    Chocolates and Yellows and Golds, oh my!

    I love how the paint turned out on the armoire. Its shades lighter than the gray on the wall, so it goes but doesn’t blend in. The hardware, however, has worn out its welcome. I tried to live with it, but its overall just too dark for me. I think the scale is off too,…

  • photo diary: good food + weather.

    photo diary: good food + weather.

    Been a busy bee. Handling too much super serious life business, eating good food, not getting proper manicures (yuck!), celebrating love and living in sandals. Life could be a lot worse.

  • Dirty thirty.

    Dirty thirty.

    Can I just say that speed cooking is not my thing? It also makes for undercooked rice, grr. But everyone scraped their plates and told me it was delicious

  • Stanley.

    Stanley.

    Which is a lot. I wanted to make it easier for her caregiver to.. well, care for her. I knew I didn’t want another dresser in the room (she already has two and I need more storage than it could provide) but it had to be easily accessible and near her bed. One day I…

    Keeping peace.

    We’re enjoying the residual excitement from the trip and taking it easy this week. We’ll be back with some projects and updates soon. :) Oh, and don’t mind our dust if you happen to notice a few changes around the site as well.

  • Chairs.

    Chairs.

    New chairs for the dining room from Overstock. Sturdy, sexy, comfy and relatively inexpensive. We wanted 6 chairs, but decided that most of the time it would only be the two of us having dinner. So it didn’t make sense to buy 6 pretty and expensive chairs. Instead we bought four great but not amazing…

  • Hanging on.

    Hanging on.

    It’s up and it’s glooorious! We promise, these pictures do its beauty and size no justice :) Here’s a close-up of the texture when lit up: Now, we’re going to have to tackle another project that I had tried to ignore: The OTHER woman pendant light is going to find a new home in the…

  • Light me up, baby!

    Light me up, baby!

    Earlier this month we had Mother’s Day brunch at Yong’s mother’s house. The event was so pleasant that it was decided that we’d have scheduled lunches every so often. It was, also, decided we’d be next to host. The get together isn’t for another month or so but it put the pressure on for getting…
