You’ve probably noticed that I’ve been a bit quiet with updates to the progress in the kitchen and I thought I’d show you why there’s been a bit of radio silence. The cabinets were installed over the past week and overall we are thrilled with the storage they are going to provide. But when I looked around I realized that ...
First of all, if you’re finding this blog from Young House Love, welcome! I’m thrilled you popped over to see the blog and I hope you enjoy it. I tend to jump around topic-wise, ranging from renovations (currently we’re working on our kitchen) to gardening to DIY projects. If you like what you see, you might want to consider getting ...
I hate to leave you hanging on garden posts while I’m stuck in kitchen renovation land. Plenty of the country also got a thick blanket of snow recently so I think we’re all a bit fed up with spring’s punctuality problem. It snowed at our house a bit over the weekend too so I didn’t exactly get my garden chores ...
Or: How we got this crazy heavy sink out of the kitchen and onto the deck. I’m writing this Sunday morning. The cabinets are being installed and I’m mostly hiding because I don’t really care for the messy/scary parts.

So instead of mentioning that there is still a 5-foot tall pile of snow in my yard, or that I’m behind on pruning things because I can’t get through the snow to actually ...

There is nothing like knowing you are spending a lot of money on something that is not easily changed—the layout, counters, etc—to give you a good case of decision paralysis. Because we sort of fast-tracked our mini kitchen renovation ...
I was shuffling through Google Reader* this morning checking on all my favorite blogs (the iPad and a cup of coffee in bed are pretty much the best accompaniments to blog reading) and one of my favorite design blogs was talking about gardening. I love when that happens. This great designer (who shall remain nameless) is making a garden for ...
I think March must be the most challenging month in my neck of the woods. It feels like it should be spring. The stores are filled with pastel everything, magazine covers are fresh and bright and lucky friends who live even a little bit south of here are in the full-on throes of springtime. But it is not spring here. ...
