Happy Labor Day Weekend!

September 4, 2015

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. 

Even when you don’t want to rip down a wall, you can make that space in your home better. Right now.

Hey e’rbody! Jules and I are busy busy over here, trying to keep this kitchen moving along. I wanted to share a food post today but between work, spending time with the girls and working on the kitchen every night from the time the girls go to bed until Jules and I are on the verge of collapse, it just didn’t happen. But Labor Day is a huge grilling weekend, so I didn’t want it to go by without offering some sort of contribution to your festivities, and I’d like to do that in the form of a discount on my eCookbooks.

Use the code LABORDAY2015 during checkout when purchasing the bundle and you’ll get all 3 books for only $10 ($5 off)!  Here’s just a few things the books will teach you to make:

Tacos Al Pastor (marinated, grilled spicy pork)

taco-book-8

Grilled, BBQ Chicken Wings

wing-book-10

 The Dirty Burger (an item of my own design, and straight up the best burger I’ve ever had)

burgers-book-12

Each of the books focuses in on techniques and helping you be a more versatile cook, but I also include plenty of recipes to help get you started. So if you’re planning a BBQ on Monday, or anytime this weekend, you can now get all 3 of my books for only $10 (buy the bundle and use code LABORDAY2015 – code expires end of the day on Monday).

This weekend Jules and I will be finishing the backsplash, hanging our open shelves, sealing the countertops (with a little help from my main dude, Preston), and doing all of the finish work (window/door trim, toe kicks, cabinet fillers etc), so stay tuned because next week is gonna be INSANE! You’re gonna see some major progress.

Peace out, Internet friends and have a great weekend!

    Is it still possible to purchase the ebooks?

    I can’t wait to see your progress and to see what your open shelving looks like!

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 […]
