Making Pillows

Authors: GiGi

The king sized bed dilemma.
So many cute duvet covers don't come in a King Size.
We finally found one, but for some reason the shams were for queen pillows.

(those top "space filler" pillows sunk into the heavily spaced shams)
It made for a really awkward look when making the bed.
Last weekend I took the left over fabric from the kitchen...

Inspiration

Authors: GiGi

We joined a Home Exchange website. The houses are some of the best decor inspiration I've ever seen. Would it be totally weird to pin some of it?
We already have a few exchanges set up in places we want to spend weekends!
--------------------------
And...I got a new camera charger. It was only 39 dollars, plus the $65 ticket I got for...

To Do

Authors: GiGi

This girl needs to get back on track. Our life has been taken over with "life" and I just can't keep up with laundry let alone doing anything extra!
Here's my weekend to-do list:
Paint over all the patching in every room
Hang the gold flowers over the bed
New bedside tables / figure something out for the current ones
Recover the rocking...

Would you Rather?

Authors: GiGi

Have a shower/tub combo with a closet in the bathroom or a separate tub and stall shower?
I'm thinking bathroom renovation (I know - finish with the kitchen first!)...

Oh where oh where has my battery gone?

Authors: GiGi

My camera battery charger and the spare battery are missing in action.
We have this problem in our house - there is no designated office. Well, there is, but it has changed three times. We've both switched jobs, and home offices, and now T stays home all day.
So, I have NO idea where the charger is.
Plus, I have a super bouge-y...

There is nothing happening here

Authors: GiGi

There is absolutely nothing happening except we're all running around getting "stuff" done.
Like our jobs and taking care of our insane toddler.
Sleep hasn't been happening because 2 year molars ARE happening.
It has been raining and foggy and cold.
My to do list still has a ton of project on it, but now at the top of the list are things...

Flooring Update

Authors: GiGi

We went to Home Depot this weekend to look at flooring there (see what they had) and while most of their flooring was HORRIFYING, they did have one porcelain tile sample I liked.

The thinking is that we would do a checkerboard pattern of the dark grey and white. We discussed installation costs with them and they quoted us around $700....

Vinyl Tiles, Running in the street, and green organic food

Authors: GiGi

Totally related - all of it.
I'm ready to fix the kitchen floors. The quotes we got to put in hardwood were double what we anticipated (what else is new). The "per square foot" quotes were WAY higher than the going rate because our kitchen is so small two companies required a minimum charge.
We could pay for it, but I really don't...

Unconditional Parenting - A step by step guide

Authors: GiGi

We are "successfully" using two parenting/discipline techniques. I thought I'd share since on the Blue Eyed Bride blog she asked for some assistance. By "successful" I mean that we aren't worried about T having tantrums, hitting other kids, or yelling at us. We aren't stressed about if we are doing the right thing. He still has...
