a room of doors.
I remember seeing Sarah’s color-blocked hallway for the first time and gasping. She inspired our master bedroom paint job (which sadly is no more, more on that later). She has a great eye and hand for finishing details. I’d only come across after pictures of the hallway on Pinterest and figured she started off with…

light ’em up: part two.
You’d think I’d be more motivated to pick up around here before I take pictures but you’d be wrong. In this episode, we attack not one, but two boobs. They went down without a fight. You’ll notice a trend happening here with the globes taking their place. I’m going to be completely honest and admit…

light ’em up: part one.
I have this tendency to get overly excited about the next thing. Usually forgetting to embrace the potential in the current. Maybe you can relate but I can get used to a situation or environment relatively quickly and then it becomes old hat. I start to imagine what could be if I had the next…

I promise this blog isn’t just about floors now. To prove it, I’m taking a break from the Living Room to share progress in the master bedroom. It’s definitely not done but we’ve made so much progress from sleeping on a mattress on the floor on top of scary brown wall-to-wall carpeting. We’ve upgraded from…

Clean up on Aisle 4
A quick update on the living room floor (a million years later). When we finally removed all of the carpeting, it started to become more and more apparent why they had covered it up with all that carpeting, over which they threw over some beautiful Jaipur rugs. At some point, someone decided to paint the…

Buried Treasure
The first two things we did when we received our keys was A) lay on the floor and bask in the glory of it all and B) rip up a corner of the carpet in the living room. I had done some research and found that houses built in the 50s and 60s were almost…

We Bought A House!
About 7 years ago, this blog was born. It’s purpose was to document our journey into eventual home-ownership. The House on the Hill was a sort of “rent to own” situation that never materialized. For many reasons, which I won’t really get into, that home was not meant to be for us. So after the…
