Our Future Home
Jake and I have already decided that eventually we will move away from LA. We had extremely similar childhoods filled with big backyards, puppy dogs, and all the wonderful things that come with the changing of seasons (particularly snow). We are sentimental about those things and we want our children to be able to enjoy and experience the same things we did. We …
Photo of the Week: Goodbye Pillow
Ever since I can remember I’ve had a thing for pillows. No, not the kind of “thing” where you like big puffy pillows by the dozen. I prefer a lack of pillow to be honest. I love them flat and cold. When I was younger I would dream of sticking my pillow in the freezer, but every time I was tempted, I’d remember my mom probably …

Finders Keepers: Hand Knitted Nest

Best of all, they are fair trade. Women from Napal hand knit these with wool from New Zealand and they then are …
Morning Brew: Succulents
As much as I hate to admit this, I believe my little herb garden is officially dead. I tried my best and I thought I was doing really well, but I lost the poor things. I’m really disappointed. I really like have plants around the apartment. It adds a nice lively touch. I think I’m going to replace the herbs …

I’m definitely making these sometime. They would be a perfect present for kids, Hmmm, 3 nieces and 2 nephews, I think that’s a good excuse don’t you?
DIY: Midwest Modern Buck
Do you remember those 3D wooden animal puzzles? They were mostly dinosaurs, but I loved them. Well our new decor addition is a large deer head version just like those puzzles. I’ve seen these faux taxidermy deer heads a few places, but they are a little pricey. Instead I found a tutorial over at Chronicle Books that had a template. Theirs was smaller than …
DIY Faux Porcelain
I love Porcelain. It’s clean, simple, and chic. For wedding presents we got a lot of porcelain kitchen items: a butter dish, gravy boat, and my forever favorite elephant tea pot (from my sister). Last weekend we were shopping at Ross (which we do quite often since it is in walking distance from our apartment) and I came across a porcelain rhinoceros. It was love at first sight. We …
