Some things happen easier than we expect them to. We don't know why, and we don't question it for fear of the universe's karmic retribution. Thursday night, as the man and I were eating a Giordano's pizza we brought home with us in February (not quite as good as the real, fresh thing, but still the ...
Mirror, Mirror, Pt 3
Wednesday morning, my banister was removed. It was not a pretty process. My handyman, John, and I sat and stared for a bit at the giant oak banisters, and the four-inch-thick spindles that were built right into the staircase. After a few moments that seemed like a lifetime, we shrugged, wished ...
The Houseiversary
It was a year ago today that this home became ours. 365 days since we downsized, became suburban, and began making a small, somewhat vanilla townhome our own.
Usually, on the first Houseiversary, as I've dubbed it, my clients receive a sweet note in the mail, containing sentiments about one's ...
Mirror, Mirror, Pt 2
(Did you miss part 1? Catch up here)
It only took me a couple of days or so of thinking to determine that our best course of action at this point was to use the impressive box that this stinking mirror was delivered in as a template. 180 pounds of reflective glass is hard to maneuver in so many ...
Mirror, Mirror, Pt 1

This morning, during one of my more-common-than-you-would-think 8am runs to Lowes, I happened to spot what I thought was my difficult to find Graham and Brown Darcy wallpaper in Pearl.
** our powder room **
Upon further inspection, however, I realized that this was instead Lowes' brand Allen and ...
Welcome Home
We have a new house!!
I wish I possessed the vocabulary to tell you all how incredibly happy we are in the new place! We've both popped out of bed earlier each day, felt more rested, had a chance to walk the dogs... It's going to jinx me to say it, I'm sure, but this is sheer bliss!
We're so ...
Those Who Cannot Do
If you've been keeping up with me at all, you're aware that our home has been on the market for a few weeks now. We finally feel like its time to start hunting the next project, er... Home... And I discovered just today that I am horrible- HORRIBLE- at shopping for a new home for myself.
While the ...
The End of an Era
Just under three and a half years ago, I bought an old home... A very old home, in fact, that had been abused, neglected, flooded, possibly on fire (according to one of the neighbors), and had every bit of the copper wiring and old iron water-pipes ripped out.
The week of my 26th birthday, Bryan ...
