Chris’s To-Do List- July 9th, 2009:
1- Do paperwork at work for 30 minutes- spend the remaining 11 hrs and 30 minutes staring at the wall, driving around town giving stuff to businesses and playing dominoes.
2- Get yelled at because a guy can’t figure out how to save a new contact on his phone.
3- Have lady come change the air freshener because our store smells like a mix between Bajio and a moldy washcloth.
4- Browse Craigslist. Giggle at the funny personal ads.
5- Go with Jules to the doctor. See the first ultrasound of our little baby. :D
6- Return to work. Walk in and feel like I’ve been punched in the face because the air freshener is so strong. Happens every month.
7- Stare out the front window after 2 hours of having no customers.
8- Play a round of lemonade world against Bryce. Lose miserably.
9- Have lunch with Camp-Sauce. Talk about the past and future. Maybe a little of the present.
10- Read a chapter of “Good to Great” by Jim Collins. An exceptional book thus far.
11- Sit down to do my homework. Browse Facebook for an hour instead.
12- Make some dinner and kick it with my wife. She’ll fall asleep on my shoulder while we watch Food Network.
13- Wake Jules up so she can go to bed. Lay down only to remember I still have an hour’s worth of homework to do.
14- Go to sleep instead and wake up early to do my homework and start all over again.
Two weeks from today, I graduate and have to find a new routine. To be honest, I’m looking forward to a new adventure. As long as I can still watch Food Network with my wife. :)
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

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 […]
