and the winner is…

Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote for the Powder Room wallpaper. Some of you surprised me, you really did, Dave- the green with orange birds? I would have never guessed that would be your favorite in a hundred years, I’m so impressed! Brandy- not surprised with your choices but much surprised by [...]

Pretty Mess

I met the tile guys tonight, Renaldo and Jose. Sooo nice and, really, the job they’re doing is out of this world. They also weighed in on the topic of which light fixture to choose for the dining room so I thank them for that too. Ken and I don’t really have the same aesthetic so it’s [...]

Cast Your Vote

The Powder Room. Possibly one of the most fun rooms in any house to decorate. It’s sort of a no holds barred kinda thing. It’s the one room where you can do something crazy and it’s totally and completely acceptable. So I’m putting wallpaper in mine. It’s back, it’s better than ever and I’ve been [...]

Windows in the Bedroom

As my friend Jessica so eloquently stated, “he’s half man, half machine.” Also installed today, Robert’s new bedroom windows and the washer [...]

Sunday Night at the Spider Shack

Color

I am at a loss for words. The living room, dining room and kitchen are painted and I couldn’t be happier with the color. The doors have been hung and they’re gorgeous. The master bath is making huge amounts of progress each day. I really cannot wait for everyone to see it in person. 

Polar Bear

The color of all of the molding that began to be painted today! We’re on to paint! Can you believe it? I just got off the phone with Ken and he’s starting the living room walls as we speak. When I left the house tonight at 5:30 he was just finishing the ceiling and it [...]

It’s All Downhill From Here

Things are really coming together, walls have been closed up and primed, moldings are on and floors have been patched. Now when people come over it doesn’t look so scary and they can really get excited. This weekend my friend Jessica stopped by to take a peak as did Robert’s mom and her husband Frank who [...]
