We’re Engaged!
Oh My Gawd You Guys! Bill popped the question on the top deck of a Gateway Clipper sightseeing cruise while coasting down the Monongahela River. He waited just until we reached the point where the Mon & the Allegheny Rivers join to become the Ohio, at The Point, to propose. Always one to get 'to… Continue reading We’re Engaged!

Inexpensive Art – Restore Scores Or: Last Minute Project Completion
Remember that time I showed you the cool little flower still life we scored at the ReStore? Yeahhh... that was February. Nearly a year ago. And where has this cute little frame been? Sitting behind my purse on our console table, waiting to be hung on the wall. Then we had formal plans for our… Continue reading Inexpensive Art – Restore Scores Or: Last Minute Project Completion

Ding Dong the Duck is Done
Pittsburgh had an unusual visitor over the past month. He was big, yellow, and thought to have brought good luck to the Pirates. He was a giant, forty feet tall and three stories wide Duck. Bill and I took a trip down after going out to dinner, because nothing says romance than a giant duck.… Continue reading Ding Dong the Duck is Done

Dresser Details
So we already covered how I found a sweet old dresser on Craigslist and adopted it. I gave her a little TLC, paint, and glue to bring her back to her glory.

Dressers, the Anti-Nomadic Furniture
So, moving. Long distances. The biggest decision you have to make - do I bring it all? With every move you'd be wise to downsize somewhat, but what about the big stuff? Like furniture? My goal when moving from DC to Pittsburgh was to do it all in the back of my compact SUV and… Continue reading Dressers, the Anti-Nomadic Furniture

Hey girl. July 2013 in Review
Where did July go?!? Time flies when you're moving and job-searching! But there was still enough time to get a few projects in. Obviously the main theme of the month was MOVING which was a much bigger endeavor than I anticipated, taking a lot of time and limiting the fun things we shared. But there… Continue reading Hey girl.

Ikea Inspired Coat Cubby
In preparation for my move to Pittsburgh, I was slowly creating ways to maximize storage in the apartment, so that when I got here I'd have places for my things too. One of the areas of the apartment that has (mostly) become mine is the hall closet. I'll have pictures later as there are LOTS… Continue reading Ikea Inspired Coat Cubby

Yes, you went to ikea excited… Continue reading Moving & Packing Ideas

Guess What?!
Do you know what this box means? Yes! You are correct! We DO have fantastic packing tape that just so happens to have my favorite letter on it! (Thanks, Mom!) But what else does it mean? ? ? ? Yup! Bill & I have done a lot of talking and planning, and of course it's… Continue reading Guess What?!

Summer Lounging
Ok, so all the blogosphere is sharing their beautiful patios and outdoor living rooms with their awesome DIY tables and other furniture (check out Michelle's table that she got her husband Nate to build, awesome! Or this sad cast-off table that Greg and Ashley rescued from the curb-side and finished!) These projects first make me… Continue reading Summer Lounging

A Little Bedroom Evolution
So today I was reading through one of my favorite blogs, Sew Woodsy, about their hysterical search for ticks, and the crash of their headboard. (Seriously, stop over and give it a read. Too funny!) I sent them a link to our own headboard project to illustrate how we hung our headboard as ours is… Continue reading A Little Bedroom Evolution
