Last spring we curated a sale on Joss & Main, and we were psyched when they invited us back again this year – and agreed to a special perk for you guys (more on that in a sec). Getting the opportunity to reopen a little virtual decor store of sorts over there is always fun, and although we didn’t set the prices ourselves,...

Ding dong, the bare spot above the TV is dead.
Remember how it used to look like this for a few years?
And then we graduated to a bigger tv and kept an eye out for the right media cabinet for another year or so.
And then we finally got here with the help of a $59 cabinet that we found at a thrift store…
Whew. So glad...

Ok, not the whole world, but a good smattering of it. For those of you who watched our house tour video yesterday, you’ve seen a shot of these babies in action (and by these babies, I mean eight freshly framed prints that we hung in our hallway above the board & batten that we added). But here are some close ups...

It’s been over half a year since we shared our last video house tour, and since a bunch of you’ve been requesting an update, we finally cleaned the whole house shoved everything into our closets and made an all-one-take video. At first it seemed like we didn’t have that many new things to report, but then...

Remember this “Things That Are Awesome” print that we got at a local craft fair last Christmas by an amazing artist named Rachel (here’s her shop) with the intent of hanging it in the guest room (you know, so everyone can study all the things that are awesome while they stay)?
Well, we finally got it framed...

Why has our pantry earned such a regal title? Because it’s wearing some crown…
Allow me to rewind and explain its road to the throne a bit first. You may remember that the few upper cabinets in our kitchen have lived a very humble life so far.
When we finished our kitchen reno last year we decided to forgo any crown...

It’s pretty clear from all the embedded music videos and song-reference-titled posts that John and I are music lovers. John even mentioned that he sings a lot in this post and we all know that I was a wee bit enamored with a certain rapper in my youth (an obsession that drove me to say the word “phat” on...

First things first, we did a little spring cleaning so we have a fresh little header and a lighter-and-brighter site background up in hurr. Hope you guys love it as much as we do.
Speaking of apologies, it’s been way too long since our last window shopping adventure (you can check out all the small boutiques, big chains, and...
