Finished Kitchen
Hello there! Did you know that our kitchen is finished? Yes – I finally taught myself how to sew, which meant I could finally make shades and finish the project!
Here’s a quick reminder of what it looked like before:
It’s just a wee bit different now.
Just about everything is new. We kept the […]
Philadelphia Style, October 2007
Hooray! My Pink Loves Brown framed silhouette prints are in the October 2007 issue of Philadelphia Style!
I absolutely adore them, so it always makes me happy when others are drawn to them too.
Thank you, Philadelphia Style!
Much Fun Was Had
…and many drinks were consumed.
Thank you to everyone that came to our housewarming party, and for braving the aftermath of the Chicago area storm! Hopefully power returned to your homes quickly!
I Bought Wallpaper

The wall opposite the desk has […]
A Good Mail Day
Two packages arrived today – my teatowels from Skinny Laminx, and a surprise gift from my friend Lili (she’s just the sweetest)!
Handmade goodies can brighten anyone’s day, even when it’s been gloomy and rainy for nearly a week (as it has been in Chicago). Have you seen the flickr group “Good Mail Days”? […]
Painting the Stairway
Brandon started priming the knotty pine in the stairway last night.
My dad was horrified when we said we planned to paint it. “That’s nice wood!” Sorry dad.
We actually found out from our neighbor that the previous owners had only recently put it up when they decided to sell! The addition was done […]
Hello there! Thanks for visiting my blog.
