Why stop at putting a bird on something when you can put an entire birdcage on it?
Follow up question: why stop at one when you can go with three?
Sidenote: we’ve gotten a few questions about the brown sheet on the daybed, so the deal with that is that wes still haven’t picked up sheets for the bed, but...

We can’t believe we’re halfway through February already (January was kind of a blur). So in an attempt to take a minute and appreciate the things that we checked off the ol’ list (which keeps our momentum up and combats any “we didn’t get anything done” nagginess that sneaks up when the...

Let’s make a floater, shall we? Somewhere Katie B is chuckling, because I just used the term “floater” (the video at the bottom of this post might explain that weird maybe-you-had-to-be-there-joke). Anyway, the point is that I did a little frame-hack that’s super easy, free if you have a few basic...

This post will cover two important issues:
- How we whipped up 16 Valentine’s Day goody bags for Clara’s classmates for 43 cents each (literally in the final hour, thanks to an 8pm run to Target last night)
- How hilarious Hey Girl memes are (and a fun way to show your man you love him, or just freak him out – ...

I kinda want to jump on The Voice bandwagon. Not in the sense that I want my shot at getting Adam Levine to turn his chair for me – at which point I would look him dead in the eye and say “keep your hands off my woman, Levine!” (it never hurts to lay clear boundaries with a guy like him). I want to jump on...

Q: “How do you know when you’re investing in the right piece for a room? I’m paralyzed to pull the trigger and then later realize the table, curtains, or rug I’m currently eying aren’t ‘the answer’ for my room and then spend years regretting them.” – Melissa
We get a lot...

We love celebrating Valentine’s Day with you guys by giving away some free jewelry, and this year Sherry’s especially stoked because the prize is coming from none other than Kendra Scott – one of her favorite places to request that I buy her earrings for various occasions (like the past two Christmases)....

Aw yeah, we’ve been waiting to hang our postcard shelves from our first house’s office for over two years and we finally found the right spot for them. Ba-dow:
We detailed the whole how-we-made-them process here (you should click that just to see how tiny Clara was) so here’s how we adapted them for this...

Can you believe it’s been three weeks since our last tour update? But even though you haven’t heard much about it, we’ve been on the road (and in the air) quite a lot lately. It took us nearly to the end of our book tour, but we finally made it all the way to the other side of the United States. So...
