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!

Bear of Few Words

How cute is this print? If you look closely, it’s made up almost entirely of the word “bear”. I want one for the nursery. I’m not sure what shipping would end up costing me, but the price for the print is only £10.00. Available here.
