A few things

04.03.13

:: Pulls back the cobwebs ::

Hello? Is anyone still here? I was just trying to set a record for the longest blog break ever.  

Okay, not really. Just the usual. Life. Busy. Yada yada. 

★★★

Did you have a good Easter? We did! I’ll attempt to get some pictures up shortly for the grandfolk (and anyone else who thinks little boys in bow ties are just about the cutest things ever). 

★★★

We may have a fun little project coming up soon. Details to come.

I’ve scored some fun deals on a few art prints lately like this one:

The Beauty of Letterpress

The Beauty of Letterpress

For just $5, Neenah Paper will match your donation and send you this lovely print designed by Jennifer James of Two Paper Dolls. 100% of proceeds go directly to Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum to help offset the cost of their move ($250k – ouch!) I’d been eyeing the Hamilton Square print by Dan Elliot, but it sold out before I could pull the trigger. :(

Go forth and get one.

Let’s Go!

06.02.11

After we close on the house on Monday (yay!), we’ll be homeless (not so yay…). Rather than spend the money renting a tiny apartment for just a few months, we’ve decided to take advantage of our new mortgage-less freedom and spend the summer traveling.

If you’ve been following the blog for a while now, you know we haven’t started building yet. (And if you are new to the blog, welcome! You can read here and here to get yourself all caught up.) We’re hoping to start construction on the new house late summer / early fall. Over the next few months, we’ll be modifying our plans and engineering, applying for our variances and permits, finalizing bids, and closing on the construction loan. Should be an interesting experience doing all this on the road.

DIY Pop Art

03.28.11

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Stephanie Sabbe, she’s a southern belle transplanted to Boston where she runs her own design firm. I posted about her chevron wall here. Girl’s got mad DIY skills. Stephanie is expecting a baby boy very soon and has been sharing her nursery progress on her blog. The nursery is full of fantastic projects and she shares full instructions on each one. She even made her own crib sheets! My favorite is the pop art pictured above. You won’t believe how easy it is to make!
