I had so much fun doing Miekka's mood board I thought I would whip up one for our hall bathroom. Now, we haven't even started working on it, but I have some ideas. I really want white subway tiles in the tub/shower area, and numbered hooks and that awesome wash behind your ears print. So let me know what you think...also if anyone else wants to … [Read more...]

June last year, our second visit to the house, when we decided to put an offer in. Overgrown with who knows what...I was afraid to venture out there, so I stayed on the patio. Soon after we bought the house, the bank had the weeds whacked, gangster style. We were LOVING all of those pavers and rocks. hah. Yesterday. The pavers were long gone, … [Read more...]

Tada! Our new couch arrived this morning via the Rory and Chris Express. Yay! It looks perfect! I love it. It's a tad smaller than our old couch, but it gives us more space behind the couch (which, let's face it, is really where we needed it....ha.) Nonetheless...looks good don't it? Where the old couch was banished...I mean moved to. The sun … [Read more...]

We were on the hunt today. For a couch. We took off this morning, Aunt Nae Nae in tow, to San Jose for the great sofa search. Alright, we went to two stores.

We ruled out … [Read more...]

WOW look at all those leaves! Thanks a lot tree! To be fair, it's not that ONE tree. It's the whole row of them back there. They've been dumping their leaves on our "yard" for the past few months. Luckily, our "yard" doesn't really exist yet so no biggie. Next year...the rakes come out with a vengeance. I'm thinking....I'll hire Josh and Julia to … [Read more...]

Baby and I last night...I love this pic, even though Janae cut off the top of my head. haha My little herbies are growin' still! Still can't use them...I'm thinking they're more for greenery than usage. Someday I would like to have an herb garden though! (uhh, please ignore my dirty window) Made pumpkin bread for the neighbors today (and … [Read more...]
