When we first moved to our Cincinnati house we joked about having a formal living room. I associate them with furniture you can’t sit on, carpet you can’t walk on, and floral patterns that hurt your eyes. So instead of putting any thought into our formal living room, we just dropped our basement furniture and…
I haven’t done a Currently Post since February! Time to discuss a few recent favorites and one very exciting development.
I struggled to come up a topic to write about this week! Nothing “big” is happening right now, but I have been hiding things all around the house! In the spirit of hiding things- I had to hide my nose the other day when I ran in 10-degree weather! 🙂
I kept seeing black interior doors and loving how they add so much depth to a room. With all our walls being Sherwin Williams Alabaster and white doors, I figured we could stomach some color- if you consider Benjamin Moore Onyx a color.
Even though it’s been in the 80s and 90% humidity in Cincinnati lately and I still have fresh hydrangeas in vases, I still pulled out some fall decor.
Remember back in Februrary when we got several new jute rugs? At first we loved it! It looked great, the surface was great for Sophie’s constantly running and jumping, and brought some texture into the room. Then it started to shed, and shed and shed…
Completing a race, no matter what the mileage, is an always an accomplishment! I hear  and say “it was just [insert miles]” way too often! Why don’t we give ourselves more credit? That’s why when I started researching medal holders, I landed on the “Celebrate Every Mile” motto.
We got this great canvas print of us and our goddaughter Claire earlier this year. I LOVE it! But I was having problems figuring out where to hang it. We moved it around the house to several locations, but none felt “right”. Then I decided to make a “family wall” with four canvas prints of…
I like to think Nolan and I are pretty handy and can fix/build things instead of hiring a contractor. (See our previous house’s hallway board and batten, scraping a popcorn ceiling and switching out outlets and switches for evidence.) Buuuut, when our crawlspace had water in it after Ohio’s worst flood since 1997, we called the pros…
The I-could-make-that bug bit me too, but for me it was a DIY be our guest sign. With my friend’s help and mostly materials I already had, it turned out to be a pretty inexpensive art project!
