Dang! It’s October! My absolute favorite month of the year and it’s flying by before I can even sit for a second to enjoy it. Even though I haven’t blogged here in a while, I did manage to write a little something for Aileen over at At Home in Love while she’s on vacation, so head on over there to check out 3 easy (and renter friendly) ways to refresh your bathroom.
Stay tuned because I’ll be back soon with some very fun news!
Happy Wednesday!
So remember way back when I was going to do that whole living room project? Yeah, well, most of that kind of fizzled out into vapor, but I recently actually accomplished one of the tasks! The Gallery Wall! This also means I finally gave B his birthday present from 2011….two and a half years late, but who’s really counting?
Anyway, the whole process was really seamless with minimal holes in the wall so I wanted to share how I did my gallery wall. Continue Reading…
The weather has been getting ever-so-slightly cooler the past few days which means my knitting needles are calling my name. Here’s some fun projects that could be fun to try out this winter season (oh my gosh, did I just say winter?! ugh, I’m not actually ready for that yet)
1 | This isn’t the first time I’ve had knitted poufs on the blog. I should just break down and buy the giant knitting needles and go for it. This one is actually crochet and other colors are available for purchase on etsy
2 | I love this idea for a wood stool! Martha Stewart gives you the step by step on how to make a knitted slip cover for a simple stool. (image source)
3 | I still have yet to knit a sweater (for a human) and this one looks like a good one to try. From the Purl Bee.
4 + 5 | Knit baskets! what else is there to say? (Grey basket source) (Cream basket source)
Do your project cravings change when Fall comes?
Why not kick off the week with a bedrooom makeover update? Yes, I have decided to drag out this makeover for as looong as possible. And now that I think about it, if we go back to the inaugural post for this whole process, I believe I made finding a blanket to replace that fur monster completely optional. There’s still plenty of “mandatory” things to be done (ahem, nightstand) but I happened on this blanket, and it was cute (and in the budget), so Lucy got a new and improved bed blanket.

Well, folks, I’m managing a post a week these days. I’m also managing more vintage furniture lusting shopping. This past trip I came across some Broyhill Brasilia pieces and deemed the furniture line worthy enough of its own post to the likeness of Paul’s post from a couple weeks ago. Which, by the way, I went and checked up on my table and chairs, and it’s still there…waiting to be purchased and just be AWESOME in someone’s (read: my) kitchen.
But anyway, I found yet another awesome vintage store in Columbus ridiculously close to all the others, and it had a Broyhill Brasilia dining set and sideboard. I was instantly drawn to it. I love the dark wood and that bold graphic of the curves that the entire collection weaves into every piece. Continue Reading…
