BUILDING INDUSTRIAL SHELVES FOR OUR HALF BATH

Posted on November 14, 2019July 7, 2020 by Megan

When we purchased our home, a few pieces were left behind by the previous owners such as a pink teepee, fuzzy bathmats, and landscape blocks. We have gotten rid of most things (i.e. everything listed above), except for this contemporary glam round mirror in our half bathroom downstairs. The half bath has looked exactly like…

DIY LANDSCAPE RETAINING WALL: OUR TOUGHEST PROJECT

Posted on November 12, 2019July 7, 2020 by Megan

Every DIY project has a point at which the DIY-er thinks to him/herself, “Why?” During this 2 year long landscape retaining wall project, we questioned our abilities and our sanity on a biannual basis. We would like to share with you our journey to completed, functional, and hopefully eternal, landscape retaining walls. Buckle up, guys….

SPRAY PAINTING OUR WICKER PATIO CHAIRS

Posted on August 19, 2019July 7, 2020 by Megan

As we ventured into our front porch renovation, we decided our white wicker patio chairs and a table needed a little love. The set was handed down to us from Tyler’s family and hasn’t gotten much use (partially thanks to the wasps living behind our porch shutters). We decided to pick up some spray paint…

FIXING SAGGY COUCH CUSHIONS

Posted on August 12, 2019July 7, 2020 by Megan

Our family room couch predates our marriage and has been well loved for many years. She has moved with us from our first one bedroom apartment, to a two bedroom apartment, and finally to our current house. This past year and a half has been, by far, her most brutal year. From baby spit up…

STRING TRIMMER TUNE-UP

Posted on August 7, 2019July 7, 2020 by Tyler

Due to spending the majority of our evenings working on wrapping up our flowerbed retaining wall, I’d let our yard get a bit out of hand. Finally, before the weeds completely swallowed the driveway, I broke out the mower and the trimmer and got to work. Halfway through edging the driveway, my string trimmer sputtered…

WEEKEND IN WASHINGTON, MISSOURI

Posted on August 5, 2019July 20, 2020 by Megan

Weekends at our house are usually spent working outside, trying to keep the weeds from taking over. But for the first time since C was born, we decided to take a little weekend getaway to Washington, MO. Missouri is chock full of cute, historic river towns and we’re suckers for old homes and quirky museums!…

DIY RETAINING WALL UPDATE

Posted on August 2, 2019July 7, 2020 by Megan

We have made a huge amount of progress on our DIY retaining wall project this week and wanted to share a fun before and after! Thanks to a rototiller borrowed from my dad, we were able to break up the weeds and rocks that were slowing us down. We also found an old bush stump,…

RETAINING WALLS (WE’RE ALMOST THERE!)

Posted on July 31, 2019July 7, 2020 by Megan

TWO YEARS. Two yearssss, we’ve been working on retaining walls. We’ve hit snags, changing seasons, pregnancies, and more. Recently, we ordered cap stones, a few more blocks, some dirt, and one inch clean gravel. We’ve had so much rain lately (with record flooding in some areas) and intense heat that we haven’t had a chance…

BUILDING A SHELF FOR MY PLANTS

Posted on July 29, 2019July 7, 2020 by Megan

Maybe it’s my 30’s approaching, or maybe it’s just a phase, but this year I decided I love houseplants. For Mother’s Day, Tyler and C took me to Home Depot and I picked out a snake plant. Then I found a couple golden pothos… A few succulents and a yucca cane. Now I feel compelled…

Peering behind porch shutter to see wasp nests

REMOVING OUR PORCH SHUTTERS (FT. WASPS)

Posted on July 23, 2019July 7, 2020 by Megan

There has always been a bit of a wasp problem on our porch, which is one of the reasons why we don’t spend much time out there. We’ve seen wasps casually fly in and out between the slats of our porch shutters, but other than occasionally spraying, we’ve never done much to manage the problem….
