Custom Cabinets: The Dramatic Conclusion
Let’s jump right into it, shall we? Last time we discussed our new custom cabinets: where they’re going, why we need them, how we put them together, and how we use them.

Is this thing on…?
So there’s been a good deal of radio silence here on the ol’ blog, not that I’m anticipating that anyone has been on the edge of their seats waiting for a post- but here’s a quick recap just in case. The Wolfpack is growing by one! We’re expecting our first, a boy- VERY SOON- and […]Read More »
Pack a Punch with a Simple Floating Canvas Frame
This week I FINALLY checked off a longstanding To-Do, and it was so great!

Ben is obsessed with horizontal fences. OBSESSED. When we first put an offer in on another home, it didn’t have a fence at all, and Ben was THRILLED by the chance for us to install our own horizontal fence.

Five on Friday: Volume 1
For your Friday, enjoy some of our favorite discoveries this week! Those Swedes have been cleverly tricking us all with their CGI Ikea catalogs!

Our new nightstands are complete, and I just LOVE them! (but, like, the appropriate amount for inanimate objects, obviously) Aside from the style they add to the room, they are the perfect scale for maximizing our space. It’s not a big room, and our bed frame is pretty visually heavy, so we had to find […]Read More »
