From a house —-> to an apartment
(I finally have the internet again, and therefore able to post.) We’ve moved into our new apartment and boy is it a mess of boxes, stuff we shouldn’t have brought, things we should have thrown away, two dogs, and a massive amount of clothes [not in a closet]. Wow. Anyway…here’s a peek into our mess....
I know a great house for sale!!
Hey guys, We have some big news! We’re moving to Brooklyn! I got a new job (and Nick has always been based out of NYC ), so we’re putting our house up for sale! All the hubbub going on in our personal life is why we haven’t had time to really do much on the...
Long weekend working in the garden
On our long holiday weekend, we spent a lot of time out in the garden doing weed control, grass resurrection, and shrub removal. Plus there was nice downtime at the end for a PBR or two. (I’ll be doing a separate post on the removal of our huge forsythia bush with instructions for anyone else...
Porch Love, Summer of 2010
As it happens each summer, I’m obsessed with porch living. Of course, it would be less difficult if I wasn’t living in [what appears to be] the world’s most humid climate in the Northeast U.S. at the moment. (What gives North?! I thought I moved here from the South to escape all that humidity and...
The Country Home kitchen makeover story finally hits newsstands!!
I realize I’ve been terrible about posting anything here lately. So while I’m waiting [anxiously] for my wedding photos to arrive back, the Country Living makeover article finally hit newsstands!! Our kitchen is a two-page spread on pages 68-69! Very exciting!!
Wedding Bliss
So I took a LONG time off from this blog b/c I’ve been completely immersed in work and wedding planning. Doing both sometimes felt like I had two and a half full time jobs. But soon I’m going to begin posting more here…beginning with pics of my wedding and all the little details that went...
The new bedroom wall color!!
It’s called Smoked Oyster by Valspar at Lowes. I’ve decided it’s perfect. And for that, my fiancee is very glad since I had to try 5 different colors to get to this one.
New Bed!
We’re picking up our new bed this weekend, and I still haven’t figured out what color to paint the bedroom! Nothing is making me happy. I might have to admit that I don’t actually like/want color on my walls in the bedroom. It’s a hard thing to admit b/c it sounds so good in theory…but...
Behind the scenes of the kitchen photo shoot!
So today was a lot of fun! The stylists showed up at 9am on the dot, and the photographers were right behind. I’d stayed up most of the two nights previous cleaning, tweaking, and editing [primarily the spices in] my kitchen so that it was putting it’s best foot forward. For about a week, I’ve...
Country Living Magazine is coming tomorrow…
Okay, I haven’t mentioned it yet because I was afraid of jinxing it. And then when I found out, I’ve been rushing around cleaning and doing some last minute projects (in between traveling and all the other things going on in my life). But anyways…tomorrow Country Living magazine will be here taking pictures of my...
In the throes of wedding planning
I’m in the midst of major wedding planning which includes but is not limited to lots of DIY projects, saving money wherever I can, and pretending that I’m trying to also get in shape for the big day (next June). Anyways…my whole thoughts at the moment seemed to be consumed by caterers, photographers, and drooling...
