On the Saturday before Easter, the hubby & I went to the Humane Society to look at puppies. We weren’t planning on getting one that day, but after holding a sweet pup in our arms, we decided definitely soon. We fell for one fluffy little girl in particular (you had me at lick). Cute attacks were plentiful. [...]

According to Martha, these are “18 go-with-everything, paint-anything, put-anywhere hues that will work in any room.” We used this palette as our inspiration, and, after a bit of deliberation, our final lineup is…(ahem): Living room & Bathroom: “Rope” (light grey.

Inspired by Martha Stewart, I decided to spring for a cream and grey color palette, with twinkly golds and silvers mixed in. My adorable hubby joel was quite taken aback to learn [...]
Joel and I decided to spend our Friday night painting accent walls in our apartment. We drove to Lowe’s, both pointed at the same color swatch (Filoli Majestic Oak), gathered the supplies, came home and got to work. We had been wanting to add a little bold touch to our place, and giving a nice [...]
Over Labor Day weekend, my fam came to Indy to hang out. It was a big Sullan/Thomas fest and much needed fun. Mom, in her usual sweeping nature of project-ing and leaving crafty trails wherever she goes, not only helped Joel’s mama Kathy with her landscaping/curb appeal, but also lent a little TLC to this [...]
