Playing catch up.
Allow me to sneak in here and just pretend I haven’t neglected this site for over three years. Instead, I thought we’d play a quick game of catch up. Major milestones Kennedy: We had a baby! Yup, a whole ass child. Her name is Kennedy Josephine and she was born in October of 2017. That’s…

A Lovely Knight
The last time you saw our living room it looked a little like this: I needed to get rid of that peachy color as fast as possible and I really liked the idea of an accent wall. I’ve never been scared of dark walls so I started there. Our last place had a couple black…

The Master
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…

We’re getting married!
Finally? I know, I know. After 10 years of friendship, which include 8 years of dating, 5 years of living together and 2 years of being engaged, we’re clearly in no rush for much of anything. So, we thought we’d go ahead and spend way too much money to party with our family and friends…

A Case For Nicole Warne*
He doesn’t know what a Gary Pepper Girl is. He’s not quite sure what part of the world she hails from. He couldn’t tell you what her name is if his life depended on it. But whenever Nicole Warne’s gorgeous face flashes across the screen on my laptop (while we’re laying in bed watching yet…
