After our recent nook room baseboard update, we had a few questions regarding the actual installation, and after knocking out the trim in Kim’s workroom this weekend, we thought this was a great little room for our rundown. Prying up and re-doing baseboards might seem like a daunting task, but if you follow the old […]

The Studio Workroom
Not a single room in this house is finished – although let’s be real; it’s barely been 4 months since we’ve had completed drywall, so while nothing is complete, we’re all about the small victories! (Although raising the ceiling can be considered as a major victory, right?) At the very least, our evening downtime is […]
Pink!
We didn’t get to the foyer (or living room) baseboards this weekend – quite the opposite, actually – but we did cross off a pretty important to-do: the studio! Working from home every day, I’ve learned to put my blinders on; if I didn’t stare at the walls too long, I wouldn’t see the smudges […]
The Farmhouse Table: Stain and Finish
Admittedly, the finish on the farmhouse table – which will ultimately be used as my studio desk – took much longer than anticipated. A handful of road bumps (oh, we’ll get to that!), working around the contractors and shuffling the table from room to room (it was a total guessing game: where will be the […]
The Farmhouse Table: Deconstruct to Reconstruct
Over the weekend, Scott and I got to work on making our Craigslist farmhouse table a usable, working studio desk for this girl. For now, I’m still using the same small painting table, but word on the street is that the drywall work will be finished this week (or next, maybe?), and we can start […]
Office Cupcakes
I’ve told you before that being home most days can be a funny, strange thing. I’ve been slipping from my hot-red lipstick routine a bit (I blame an abnormally warm summer for this), but I’ll never stop getting a kick out of Jack’s peanut butter eating, lip-smacking silliness. Yes, I love being my own boss […]
Canning Paint
Working in such tight quarters with a few fuzzy co-workers, while fun (and yes, I talk to them all the time), can pose challenges in cleanliness. I like my studio fur-free, so we vacuum almost daily, and before punching out, I usually take a damp cloth to wipe everything down. The biggest challenge, however, are […]
The Studio
Oh, boy. This has been a long time coming, and there’s a good chance you already have a good feel for what the infamous stu-stu-studio looks like. You’ve seen one side when we finished grandma’s chair, and you’ve seen the other when we finished the shelves. Gah, you’ve even seen the third, lesser photographed wall […]
Venetian to Roman
It’s been a while since we’ve talked about the stu-stu-studio, and shame on us for never officially showing you the final outcome! Yes, you’ve seen one half of the room when we debuted grandma’s chair, and you saw the other side when we installed our shelves, but the room as a whole? (Crickets.) I kept […]
The Evolution of Grandma’s Chair
Last week, we showed a snippet of Grandma’s chair. Yes, it had come back from the upholsterer, but there were a few finishing touches until she was studio bound. Said touches were made over the weekend, and because we’ve been losing it (in a good way) since she came home, let’s skip the before and […]
