In our kitchen and our bathroom, there are windows that definitely need something to help block the glare of the sun at certain times of day. But those are two rooms where I really hate to use a traditional curtain. They just attract moisture and mold in the bathroom and grease in the kitchen. So …
Hello all! It’s been a while since we posted any renovation-related updates, and I owe you guys a whole bunch of them. The rest of our upstairs is close to finished, I posted a teaser of some kitchen updates that we had to race to finish before hosting Christmas brunch, and we have been installing …
Hello everyone! It’s been way too long since our last post. Between the holiday craziness, finishing the final steps of our kitchen renovation before Christmas brunch (don’t worry, post and pics to come), and Reliant having major surgery on both of his back knees yesterday, it’s been a little hectic. Today I’m just going to …
I know everyone has looked at the leftover turkey carcass on Thanksgiving and been annoyed at how much food is still leftover, but somehow difficult to access. There’s meat on those bones but in such small quantities that it just seems like too much work to deal with. If you don’t want to waste that …
So it’s been a really really REALLY long time coming, but the upstairs bathroom is finally finished and I am so excited to share it with you guys! If you’ll remember, we essentially stripped the entire 500ish square feet of our upstairs bare to the studs and added this second bathroom from scratch. You can …
One of my favorite recipes of all time is my grandma’s beef stew (no, I am not implying she’s a witch). Even as picky little kids, my sisters, cousins, and I all loved this meal (just implying that this stew is magical). A few years ago I practically begged my grandma to teach me how …
I made this recipe the other day for dinner with Seth’s cousin and her husband, and I have had enough people ask for a bite (and the recipe) while eating leftovers at work that I figured I should just write a quick post about it and share it with the world. It’s adapted from a …
As someone who usually thinks of an ugly floral in grandma’s kitchen when I think of wallpaper, you’d pretty much never hear me advocate for its use in your house. As someone who has helped remove wallpaper on several occasions, I certainly wouldn’t recommend it if I ever thought I’d have to take it down. …
Guys, I have the hardest time with bathroom vanities. When I started planning our renovation, it was seriously the bane of my existence. Obviously we aren’t made of money at this stage of life (what’s up student debt?) so we couldn’t afford to spend an obnoxious amount of money on a vanity, but the average …
Today I’m going to talk about “in a pinch” window treatments that work. This post is pretty short because these are pretty easy. Sometimes you have a window or two that needs dressing up without needing a full-blown window treatment. It may be a frosted window in your bathroom. It may be a window that …
