I’ve gotten lots of emails asking for paint colors used in various rooms/ specific projects. And I’ve been so terrible about answering them. (I’m sorry!!) My first excuse is that when I don’t remember them off of the top of my head, I put off going down to where our paint is stored or opening a […]
June 28, 2010This past week, Fairfax County’s seniors, the Class of 2010, graduated. My husband, David, teaches English at our local high school, and was voted by the seniors to give the Commencement speech at the graduation ceremony. He was introduced at graduation as “hard & crunchy on the outside but soft & chewy in the middle.” The student speaker […]

We currently have no place to put it but are working on a gravel […]

I love using what we have to make the house feel good, and right now, we have some massive hosta leaves. My mom gave the plants to us last year […]

June 9, 2010It’s Monday already and time seems to just be flying by!! We had a perfect chill weekend – just what we needed and now I cannot wait until school’s out for the summer!!
