House & Home

For as long as I can remember my mom has always been a gardener. When I was very young and my parents were still married, they had a large vegetable garden. I remember picking the peas right off the plants and eating them. The smell of fresh carrots, straight out of the ground, the way…

I’ve been busy. Life has sort of taken me by storm. In the midst of it all, while trying to do some simple painting in our hall bathroom, I noticed a small little thing…the vanity was rotting. Like crumbles when you touch it rotting. Then I noticed the vinyl tile, it was coming up around…

There are just a few things that I am pretty obsessed with…Martha Stewart, Shoes, Design, Humorous Moments of Life, the few things I’m probably forgetting, and color. I wrote my senior thesis paper on color and its effects on advertising. It was fascinating really, and, it was beautiful. Because its color. And I often think…

The weekend…well last week, has been spent working on the house. We’ve been patching walls, painting, updating hardware, and building new furniture. A friend even trash picked the perfect coffee table which I have major plans for. Here is my loving husband doing one of his favorite things, putting things together. He told me that…

So, while driving in my little 240 Volvo on my way home from work I’m listening to the radio, sort of tuned out because they’re on a five minute stream of commercials but two small words jump out at me and register in the conscious part of my brain…Martha Stewart. She has a line of carpet.…

Today, while flipping through Martha Stewart Magazine I saw an ad…Martha Stewart Pets. Then I went here. And its true, the mighty Martha has now developed a pet line. I don’t know why I didn’t see it coming. I checked out all of the items, most of them are for small dogs, which only furthers…

Bill and I have been hard at work today, we did the lawn (he mowed while I edged), cleaned the house, painted my office, put everything back in my office, went through an incredible amount of paperwork that needed to be filed, and we did laundry. Be impressed. But after painting and the weed eating…

The Office. Not the show. The place where I work. Though the show is quite awesome and I would really love a general “office” sign for my door. Anyways. Its the first room I’ve really focused on in the house. I have a general idea of what I want in the other rooms as far…

My birthdays, on the average, are synonymous with bad events. Usually there are high lights to the birthday week, but more often than not something super crappy happens that kind of brings down the overall celebratory mood. For times sake I will list both highlights and low lights in bullet form. Highlight #1: I was…

So there are these weird clear/white gecko lizard things that are here in Spring, Texas that we DO NOT have in the city of Houston. We have the green ones that change colors and have the red necks that puff out when they are trying to mate, I hear they are called Anoles. But these…
