Double Shower Curtain

Authors: DecorandtheDog

If you’ve been reading awhile, you know that I’ve struggled finding the right shower curtain for our guest bathroom.  The room is long and narrow with high ceilings.  There is also a shortage of cute shower curtains in the world.

I think I solved my design dilemma. I went with a double shower curtain and I like...

Michelob ULTRA Light Cider Review

Authors: DecorandtheDog

Can you believe it’s already the end of June? Yeah, me neither.
The husband and I have decided that we need to start enjoying this summer before it slips away from us. Part of our problem is that we both have a bad habit of wishing away the work days. There are still a few good hours after 5:00 PM that we need to take...

Build It or Buy It

Authors: DecorandtheDog


I’m a total blog liar.  I WAS going to take a break.  And then I got a last minute e-mail that I needed to post today in order to participate in an ad thing.  Eh.  Why not?
Nate and I had a discussion at supper last night. I asked him if he was interested in building something this week-end.  He gave...

Pass It Project Recipients

Authors: DecorandtheDog

I was going to continue with Chicago today but I’m too lazy to edit photos.  All-Star blogger right here.  I actually think I need a little bit of a blog break.  I’ve felt this need in the past but I fought through it.  This time I’m going to give in.  I’ll be back on Monday with a full week of posts!...

Eating Our Way Through Chicago

Authors: DecorandtheDog

I tried to get a post together for yesterday but my stomach was too large to hold my laptop.  Don’t worry.  I’m not preggo.  I just ate my way through Chicago this past week-end. I was telling one of my co-workers about our trip and she asked if we did anything besides eat. The answer was “not really.”

Nate and...

The Pass It On Project is all about spreading joy through handmade items.

Granola Bites

Authors: DecorandtheDog

Nate and I recently thought we’d try this thing where we eat better. We don’t eat horrible.  We only eat junk food on the week-ends.  We do, however, eat an okay amount of packaged products.  We’re slowly transitioning to a more cleaner way of eating. 

We both like granola bars.  I eat a lot of...

I’m 30 Quilt

Authors: DecorandtheDog

So, I’m participating in this Block a Month thing over at In Color Order.  Well, sort of participating.

To quote myself… “Once a month.  That’s pretty low pressure.  Finish a quilt top in a year.  That’s about right on schedule for my normal projects.  Let’s do this!”

Ummm.  Yeah.  I finished ...

Summer Sunday Mornings

Authors: DecorandtheDog

I know I’ve mentioned it before but I really love Sunday mornings.  It’s my favorite morning of the week.  I thought I’d document a little of our summer Sunday morning.  I have a feeling it may change in the next few years and it will be nice to remember a little slice of our quiet mornings.
Sunday mornings...

Animals in the Bed

Authors: DecorandtheDog

Ike doesn't feel like he's getting enough blog time.  Poor Ike.
Our precious furry child has developed a naughty new habit.  Normally, he sleeps happily in his cage next to our bed.  He sleeps.  We sleep.  Beautiful.
The past couple of weeks have been different.  The sun has positioned itself so...
