Welcome to 2018, everyone! I hope you are staying warm. We seem to be having a mini ice storm in the Nashville area and it's supposed to snow, which means we'll have some kid-free time AND will have an excuse to sit in front of the fire (possibly with Air Disasters on from the Smithsonian Channel) with hot drinks and not feel bad about not going for walks. I actually do like going for walks, ... View Post
Modern Farmhouse Kitchen
Hi friends! I thought you might like to see what we're up to, design-wise, at the moment. We're remodeling a cute little 1978 kitchen (okay, maybe it wasn't that cute). But it originally belonged to Waylon Jennings (am I right, Jan?). It's the home's original kitchen but was shabbily rehabbed in the early 2000's in order to make it more palatable for buyers who like shabby rehabs. I mean, ... View Post

(By "our issue", I mean the issue that features our home and our kitty.)

Pantry Remodel with Open Shelves

There was one standard ... View Post
Master Bath Preview
As you guys know, we're in the middle of construction and deadlines and coffee and Redbull and mess. And we're tired. But we're almost to some really exciting things, including the launch of our new website (which you have been oh-so-patiently waiting for). Even though I need a little nap right now, I decided to take myself to coffee and write you an update. And Dave is taking a break by ... View Post
How We Spend Our Free Time
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
