  • Bathroom: Update.

    Bathroom: Update.

    I guess its about time I posted pictures of the “master” bathroom since I did finish painting it some time in March, lol. I guess it just won’t feel finished for a while. I decided to go with black, adding alternating flat/glossy stripes on one wall. Things that are temporary in this space include: floor…

  • Living Room: Update.

    Living Room: Update.

    Here’s a little peek into what transpired this past weekend. I probably should’ve tidied up before I took that after shot, but there’s still so much to do. You can see off to the distance that there’s still more shelving and doors that need to be painted, all the furniture in this room is temporary.…

  • Dethroned.

    Dethroned.

    Back in October when we first came to see the house we would be moving into there wasn’t much I disliked. I was completely elated to be moving into a house!, lol. The owner had taken some quick shots of the house prior to that, and the one thing that stuck out more than anything…

  • Mom’s Bedroom

    Mom’s Bedroom

    Mom’s bedroom has been (and still is) a really fun project for me. Its the one room (with a door) that I have 100% control over. I wanted it to flow easily with the rest of the house, at least from the outside in, but that was the only real restriction. I went slightly darker…

  • Yard Work.

    Yard Work.

    So we decided we needed to attack the yard if we were ever going to finish it in time to enjoy in the Summer. So very slowly, the weeds are coming out. We (read: Yong, because he’s done most of the work so far) typically stop when the bin is full, lol. Baby steps.

  • A Post for Chris.

    A Post for Chris.

    We suck, we know it. No one has made that clearer than our buddy Chris from The Warfare Collective. So, Chris, this post is for you. Thank you for the bar mat, Sailor Jerry cups, bottle opener, stickers and thank Dawn for the cookies!! Come down here and party already. If I forgot something that’s…

  • Bar Hopping.

    Bar Hopping.

    I wish I had taken some pics of Yong getting his Hulk on and taking down all the shelves and the closet. Alas, I did not. So we’re left with these: Sexy right? I know. Now all we need is a bar.

  • Closet Sensation

    Closet Sensation

    So one thing I really wanted to tackle was my mom’s closet (which we share). After flipping through the December issue of Lonny Mag, I found myself drooling over Anthony Gianacakos’ tiny new york apartment. Especially his closet (see pg. 104), which was small but so well done. I had to scratch the Ikea bookcase…
