Building Life Together One DIY at a Time
In our OBX Wedding Planning recap we noted we chose The Inn on Pamlico Sound for our wedding reception venue. We chose The Inn because we wanted a beach wedding that still had traditional reception elements. We especially wanted a true first dance and a seated dinner. The Inn boasts a large covered pavilion, perfect for a dance floor. As for… Continue reading Beth & Bill’s DIY Wedding
I am a graphic designer hobbyist, and as we shared with our Save The Dates, I was all about designing as much of our wedding as I could. So of course our invites were going to be designed by yours truly! There are a lot of angles you can approach your DIY Invites, and A… Continue reading Our Outer Banks Wedding Invitations
So, we picked OBX for our wedding destination - now we had to tell everyone about it! While we have several wonderful friends' save-the-dates on our fridge with their smiling faces, we knew we didn't want our faces on someone's fridge. But we did like the magnet trend as a handy reminder about our wedding.… Continue reading DIY OBX Wedding Save the Dates
If you haven't noticed already, Bill & I are big fans of The Outer Banks (OBX for the cool kids) of North Carolina. In fact, Bill will admit that it was HE who, while on an early date, mentioned how he thought OBX would be a great place to get married. I nodded in agreement… Continue reading Planning An Outer Banks Wedding

I mentioned it on Tuesday with the 'White Zone' at the top - the gallery section of the bookshelf.

In keeping with our recent trip to the Outer Banks, I've decided to keep things beachy keen for the week. Let's see how long I can keep this going! You may recall in my chronicles of my recent trip to England that I hit the jackpot in Pool - oodles and oodles of sea glass!… Continue reading Sea Glass Decor
As you all know, Bill & I spent the end of June enjoying the sun, surf and sand in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. And it honestly is my happy place. And after our recent fun, we thought we'd share with you why we love it so much. Let's start with some of the… Continue reading 11 Reasons Why We Love OBX
We're still at the beach...on OBX time. We'll be back in action next week!
Bill & I are off to our favorite place in the world, the Outer Banks, for a week of R&R before the real world hits me in the face again. So I figured what better way to kick off the week than to share with you what's in my beach bag. Coach Canvas Beach Shell… Continue reading What’s in My Beach Bag
So, normally, DC would be an absolute ZOO now, blanketed in tourist in town for the Cherry Blossoms. Mother nature seems to have had other plans, and instead we're under a winter weather advisory. Thanks for nothing, Phil. So since the cherry trees are NOT blossoming just yet, I turned to my local craft store… Continue reading Cherry Pink Spring Mantle
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!
Update: We've been featured on Ikea Hackers! Stroll on over to Jules' blog to take a look! And WELCOME fellow Hackers! As I previously shared in this post, Bill had some interesting decorating ideas. It was very 'take from dorm, insert into apartment' like. Don't get me wrong, I'm proud to be Irish too, but I… Continue reading Putting Things on the Walls – Our Journey to Photo Ledges
