We believe we should all love where we live.

We’re a couple of homebodies, working to uncover the home our home wants to be. And we’re so happy to have you here.

Befores, afters, mood boards, plans, failures, wins. We’ve done a lot of projects, and they’re all here. 

We have a long-standing relationship with DIY, and love rolling our sleeves up and making it happen.

Once, when I was about 13 years old, I called into a radio station to see who sang a song I had heard.   The guy immediately congratulated me for being caller number 10, told me that my Samantha Mumba cd and a t-shirt was in the mail and hung up just as quickly.  It was the first and ONLY time I had won anything.  I have held onto that–even if I didn’t know who Samantha Mumba was. 
Now, there is no mistake.  We have won something huge.  RC Willey rewarded us a $1500 gift card for being inspired by our dining room set–and then for 342 of our friends voting for us and our inspiration entry.  We are still in shock.  

They told us that they wanted a picture of us to put on their website.  No picture would be complete without Greta trying to eat something, so we thought it appropriate she, at least, be eating the gift card.  We call it, “the MONEY shot!”

Now the original plan was to get a washer and dryer, however, plans have changed.  For good reason.  Have you seen our new kitchen sans appliances? Literally, not a one.  No worries, we did a little shopping today.

Thanks to RC Willey’s awesome Labor day sales, our $1500 gift card and a rebate–all 4 appliances cost us $900.  Have we thanked you yet?

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
