Yesterday we slapped some drawer liners in the old RASTafari nightstand and re-organized to make early-morning blind searches much easier. Now that the insides are spruced, it's high time to dress up the top a bit, and make it look a little more grown up. The artwork that has been on display since we unveiled… Continue reading Some RASTafari Re-styling
Some RASTafari Re-Organizing
If you've been following along, you'll know we lovingly refer to our nightstand as RASTafari as it was built from an ikea hack using the RAST. Once we finished the outside, we just sorta tossed some things into it and left it alone. I had always planned to line the drawers with some pretty paper… Continue reading Some RASTafari Re-Organizing

Spice Rack Re-boot – Got Gold?
Just a few months ago, we shared with you a handy little project where we put some baskets into our kitchen cabinet doors to store our spices and recapture space. It was a pretty good idea. The trouble was, we went the dollar store route to try and keep the overall cost low - a… Continue reading Spice Rack Re-boot – Got Gold?

A Little Bathroom Beautification for Book Project Bonanza Vol. 2!
We haven't talked that much about our Bathroom. I recently showed you a peek of mine in DC when revealing my closet clean-up skills last week. But the only glimpse you've gotten of the water closet in Pittsburgh was when I showed you our first B&B artwork. Surprisingly, the room has 3 other walls you… Continue reading A Little Bathroom Beautification for Book Project Bonanza Vol. 2!

Book Project Bananza Vol. 1!
It is no secret that we are big fans of Young House Love. Afterall, it was their blog and encouragement that sparked the start of our own blog. And I'm sure meeting them twice - first in Cincinnati then again in DC helps make the case. But a big part of why we are fans… Continue reading Book Project Bananza Vol. 1!

Inexpensive Art ~ Yummy Kitchen Frames
One of the goals we've set around here is to dress up our walls more. So lets get started! Yup, that's the December 2012 issue of Real Simple magazine. And those are some simple frames leftover from my college-posters-look-classy-in-cheap-frames days. They aren't fancy frames, but their simplicity means they're easier to clean with a quick… Continue reading Inexpensive Art ~ Yummy Kitchen Frames

The Tiers of Gifting ~ Or, a DIY Tiered Platter
When gifting things, we all make priorities. We don't cop to it, but it happens. That cousin that's the weird mouth breather that always gets you something so you have to give them something too? Yup, they're bottom tier. Well these tiers are not about prioritizing what sort of gifting you'll do. They ARE the… Continue reading The Tiers of Gifting ~ Or, a DIY Tiered Platter

The Gift of Dates
No, not the fruit! When revealing Bill's favorite gifts, you got a sneak peak at one special gift I made for Bill - a Date night Jar. I came across a few of them on Pinterest and was particularly inspired by one I saw on Revamp Homegoods. My parents are big on canning - specifically… Continue reading The Gift of Dates

A Little Inventive House Cleaning
Though it wasn't mentioned in our goals for 2013, one of my personal resolutions is to better organize things. Picking up and hitting the road as frequently as I do, I'm often packing a bag without having the time to really unpack it in the first place. To make that process easier and encourage me… Continue reading A Little Inventive House Cleaning

Twas A Very DIY Christmas – Part 2
Before heading east for the holiday, we had a mini-Christmas with Bill's family at his Mom's house. There was some SERIOUSLY tasty pizza (i know pizza sounds un-festive for a family holiday celebration, but you haven't had this pizza - I mean, DELICIOUS stuff! Just sad they're too far from the apartment to deliver!) and… Continue reading Twas A Very DIY Christmas – Part 2

But here ya go, a much delayed recap of Christmas - materialism style. This Christmas was technically our 3rd, but it… Continue reading Twas A Very DIY Christmas – Part 1

Collingswood Theater Becomes Workshop Dreams are Made Of
Psst! I am still waiting to see if my computer dries out and, well, starts ever again. 😦 In the meantime, project sharing will be light, but I'll try and have some iphone edited content up later this week. Stay tuned! I'm not usually one to read from the Patch network of local blogs because… Continue reading Collingswood Theater Becomes Workshop Dreams are Made Of

This Blogcast Post-poned Due to Technical Difficulty
Monday of this week was supposed to kick off our favorite Christmas gifts - and lets just say it was a very crafty holiday - but after a relaxing Sunday of photo editing, my laptop decided it was thirsty. Technology + water =\= fun times. So for right now my lap top is in a… Continue reading This Blogcast Post-poned Due to Technical Difficulty

2013 Goals
Earlier this week we reviewed the things we've accomplished in our short time in Blogland in 2012. Today we'll be discussing the f u t u r e. Personally, I look forward to the efficiency that YouTwitFace would bring us. But alas, we're not quite that far into the future yet. So let's tell you… Continue reading 2013 Goals

2012 In Review
Whelp, we haven't been at this blogging business for very long. But here's a quick rundown of the top events since Finding Our Voice in this little corner of the web this past August. September was a busy month where we flexed our carpentry skills and shared a few of our most popular posts. We… Continue reading 2012 In Review
