Framing 101

first floor framed

When we started the building process, I knew that some parts would take a while to complete and others would go quickly.  What I did not realize is just how quickly a house could be framed.  It really is amazing to me that our house was completely framed within a few days.  I guess it is just bricks and sticks, huh? Today, I'll give you a tour of our first floor. This is the view of the outside (first floor) from the street.  On the left will be our office and dining, and on the … [Continue reading...]

So, I'm totally late in posting this...but better late than never, right? For me, the Oscars is the creme de la creme.  I absolutely love it.  It's so cliche, but it's my "Superbowl".  More than the show though, I love the red carpet.  Isn't kind of fun to imagine the stars spending all day getting ready, the stylists running around like crazy and the reporters getting a chance to interview these celebrities?  I think it's just so entertaining. I thought I would post some of my … [Continue reading...]

Let the sunshine in

22 February, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Well folks, it’s late February and I’m craving some springtime sun!  How about you?  Since I’m been dreaming of those golden rays, I thought it only appropriate we discuss sunrooms.  Are you lucky enough to have one?  Here in my neck of the woods, they are typically called ‘three season rooms’, but in other parts [...]

Mudroom organization

30 January, 2013 By Leave a Comment

We are in the process of planning the space for our mudroom.  I’ve been scouring the internet for inspiration.  We’ve made a few changes and it appears now that we will have room for 4-5 lockers.  We really believe this space is imperative to our family since we live up North and deal with hats, [...]

I don’t know what the weather is where you live, but in our neck of the woods it is currently -5 degrees outside. It’s our first real taste of winter this year and I’m not loving it.  Thankfully, I stocked up on a few cold weather essentials that this former Florida girl didn’t have and [...]

Just another trip to Target

target shade

I was at Target last week, probably shopping for diapers and makeup, when I stumbled across this gorgeous lampshade. I think it is youthful and so fun, and would make a perfect addition to our new home.  I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned on the blog before, but we have plans to change up our [...]

I owe you a house update

So, where did we leave off with the house?  Oh yeah, we had just dug out half of a new basement.  Well…as I’ve said before, things change. Once we dug out half of the basement, we realized it left us with a very impractical use of the downstairs space.  We would have half that is [...]

Baby #3 5 weeks

When I registered my domain just a few months ago, I had no idea of the surprise in store for me just weeks later.  I very excitingly found out that I am expecting my third baby!  Collin and I are thrilled of course, but the first trimester has been brutal.  I’ve tried my best to [...]

2013 house goals

1 January, 2013 By Leave a Comment

It may be a bit ambitious to list a few things I’d like to do in our new house considering it’s not even built yet, but I’m going to anyway since it’s the beginning of the year and all.  This list is really going to include the extras that aren’t necessary for our move, but [...]

Christmas village 3

Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!  I enjoyed the week off with my little family.  My in-laws traveled to our house and my parents, sister and her boyfriend made it for the day as well. We had a full house and it was great.  Is there anything better than lots of laughter and [...]
