entryway light | planter + plant | media console | vintage wood cactus (similar) Our entryway has taken every bit of 5 years to get to this point. (And hey, we’re actually celebrating 5 years of living in this house this July!) Over that period of time, we’ve talked about the journey extensively; this is where we started (whoa), this is when […]

A Quick + Easy Mirror Makeover Using Rub ‘N Buff
With all the muchlargerprojects on our plate as of late, it is extremely satisfying to check off a quick, (way) less-than-one-hour job. You saw in our closet plans that we’ll be hanging a mirror above the changing table, and being the vintage mirror hoarders that we are, we had plenty to choose from! For a hot second, […]
Three Things from the Warehouse, Take 2
Last December, we scored the infamous Milo chair at a big warehouse sale (by the way, we finally ordered fabric for the chair, and we veered completely off course; go figure!), and over the weekend, the sale was back! It was being held in the same warehouse, but it was even bigger – if that’s […]
Flea Find to Reclaimed Wood Mirror
This post has been updated! Find the full tutorial + a mirror round-up right here. A long, long, time ago, Scott and I almost left the flea market empty handed – can you believe it? As vendors began packing up their booths and in turn, we began our walk back to the car, an eager […]
4 Things From the Weekend
Over the weekend, we met with our contractor to finalize details and plan for the near future – aka, when can we expect to get a ceiling over our heads? The great news is that they’re working on it right now, as another job on their schedule had to take a backseat for a few […]
Full Length
Aside from a $9 Target mirror I scrimped for in college (which was unfortunately dubbed a fat mirror; you know the kind), I’ve never owned a legitimate full length mirror. This realization is usually met in (mock) horror by my girlfriends, which I’ve never understood until last night. After an Ikea day last week, Scott […]
Reflecting Change
You may remember our venture through the Vintage Bazaar last year, where we came across this mirror (among a few other items, including my childhood turtle; word): And then the last time we scoured the flea while visiting family in Cincinnati, we found this guy. Okay, Scott actually found the mirror (while I was still […]
Weekends, Fleas, and Another Mirror.
Over the weekend, we took a quick break from Chicago, packed up the wagon, and squeezed in time to visit friends and family in the Queen City… … and we bought another mirror at the Kellogg Flea. Our collection has unintentionally grown from one to two to three in the office, since that’s where this […]
Eve’s Fancy Sunshine
As if we needed further proof that a can of paint can inject a whole lotta fun into the norm, we received this email from Eve. It made us very happy. And not just because we’re totally flattered that she gained inspiration from us (crazy), but because it works both ways. Her grey on yellow […]
Bathroom Redo: Egg Yolks
A few weekends ago, the hubs and I were feeling a little crafty, so we decided to whip up a weekend-bathroom project we’d been talking about (and neglecting) for a while. Our intentions were to tone down those bright blue walls, but still keep it fun. Originally inspired by this LA salon bathroom (because nothing […]
