The Nursery

The Nursery

Today the drywall/plaster guys sprayed the girls' room and nursery.  I was so excited to see how it turned out that I made two trips to the house today to see how looked.   The walls and ceilings look so fresh and new…love seeing these rooms transform into something that resembles a living space.   The two rooms

Goodbye, Old Friend.

Goodbye, Old Friend.

 I love old homes.  I love the stories attached to the people that have lived there over the years. This past weekend, we packed up our things and moved from a lovely home filled with memories and stories from the best 6 years of our lives.   We moved into our home six years ago with a one

Bathrooms. (Not for the faint of heart).

This week has been busy.  I am packing up our home as we prepare to move into a 2-bedroom apartment while the renovations continue.  This week is about changing addresses, phone numbers, keeping the kiddos occupied, canceling phone/internet, figuring out how to get phone/internet, and wondering just HOW IN THE WORLD WE WILL SURVIVE IN A 2 BEDROOM

The Kitchen Plot

Let me begin by saying that I am so thankful for Pinterest.  For visual people like me, it's so much easier to explain what I am thinking while using photos as a reference. Our new kitchen will not be large, but I am hoping that all the years of plotting and tearing out magazine pages (in the pre-Pinterest

Cold Feet

Cold Feet

I got cold feet. I received the cabinet door sample recently and it just looked so....white.  I know that I like white, but I didn't know if I was okay with how white it was.  I asked the designer to meet me with other white door swatches at the countertop shop (or whatever those places are called).
