We left sunny California behind in the middle of January so that Frank could begin at his new job up here in Seattle. All our things were packed up and were being trucked up to Seattle, leaving the three of us with 3 suitcases and ...

For some people, all they want for Christmas are two front teeth, or a hippopotamus, for others, it's an adventure. Put us in the last category. When we sold our house in the spring of (now) last year, we were intending to send th ...

We have some exciting news to share with you. Something which we have been planning for quite a while - ever since last year in fact - has come to fruition. Oh what could it be. See, now it's exciting for you too. Uhm. Frank and ...

Something big is happening on this site. And it is happening now. And later. I love organizing and I am not a big fan of clutter. And that was what I was seeing on my website. Clutter. So I took out my broom and swept. Then I sat ...

Before the year runs out, I want to revisit something that happened this fall while I was en Denmark. We had three rooms published in the new book by John and Sherry Petersik of Young House Love: Lovable, Livable Home. I say revi ...

For the price of the left side of this sofa (!) you could furnish a three bedroom apartment. Let's try that. This post was inspired by three things: two years ago I made an (unofficial) IKEA dream home + blogger style house with ...

Today I am guest hosting Thrift Score Thursday with Brynne from The Gathered Home and Trisha from Black and White Obsession. These lovely ladies are thrifting queens and they host a hashtag party every week on Instagram and Twi ...

You have arrived at my Blog Hop! Let me explain. I am pretty sure you are not interested in how I take my coffee (not a coffee drinker) or which song I sing along to on the radio (Bohemian Rhapsody gets me going every time), wh ...

What a month this has been. First up, let's take a look at all the things we did on the blog, then I will get to some other highlights of the month after that. Flamingo art made with Psykopaint - a free resource Thai curry cash ...

This drawing was the first thing I made after Ana and I decided to make over her living room together. She was at my Christmas party and had seen my laundry room make-over with the zig-zag wall and liked it. She is also a fan of ...

And there goes another month, putting us into the second half of the year. Here is what we did in June. Getting the patio ready for summer with our new firepit Patio lounge - new rug, pillows and forever succulent B's walk-in ...

The month of May was busy for us. We did a lot of work in the master bathroom and closet. This Wednesday the first round of solid surface white marble is going in. I am so excited! Here are some of the projects we tackled in Ma ...
