Oh Happy Day

August 22, 2017 By Holly Thompson 9 Comments

Hi guys!  I'll bet most of you already know this, but today is the official day that our issue of American Farmhouse Style magazine hit newsstands!  (By "our issue", I mean the issue that features our home and our kitty.) Apparently it hit a few places early, because I saw it at the grocery store a couple days ago and got mine in the mail last week.  But. Now it's officially here across the ... View Post

Magazine Photo Shoot, Part 1

May 23, 2017 By Holly Thompson 2 Comments

We are still settling back into normal life after our photo shoot with American Farmhouse Style magazine!  It sounds glamorous, but preparing to be in a magazine involves a lot of late nights spent dumping things you actually use into the garage. It also involves ungodly amounts of cleaning and tidying, plus asking kids not to use the couch/nice towels/table/bowl of fruit.  For all these reasons, ... View Post

Hi guys! I wasn't planning to post again until our new website is up and running, but I thought you might like a peek into what we're up to.  (Our new website is coming and this one will be down for a few days during the switch). It seems like we don't have a lot of free time, but that's not true.  We tend to have the hours between 8pm and 3am free, which is a good thing, because we've been ... View Post

Our bathroom rehab!

January 20, 2017 By Holly Thompson Leave a Comment

When we moved into our house, the upstairs hall bath (which was soon to be the toothpaste-encrusted kids' bath) was the least of our concerns.  It had an intriguing shell-sink made of swirly off-white cultured marble, a decent-sized cabinet under that, and a teeny-tiny cabinet from Kmart or somewhere hung above the toilet.  It had a sheet-vinyl floor that was oh-so-convenient for potty-related ...
