• BUNNY BOOKS

    Mya and I love going to storytime at the library or a local toy store every week. Sometimes she gets overwhelmed by the library class sizes, so the toy store has been a good…

  • BASEMENT BUILDOUT : THE PLAN

    Teaming up for a home construction project probably isn’t the way most couples envision celebrating an anniversary together, but we have never been too concerned about doing things the conventional way. Life is pretty…

  • “TAG ME”

    Today marks five years for us as a husband and wife team (8 years as an item). I can’t believe how lucky I am to have met the man they call…

  • DESIGN TREND: BRASS ACCENTS

    Metallics have been on trend for awhile. When given options, I was leaning toward silvers and golds. But it seems like I’ve been overlooking an equally as rich tone: BRASS! It has such depth and rustic feel.…

  • PAINT SWATCH ART

    Before all the paint companies come after me for hoarding their swatches, let me just say this is an accumulation of supplies over at least 5 years. Why do I have so…

  • PERLER BEAD BOWLS

    I love art glass. My favorite artists are Lino Tagliapietra and Steven Main… and Mya, of course. But since she’s not getting near a 2000 degree kiln anytime soon, we went a safer, way less…

  • GLOW JAR

  • CREATE ART FROM PHONE PHOTOS

    After living in our home for almost four years, I’m finally getting our master bedroom put together. It’s not complete (not that I ever will think it will be!), but one…

  • HEART DAY HIGHLIGHTS

    Everyone familiar with the movie “Tangled” (ie Rapunzel)? Ok, good. Well, when Mya woke up to her “heart attack” on Valentines’ Day, she claimed the “mean lady” came into her room…

  • LITTLE LOVE BOOKS

    I can’t say I’m much of a reader otherwise, but I love kid books. Bonus points go to rhyming and beautiful illustrations. Here are some of my favorite lovey dovey books to…

  • SALAD SPINNER PAINTINGS

    Am I the only one that wants it to snow a boatload? I just want to get out and play in some snow! But I digress… “Salad spinner paintings” are exactly what you think. We…

  • BODACIOUS BASKETS

    You know you’re old when you google “storage bins” and get excited by the results. I love me some sexy storage baskets, but I have some pretty specific requirements: they have…
