Last night I enjoyed a much needed evening of crafts with Sara, Amelia, and Jodi (I’m working on making my own Hooter Hiders – following the instructions seen HERE) and while my placenta brain prevented me from photographing any of the impressive projects my friends are working on (Jodi’s making gorgeous table runners for her upcoming nuptials, Sara was working… Read more →

Swank you very much.
I’ve always had a bit of a thing for Stationery and Ephemera. Well, just recently FabulousStationery.com was kind enough to send me some samples of their work, and I am hooked. (As you can probably tell from the above tiling of favorites – I couldn’t pick just one card to display – and these are just the tip of the… 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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
