We almost have a bedroom.
The floors are in, the walls and ceiling have been painted, and the trim has been painted (but needs one more coat). We’re putting in the baseboard tonight, and then assembling and installing my wardrobe tomorrow.
My hands and wrists hurt, but soon we will have a bedroom again.
Sleeping in the Hallway.
Yeah! Sleeping in the hallway is awesome! Oh, wait… no it’s not. It’s weird and awkward!
Sorry for the unmade bed, but seriously… why bother? We’re putting in our floors this weekend, so we will soon have a nice bedroom.
Also, you may remember that I had posted about wanting the above bed […]
Library Alcove
For the last three days, I’ve looked pretty much like this:

I’m still trying to figure out what to do for the lighting in the kitchen. There will be two halogen bulbs in the range hood over the stove, and we’ll have a light over the sink. There are also two windows and a door, so we get lots of natural light during the […]
Bamboo Snafu
Ugh. Our flooring came in, so Brandon and I went to Lowes to pick it up. Twas the wrong type of floor.
When we ordered it, we asked plenty of questions about installation (noting that we were going to do it ourselves), and we knew that we wanted to do a floating installation. […]
Studying the studio
When I started my business (Pink Loves Brown), I used a second bedroom in the apartment we were renting as my studio. Soon work spilled out into the rest of our home, and areas like the dining room table became the shipping center. After two years, I had finally rented a separate studio […]
We choose you, bamboo.
A decision has been made about the bedroom floor! Brandon and I went to Lowes last night and we chose solid bamboo in a very dark brown. Hooray! We ordered enough for the bedroom and for the studio, so no more yucky carpet for us!
Butterflies in my Stomach
Hrmmm… What do you all think about this?
I was at Paper Source today, and I just happened to see those buterflies. So I thought: “Oh! I can frame them in little shadowboxes and hang them down the hallway!” I bought that textured yellow paper, and I can pick up some white shadowboxes […]
