Today is my baby shower – which I couldn’t be more excited for (even though I haven’t a thing to wear…if I could run around naked for the next month, I swear I would…but I won’t, because I don’t take pleasure in terrifying small children, and I don’t want to have to tell my daughter about the time Mommy got… Read more →

Damn Gina! That’s a lot of Pregnant!
I am like, really super pregnant. Have you noticed? The other day, I made Scott come with me to the supermarket (which he really hates doing, something about everyone being idiots…) because I no longer wish to go out on my own for fear that strangers will get all up in my business. I’ve noticed, however, that if I drag… Read more →
The Plycraft Project (Phase 1)
Having finally recovered from the Crib Hack, and starting to feel the crunch of the final month of pregnancy closing in on us, Scott’s next big undertaking, The Plycraft Re-upholstery Project, has begun. In the past few weeks, we started to doubt our DIY libidos, and thought that maybe this one was better left to the pros, but after having… Read more →
Killing me softly (Ikea 2010)
Labor Day weekend, and all it’s panic-inducing implications, found Scott and I once again trolling the (jam packed, nightmarish) halls of our favorite mecca of affordable Scandinavian Home Furnishings. This time we were only there for some antique stain (to ensure our changer top matches our Crib) and a single bolt that was missing when we picked up the original… Read more →

Feeling Ambitious?
A year or so ago, Scott and I stumbled across this eBay seller who specializes in DIY Home furnishing books from the 60’s and 70’s, and since then, we’ve developed quite a collection. I’m not telling Scott about this one (hopefully he won’t get around to catching up on my blog posts until the auction’s over) because I know I’d… Read more →
Birds of a Feather
Isn’t it beautiful? It just arrived, and even though the crib hasn’t landed in it’s final spot yet so we can’t hang it, I couldn’t be stopped from putting it together to gaze lovingly at it. It’s our Birds of a Feather Mobile from IGE, available at Elsewheres (and other fine stores, blah blah blah.) I’m loving how it looks… Read more →
