Horse Hound and House
Horse Hound and House documents our journey to revive an 1970's Cape and make room for our lovely horse. Putting all our touches on our first home has been a definite learning experience! I blog about everything (and sometimes nothing).

I did a small overhaul on my blog! I definitely still have some touching-up to do, and I’m still getting back into the hang of CSS/HTML, but I’m learning! I used to be able to create entire websites from scratch in HTML, but those nerdy/toomuchtimeonmyhands days are over. Let me know what you think!
After my fence post...
Weekend Wood

I started a few wood-related projects this weekend. This was before winter finally arrived and dumped about 5 inches of snow on us. Unfortunately it didn’t accumulate until the sun set and I had to work the next day, so I really didn’t get to enjoy it at all. I wanted to take a bunch of pictures and play with Jackson...

I haven’t posted in over a week! That is terrible. Apologies! I don’t even have the excuse that I haven’t been home much, or I’ve been sick. I’ve just been kinda lazy to be honest. I sat down on Sunday to make a weekend post, but then got distracted with those “we have to do these things before...
Sad Wreath

Sometimes, I have no motivation at all. Like this entire past weekend. I think all the working, running around, taking care of animals, the house, etc. gets to me and by the end of the week, I don’t want to do anything. But today, I was suddenly motivated after seeing a sad, lonely wreath hanging on my back door. I think...
My Desk is Done!

It’s finally put back together and in my newly painted office. My mom found this baby at a local thrift store, and we both knew it was perfect. I was using a kitchen table-ish desk that I had painted and it just wasn’t what I wanted. The office space here is pretty big, so I wanted a bigger desk space. My mom haggled...

I just wrote that title out and sang it to the Zatarain’s commercial jingle. Compu-ter bluuues! … Anyway.
The time has come. You know, that time. When your computer just decides it can no longer go on. My laptop is dramatically clinching its chest, eyes closed, stiff-legged, saying “just go on without me!”...

Ugh. I haven’t been motivated AT ALL to finish this office. I’ve painted about 2/3 of the trim, and have one coat of paint up. I like to pretend I enjoy painting, but after a few strokes or swipes with the roller, I’m done. My mom can vouch for that. I can’t tell you how many rooms we’ve started...
Craigslisting

I think I just made up a word. I was “Craigslisting” earlier today and became inspired. Craigslist is the ultimate stop for all the random and unnecessary whatevers that we don’t need. We’ve had amazing luck using it, both buying and selling, and always catch each other Craigslisting on our phones. Before...

Most of the time, I hate rain. It ruins everything. The people I work with know how much I hate it, because I always complain when it rains. I have to go outside in it to feed Bandit and bring him in. He gets stuck in the barn if it’s raining all day. The yard floods. The sump pump runs like crazy. My hair gets wet. I...
Horseshoe Switch Plates

I decided to finally paint our den switchplate covers, after picking up some Rustoleum Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint from Home Depot. They both had primer and wall paint on them, and we never got around to replacing them. This is how terrible they looked:
I can’t believe we left them like that for 6 months. They actually...
