Three Years
This photo was taken three years ago. That’s a long time. It’s enough time, in fact, to develop a whole secret language made up of inside jokes and song parodies. Ryan is my best friend, my most favorite human, and a better husband than I could have ever imagined. He woke me up this morning [...]
DIY Reality Check
We’re heading out in a couple days to Toronto for my brother’s wedding. I have been working on a few projects for the wedding that I will share with you next week. Hopefully the happy couple doesn’t mind me using their day as blog fodder. Honestly, my projects were hit and miss. The ones I [...]
In The Dark
It’s moving day tomorrow and there is lots to do, but I have decided that blogging is much more important. Last night we painted a wall in the office the charcoal color that I mentioned before (top left photo above). I’m eager to see what it looks like in the daylight. The other photos are [...]
A Celebratory Post!
My brother is getting married! Congrats to Jordan & Steph. We’re really looking forward to going to Toronto in April for the wedding. This is such a great excuse for me to peruse the gorgeous wedding blogs. Just look at this gem… Images from Once Wed, shot by Our Labor of Love and designed by [...]
Piper
I would like to introduce you all to my niece, Piper Isabella. She was born yesterday (so as the saying goes, she is probably pretty gullible) and I can’t wait to meet her. You might see a few more baby-sized tutorials here (like this one) in the future because I plan on being the best [...]
In The New York Times!
A huge thanks to Amanda Kwan with the Associated Press for including my Anthro-inspired tables in her article on ‘designer looks for big-box prices’! You can read it on the New York Times site, here and here. Did you wonder what Anthropologie thought of my take on their Curator Table? Well, Amanda asked them (yikes!) [...]
Savoury & Savary
This is all I want to eat for the rest of my life. Or at least the next week. Toasted sourdough, a smidge of Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese, sprouts, a thick slice of heirloom tomato and basil. It must be heirloom tomato. That’s probably the snobbiest thing I have ever said on this blog. [...]
Sandwich Time
During the renovations, we didn’t eat well at all. We frequented A&W (it’s one of the only fast food places here), which is a very sad thing. No one should frequent A&W. Mostly we would grab a bacon and n’ egger (on a wheat bun, with tomato) in the morning. One morning, shortly after we [...]
Spicy
One on the many organizational accomplishments of the weekend is this new magnetic spice rack. I know, the whole magnetic spice tin thing isn’t news by any means. Maybe even a little played out. But it’s still genius. We put them up on the side of our fridge. I wasn’t going to label them because [...]
