b...
Wren has been LOVING the warm weather that signals the coming Summer. She is at the age where cool sprinkler water is interesting and even enjoyable. And it sure makes clean up easy for Mom af...
I am not sure what exactly draws me to them so strongly, but I have had a love affair going with wine barrel chandeliers for some time now. Ironic, since I dont drink... They are just the perfect amo...
I am not sure if it a long weekend in the US as well, but us Canadians are enjoying a super fantastic holiday weekend. What am I doing to celebrate? Scraping old paint off bannisters at Lexington. Go...
You ready to take a little drive over to Lexington? I have been hard at work there and still have paint under all my nails after working on painting the staircases (all 4 of them!) so we can get the ...
I have tunnel vision today guys. I spent a good portion of the afternoon finally getting our About Us page up and running... anddddd a majority of the time spent was going back through my archives, u...
No, not on the walls (I still love our silver paisley wall paper, which might be a record for the oldest thing in our bedroom!), but on a few furniture items. Mainly this dresser and a mirror. I stil...
Truer words have never been spoken. "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go" -Oscar Wilde I saw this candle at Urban Barn about a week ago with a girlfriend and...
My Mom wanted to do some succulent planters of her own so we had a little afternoon crafting session this week. Not to be one left on the side line, I picked up some faux orchids this past weekend wh...
YAY! I finally got Youtube to cooperate (I am really, truly computer challenged guys). I thought I would save myself some typing but actually caused a lot of extra work and heartache in the end so I ...
Sean got our router back up and working! Lets slow golf clap for him everyone. While my laptop might have been well rested over the past week my camera has been getting quite a work out. And my video...
Hey guys! So the Internet is down at our little abode and my only access to the Internet is my phone, which equals blog posts with no pictures... I am hoping it will be up again in the next day or so...
Wow, it is hard to believe my guys have only been working on Lexington since last Wednesday! We shaved a few days off our time frame since they finished the demo 3 days early. This was the progress a...
Yesterday Wren and I had to head over to Ikea for some Lexington related supplies (the kitchen cabinets are all Ikea) and I picked up an extra Euro sham to get the outstanding items finished in our b...
I have always been a blue girl. Of all colors, blue seems to always be the one I am most drawn to, however it is usually in shades of faded, beach blues, robins egg blue and other fairly happy shades...
I dont know if it is the crisp Spring air, but something has sent me into a bit of a preppy mentality lately. Not in the clothing department so much as in the home decor department. I dont even know ...
Not mad as in angry but used more in the insane context. When we were on our month long sojourn I made it my mission to load up on as many items for staging Lexington as humanly possible. We drove do...
I was in Restoration Hardware just last week when I spied these glorious succulent urns. I loved them, was ready to take one home...The only problem is that they ranged from $180-$250. Holy plants ba...
I am SOOOOOO excited to be sharing this adventure with you guys FINALLY! I have hinted at my plans to do something big since before christmas, but didnt want to bore you with all the pre-purchase det...
HELLO Dear readers and friends! I owe you an overdue apology for the last few weeks that have been awfully blank here in blog land. I am not one for feeling like I need to apologize for not blogging,...
We have had an extremely amazing winter way up here in cold North. By last week I had started bringing out some of my spring clothes, eager for the days of dresses and light weight sweaters. Sometime...
When it rains it pours at our house! Our little Mungkee is on the mend, despite the set back of developing a tumor in one of his front paws. It must be uncomfortable for him because he has a distinct...
One remnant from our old kitchen was really a thorn in my side for the last few months; this dirty old lamp. The problem was that I really didnt see anything I thought a) suited the kitchen, and b) m...
