The Mini Social is having a sale on Kate Quinn Organics, and I HAD to pick up one of their infant saques for my little girl to come home from the hospital in. “The Coming Home” outfit seems to be quite the rage amongst new Moms these days, but I wasn’t quite getting what the fuss was about until I… Read more →

Ohdeedoh Love
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
Hack in Progress
What started as THIS now looks like that. The sides have been constructed and holes drilled. (The ends will be painted before the rails are permanently attached.) We’re on our way to a modern crib! (Don’t worry – that clutter is in our workshop, not our house.) Read more →
Swoon.
How stunningly beautiful is this chair? If I wasn’t a glutton for punishment who enjoyed being a man-cave widow while my husband spends hours on end in his workshop slaving away on our many many (too many) DIY projects for our little girl’s nursery, then I would certainly be in a bidding frenzy over this vintage (yet newly upholstered) Danish-made… Read more →
So tired.
It seems like just yesterday that I was in Berkeley with my Sister awaiting the arrival of my youngest niece, Paloma. Now Lolo’s a fiery toddler poking at my “tumm-uh” (as she calls it) seeming to understand that her future playmate is gestating in there, while big Sis Eva gives my belly hugs and kisses, and even whispers conspiratory secrets… Read more →
Let the fun begin.
Our crib hacking adventure has begun, and I’m so excited about the prospects of positive results, I can’t wait until we have a finished product to share our progress. It all started one afternoon while I was helping Sara convert her Baby Mod Parklane Crib (which I’ve always been a fan of) into a Toddler bed. I was rattling off… Read more →
Yes we can.
It’s hot, and I’m still sitting in bed being “creepy” as Scott calls it – because he’s still sleeping next to me and I like to stare at him when he starts to stir so he gets that uneasy feeling of someone watching him while he sleeps. (Really freaks him out.) Scott’s been trying to recover from the cold… Read more →
