ME: *Dialing 311* 311: Hello, 311, how can we help you? ME: I’m getting comment spam on my blog. 311: Goodness!

Our New Midcentury Modern Door


Our front door is finally finished. We stained it to match the stairs and with that last coat of varnish it looks glorious. The first photo is a mid century ranch house around the corner from our house. I love this entry door and we decided to copy it for our front door.

Welcome to Bar Life

Which is a lot of ladybugs in an 830 square foot house. Now that we are back, so are the ladybugs, only in much higher numbers. They buzz the lights in the kitchen,...

Nailed


We've had to tell the kids to wear shoes outside the house. That they should look out for screws, staples, knife blades, saw blades, broken glass, staples, and rusty nails. We had a guy go over our whole yard with a magnet, twice. Each time filling buckets with these items. So yesterday 4yo walks in with this thing. I...
