Building Life Together One DIY at a Time
So we've all seen the beautifully staged bookcases on Pinterest. The ones where everything is seemingly stashed in there but somehow looks perfect. Here's one I've been ogling lately. I really like look of how this one is styled. It really has some character behind it. Now how about the artwork in front? When I… Continue reading Bookshelf Artwork
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
We've not had an entry in our Inexpensive Art series in a bit, but I am just so smitten with this adorable printable I came across via Pinterest that I had to share!

I'm not a red girl. Coral? Ruby? Maybe. Fire-engine-red? No. So of course, I turned to Pinterest… Continue reading Boxing Match

You may recall me joking that I was going to work through John & Sherry's book, Young House Love much like that movie about Julia Child... This was seriously 99% joke though. YES I draw a TON of inspiration from everybody's favorite dynamic-diy-duo, but I SWEAR not all of the projects you see here are… Continue reading Book Project Bonanza Vol. 3
Yes, you read correctly, EPIC. FAIL. Our first Pinstrosity here at B&B, though I'm sure it won't be the last. It all started with the discovery of this old cotton rug in the basement. Unused, just waiting for a home. I had been planning to come up with some sort of small rug to go… Continue reading Pinterest Challenge Winter 2013 – Epic Fail Style
Things have been a little quiet here and that's mostly due to spending every last minute we could with family before heading down from Philly to DC for New Years. We'll be cleaning and organizing before packing it back up for New Years Eve festivities, so things will be light here until after 2013 begins.… Continue reading Should Old Acquaintance be Forgot
