Our [Scott’s] Crib Hack is featured on Ohdeedoh today. Check it out! Up next? We’re hacking our Malm Dresser into a changer to match the crib, and reupholstering our Plycraft Lounger, which will serve as the rocker in our nursery. Oh, and I’ve got to finish the backings for our Expedit Hack – the final touch on our… Read more →

I must be stopped.
It’s like a sickness, me with furniture. But how cool would this little number look next to our white and teak rocker in the nursery? I think VERY. It’s the Easy Reader Side Table from Blu Dot (1/3 of which is made up by none other than Charlie Lazor, creator of the FlatPak house) exclusively for Urban Outfitters. Hot. Read more →
The First Born.
Scott and I are spending the weekend shacked up at my folk’s house while they’re in NY. And when I say “shacked up” I mean “slaving away all day cleaning our place top to bottom including but not limited to steam cleaning the carpets while our dogs play in my parents yard until we crawl back over there late at… Read more →
Voila.
He did it. The shelf is on, the boxes fit (although ideally I’d still like to find linen covered boxes that won’t break the bank) and the thing is sturdy enough for all three of us to sleep in. Our very own Ikea Crib Hack is complete, and I for one am over the moon with the end result (…obviously,… Read more →
R.I.P.
John Hughes died today of a heart attack at the age of 59. I’m truly saddened by this news – there are no words for the enormous impact that he had on me personally, as well as the countless filmmakers and storytellers both big and small that he influenced with his work. Rest in Peace, John. You will be… Read more →
C is for Crazy.
So now that the walls are painted, the crib and changer are in and on their way to completion, and the rocker reupholstery is next on the list of projects for Scott to dive into (did I mention we scored some free white leather, so we’re going with that on the chair?) I’ve started to think about what we want… Read more →
Tick Tock.
What a week it’s been. I’ve taken my first trip to L&D, suffered a stomach virus, and actually, despite mood swings hitting me like a ton of bricks, made some real progress on our nursery (thanks to my ever-tolerant husband.) As usual, I continue to be a buffet of textbook pregnancy symptoms. My hormones are having a field day right… Read more →
Dream a little dream.
Once upon a time, before there was a baby on the way…before the economy took a nose dive…Scott and I had decided that our first home would be one of these beautiful pre-fab creations known as a FlatPak House. We made our preliminary plans (ours was to be notably smaller than those pictured in this gallery) we got our quote,… Read more →
More Nursery Stuff…
I feel my shopaholism slowly tightening it’s grip on me, but I’m trying to keep it as focused on the baby as I can. So I bought a lamp for her nursery. To offset our wild and crazy color, we’re trying to keep the lighting as calm and tranquil as possible. Which is why I’m super excited about this vintage… Read more →
Lime Fetish
My husband puts up with a lot from me these days…like, he should probably be eligible for some kind of award. In generally, I consider myself a pretty go-with-the-flow kind of gal, but as you may have guessed (based on the sunny outlook I’ve repeatedly exhibited on this blog) I’ve been just a little bit cranky throughout the course of… Read more →
