I wanted to thank you all earlier, but I was waiting until I heard from Better Homes & Gardens…

Up for the Challenge: The End
Today is the last day to vote in the 48-Hour Challenge. The timing of the challenge was a bit crazy (coinciding with my ninth month of pregnancy), but Brandon and I took it on and we’re so proud to have been a part of it. Thank you to Better Homes and Gardens for [...]
Up for the Challenge: Part Five
My last post for the Better Homes & Gardens 48-Hour Challenge went up today, and it’s all about how we’ve been enjoying our front porch since it’s completion. I have to say, we’ve been enjoying it very much. :)
Murray likes to spend time out front with us too.
Several neighbors have dropped by to [...]
Chicago Tribune: “The Home Page”
What a nice Mother’s Day surprise… I’m in the Chicago Tribune Magazine today! I even got a mention on the cover, right below Simon Doonan.
Thank you, Chicago Tribune, and thank you Lisa Cregan (who interviewed me for the article waaay back in December). I’m honored!

Up for the Challenge: Part Four
It wasn’t easy, but we’ve finished the front porch for the Better Homes & Gardens 48-Hour Challenge! The whole project was completed for $500, using materials exclusively from The Home Depot.
Painting the porch rug freehand while very pregnant was a little harder than I expected, but I’m beyond thrilled with the way it turned [...]
Up for the Challenge: Part Three
In my third post for Better Homes & Gardens’ 48-Hour Challenge, I talk about how my plans for the front porch quickly changed when we went to buy our furniture.
When I first started planning our project, I had chosen two wicker chairs, a metal table, and a wooden glider. I had even created a [...]
Up for the Challenge: Part Two
My second post for the 48-Hour Challenge is up! This week I described the planning process and talked a bit about what we’re going to do on the front porch.
Check it out!
Up for the Challenge
And what a challenge it will be… I can barely waddle down the stairs these days. Still, even with a baby that’s due in nine days (yikes!), Brandon and I are always up for a good project. That’s why we’re thrilled to be participating in the Better Homes & Gardens’ 48-Hour Challenge!
We asked [...]
ReadyMade: Mod Science
Pink Loves Brown’s Periodic Table of Sentiments are featured in the April/May 2009 issue of ReadyMade!
Very exciting, but unfortunately not the best timing for me! I’ll be closing up the shop temporarily for my maternity leave, starting on Monday, April 6. You can still place orders right now though, and don’t forget — [...]
