7 months ago, we threw our first sledgehammer through the wall. Less than 1 month after that, we packed our boxes, moved in, and really began the demolition – ripping up carpet, raising ceilings, pulling down studs and cursing the lathe behind every sheet of drywall. We (im)patiently worked around our contractors (for almost 4 […]

Todd Baxter Photography
The only problem with sharing Todd Baxter’s photography on this platform is that you can’t really see it. Because, you guys, you have to see it in person. (Luckily, this is happening, and we are so there.) We first came across his photography at last year’s Design Harvest, and it’s not an exaggeration to say […]
Fun with Bokeh
Rather than spend our whole weekend triple-checking our phones for missed calls on the one (nope; not a word), I thought it would be fun to work on a mini project that would keep our one-track minds off of the only thing we think about lately. And since we’re limbo-living – and because tweaking our […]
Anteaters, a Bison and a Cobra
While we continue this funny dance of limbo-living, we’ve had to make a few decisions on somewhat de-personalizing our very, very personal bathroom. Because as I’ve brought up recently, it’s the only room in our whole home with our faces – quite literally – plastered all over the walls. Naturally, our first step was to […]
Getting Fest-Ready
With the upcoming holiday season and a whole lot of Renegade on the brain, we’ve been busy, busy bees brainstorming, prepping and trying to maintain a sense of calm around this home. Because, you see, it’s this time of year that has us working longer hours on Pet Shop-y things – you know, like the […]
About That Art
After committing to a handful of tweaks for the living room, we were the most excited (and at the same time, perhaps the most undecided) about changing up our wall of shelves. After tossing around a few ideas – because at first, Scott was pretty set on keeping our former set-up – we finally agreed […]
Make Your Own Photo Ledge
Before we swapped the rug, shades and curtains and after we took down our photo ledges (luckily, they went on to a happier life after our building-wide yard sale), our living room was looking… sad. We think it was mostly due to that big, bare wall: Now when you look at that wall, you’ll see […]
Onward!
Our Onward! ship print (picked up during our whirlwind Parisian weekend at Les Puces) has been sitting on our kitchen counter top for weeks. We hadn’t so much as picked it up to wipe off the dust, let alone fix up the framing issues. So on Monday, I asked Scott if he could find a […]
The Donut Shop
Along with our living room tweaks will come some fresh, new art for the walls. We’ve had the same portraits and prints leaning on our shelves for the last few years, and (surprise, surprise) we’re itching for a shake up. We fell for these fun, quirky donuts at the Milwaukee Avenue Arts Festival, made with […]
Giveaway: Jess LC
This giveaway is no longer accepting entries. Thank you to everyone who participated! We’ve yet to get started on that console makeover (blue or yellow? blue? no, yellow?), although with any luck, we’ll solidify the color choice this weekend. We’ve been embracing our cherry wood for now (as we have for years!), but the real […]
