And I generally do not like nasty and gold things. Plus when we took it down to pack it up we realized the whole thing needed to be re-wired to avoid catching fire. I finally decided to tackle this because of the whole craft room renovation. Yesterday morning I thought this was going to be …

Curtains… For Grown-Ups!
Okay so if you were to come over the first thing I would say to you is, "I know, I know, the front of our house does not mirror the cuteness within!" And it’s so true. And a big part of that was the whole sheets-for-curtains situation (one of which was, uh-hum, bright and plaid). …
I’ve been holding out on you.
Okay so still no news on whether or not grandpa gets released today, though this blog post will most likely be interrupted by a phone call on the matter. But before all of that happened Sciarrino and I worked on an awesome project last week. I had been planning on redoing the craft studio all …
You Should See the Other Guy
Awe poor grandpa, he took quit the fall on Sunday afternoon. Luckily Bj was there, though he is beating himself up over not being able to catch him in time. And grandpa was starting to feel so much better. Sciarrino said, "Man you and Bj just can’t catch a break" And sometimes I feel like …
I was scared of the internet
Okay so I just finished reading Harry Potter, and no I’m not going to talk about it. I know some of you might still be reading, including Sciarrino! So I didn’t want to go online until I had finished it because I was so afraid I might accidentally find out what had happened. I planned …
Imitation
Is the sincerest form of flattery don’t you think? I do! Rexanne emailed me a bit ago to ask the color of my Looks fab I think. The brighter blue is the original color (when she was trying to match just going off the blog) happy accident because it looks awesome in the pantry! Very …
Twilight Time
This evening Bj and I walked over to Brent and Sciarrino’s (remember they only live a few blocks away) to see their new paved driveway. Their yard is looking beyond wonderful with little hanging lanterns in the big tree, water toppling out of a large rock my brother bore a hole into, and all lengths …
Thrifting the big city
I got up super early for the second day in a row, why? To thrift of course. Sciarrino and I headed up to Portland to hit up some sales, not something we usually do, in fact I’ve only been garage/estate/church sale shopping up there a few times before. It’s so hard to figure out which …
To the Extreme
Well the biggest thing to happen around here lately was the Extreme Makeover: The Home Edition coming to Corvallis, a town 20 miles south where I went to school. The reveal was today, and luckily I heard about the whole thing by reading Sarah’s blog. I emailed her as soon as I read they were …
Happy Birthday V!
My god daughter is one, I friggin can’t believe it. A wooden doll house with all this awesome simple wooden furniture. Total score. It was the sale last weekend that I had to get up crazy early for to get a number, but obviously worth it. It also came with a wooden train. V seemed …
