2 Nailed It

>> Monday, March 7, 2011

You’ll be proud. Progress was made in the master bath this weekend. Somehow I managed to work all weekend and knock out a little vanity & linen closet assembly action. How on earth did I manage that? It helps a smidge having a super handy architect of a dad hanging around. If you find one on sale, I suggest you snag one of your own.

Nailed it! Exactly what my highly sophisticated sketch portrayed months ago. An open linen nook eliminating the pesky back-to-back doors…

3 Nosy Neighbor…a nice way of saying stalker

>> Wednesday, March 2, 2011

The days are getting longer. The weather is getting warmer. We know what that means. Time for some serious neighbor stalking.

Don’t be fooled. While it may appear I’m out for a leisurely stroll, I’m really stealing ideas from the fabulous and mentally remodeling those in need of a little love…new roof, remove hideous wrought-iron, paint trim, that dead rose bush has got to go…you get the gist. With so much to do around my own place, I’m a complete hypocrite, but who says a girl can’t have a little fun while she’s getting her walk on?

One house I’ve had a particularly stalker-ish attraction to is this bad boy. Lovely landscaping, a new roof my 53-year-old-house-child would kill for, but really what I’m drooling over are the shutters…

So rustic and perfect. I need a few of my own…in a shade or two lighter for my own casa, but definitely on the to-do list. Take a number.

2 Feeling the Love: February Recap

>> Monday, February 28, 2011

Not possible. Tomorrow cannot be the kickoff of March 2011. February just started!…Now that I’ve put in my obligatory “say it ain’t so” intro, truth be told, I’m so stinkin’ excited for March to grace us with her presence. Warmer weather, a time change in our favor and one step closer to summer. Let’s get this party started…but before we do, February did have it’s finer moments.
