Building Life Together One DIY at a Time
This is a quick one here that I meant to share weeeeeeks ago. Yup, it's a super easy YHL Book project for you. Buy the good stuff. At least once. Then refill if you want but keep the pretty bottles. At Christmastime, Target sold these cute gift packages of Caldera hand soap and lotion. They… Continue reading Buy the Good Stuff
So it should come as no surprise that I really dig Ampersands. I mean, I have an entire pinterest board for them. There's one in our blog header above (though you can't use an & in a URL. Bummer.) and I seem to be drawn to them every time I end up in HomeGoods. So… Continue reading AND some Decor
Raise your hand if you're a Target fan. Yes, a room full of people who appear to want to high-five me. Excellent. Then you'll know how this goes. So, I found myself running in to my local Target for a 'rare' (so, only my 3rd stop that week) trip to peruse the latest decor and… Continue reading A Pillar of Inspiration from Target
So you know how it goes. You're scrollin' on down....down down down.... through your pinterest searches and then WHAM you get hit with inspiration. Mine came from this: I mean, GORG right? I saw it and was instantly getting that angel chorus sound effect in my head. You know the one. Fortunately, I had some… Continue reading A Quick Bathroom Pop
Like I mentioned last week, Bill and I did make it down for an afternoon of biking around downtown DC to check out the Cherry Blossoms. Pro tip for those who want to see a lot in one day - bike it. I'm by no means a biker, but you get to see MILES more… Continue reading Cherry Blossom Bliss
Bill & I haven't been at this blogging thing very long - our Blogiversary isn't until this summer. So not all the things about the blogging world have quite set in yet. I like to think we have the etiquette thing down - giving credit where it's due, linking back to sources and such, and… Continue reading Liebster Award – what?
Hello all! We were lazy bums last week because of the great weather we've had. But this week we've returned with new vigor, so hopefully we'll be back to our usual 3 posts a week with more content than a rant about HomeGoods. For those of you who're not into hockey, this past weekend was… Continue reading Quick & Easy Fan Shirt
So I ducked into HomeGoods today for a 15 minute power stroll through their clearance sections and I couldn't help but roll my eyes at half of their selection. Don't get me wrong, their party and glassware is awesome, but a lot of their other decor items are sooo simple to make. Take this offender:… Continue reading HomeGoods is for Lazy People
I swear we're still here. But incase you aren't from the USA, or are one of the unfortunate few who live above this high pressure front (sorry, Michigan and all of Canada), I'd like to inform you that the weather has been B-E-A-U-tiful here both over the past weekend and up through this week. Check… Continue reading Climate Confusion FTW
You might recall on a previous ReStore trip I found this red lovely box. It's a lacquered pretty from Pottery Barn. Only for me it cost a mere $3. It's a bit scratched up and to be honest..... I'm not a red girl. Coral? Ruby? Maybe. Fire-engine-red? No. So of course, I turned to Pinterest… Continue reading Boxing Match
Sometimes you get an idea... and you just have to try it. Usually I have pinterest to blame. Milk glass has fascinated me since I was a kid. My parents' house backs to a creek and woods and I used to scour those woods for 'treasures' as a kid. There were all kinds of antique… Continue reading Milky Window Gallery
March has largely been marked by climate griping and Ikea adventures. We're seriously going to turn into Swedish Meatballs if we're not careful. Here's a couple of funny Hey Girls that were from our Ikea adventures in March. If you missed last month's recap, here's the Hey Girl from February: And now, without further ado,… Continue reading Hey girl. March 2013 in Review
