Ohhhhh boy, where do we even begin? This move has tested us. We’ve been in the new Florida house for about two weeks now, and we finally own it! To fully understand how excited we were to get those keys, we’ve got to back up and explain the timeline. We were supposed to close on…
Our Home Projects
New house tour
Remember how before we left Louisiana, we said that every move we’ve done has been dramatic in some way, and we wondered what this one would bring? Well this last week has beaten down our souls, and if you follow along on our Instagram you’d have seen a little bit about it, but because it’s…
Shop our home
It’s moving week! We’ve got (almost) all of the house packed, we’ve got our Uhaul booked, all our closing documents ready, and… a hurricane headed right for us tomorrow. IT’S FINE. In our six years together, Alex and I have moved to four states and the process of moving itself has been dramatic just about…
How we designed our small (but functional) kitchen
The kitchen. The heart of the home, where memories are made. The problem when we moved into our house, though, is that the memories were of trying to find a place to put our cutlery and not, like, baking Christmas cookies. It was tiny, dark and non-functional. There was an entire wall that only had…
DIY wrapped porch columns
As a parent, there are certain things you say you’ll never do, like get your hair cut in the I-want-to-talk-to-your-manager style or start telling your younger, childless friends that they don’t even know what it’s like to be really tired. Well, Alex looked fatherhood in the eye and decided he was going to go all…
House paint color roundup: The colors used throughout our home
Finding the right paint color is so hard. I have spent hours looking on Pinterest, clicking through paint companies’ online color swatches and even holding the physical paint chips from the hardware store up against my own wall before deciding on one. I’ll go to the paint counter, so confident in my pick of one…
DIY floating shelves
The thing I would say I struggle with the most in DIY is wanting to do everything all at once. I’ll have an idea for a total room makeover and want to do every element right away, multiplied by however many rooms we have in our house. But if these DIY floating shelves taught me…
We’re moving!
Yep, only 14 months after we moved into our cute little yellow house, she’s on the market again. In typical us fashion, the time between when we made the decision to sell and start looking at other homes and when it actually went on the market was about three weeks. We don’t mess around. The…
How to paint your bathtub and shower like a pro
I can’t imagine a time when someone looked at marbled beige fiberglass and was like ‘OMG how GOOD would this look in our shower?!’ but I guess that happened back in the 50s when our house was built. It’s kind of funny to think that someday our grandchildrens’ generation will walk through older homes and…
Our cute, organized nursery closet makeover
It’s kind of amazing how many times you can say ‘fuck’ while working to create a sweet, whimsical little room for an innocent baby girl. But this nursery closet really taught me a few things. I set out trying to make this little cave more functional because it seemed fine when I was pregnant to…
