When I last left off blogging about our backyard progress, we had just discovered a huge colony of ants living in one of the window boxes on the garage (read all about that here) and subsequently removed the window boxes because they were very old and rotten. We were left with this unsightly view, with discolored patches where the...

Today I switched out the brass door hardware with oil rubbed bronze knobs and hinges. I think it helps complete the vintage, cottage look I was trying to achieve.
The nasty shower faucet was replaced with a satin nickel one. This was a huge undertaking, requiring several trips to...

With my spring grad class finally over, I get a lot more free time back. It’s awesome. As much as I love learning, I also love… not learning. Lisa has a long laundry list of things for me to do around here, which mostly consists of finishing projects I either already started or promised to start. yay. Today w...

Spring has sprung and this beautiful weather is making me pine for bohemian summer dresses, straw bags and strappy sandals.
Problem is, with all this painting I’ve been doing, my hands and feet...

Hey hey all! So a few weeks ago during our conversation a conversation with a friend I mentioned that I’ve only painted most of the rooms in our house once. She kind of laughed and didn’t believe me, but it’s true – half the house was the original color for eight years, and the master and bathroom, my stepdaughter’s room, the kitchen and...

The title of this post is how I'm feeling at this point. Not surprisingly, the wiring infrastructure of Old Town is not the organized and simplified structure you'd probably find in most planned communities. Over the years the electric, phone, cable, and fiber optic services for Old Town have grown somewhat organically as the...

Yesterday, I shared one of my projects from the Habitat Restore Restyle challenge, a repurposed mirror. Today, I thought I’d share what I did with the other mirror.

We have started the house hunting process and have been having a really hard time finding a GOOD real estate agent. We’ve already gone through three within the last week. Why you ask? Because they continue to send us house listings that are everything that we DON’T want, don’t call us when they...
