On July 29, 2015 By Em D In Interior Projects

We have two verrrry long hallways in our house. No surprise that one is directly one floor above the other, but the one I’m tackling now is the recently painted downstairs back hall. Truth be …

Adventures in Dishwashing Detergent… (it’s not you, it’s me)

On July 6, 2015 By Em D In Interior Projects, Other, Uncategorized

I can be a little headstrong. I see those dishwashing detergent commercials and SMH when the family loads their pans and icky casserole dishes into the machine and pulls them out sparkling. Yeah, sure. I’d …

On May 12, 2015 By Em D In Interior Projects, Window Treatments

Hey, Honey…how are those window treatments coming? You would think I was deciding on a tatoo…not what kind of curtains to hang in the bedroom! I consider Band-aid Decor a quick fix, a small investment of …

Band-Aid Decor: MBR Windows

On May 7, 2015 By Em D In Interior Projects, Window Treatments

I have a tough time purchasing store-bought window treatments. Not that there aren’t great ready-made choices (now many even include interlining)…but as someone who loves to sew, I just don’t get the same satisfaction.  And… …

LOVE IT!

On May 5, 2015 By Em D In Interior Projects, Paint

After a few initial hems and haws from a couple of our kids (rarely fans of change), we’ve all decided we love the new paint. We’ve used a Benjamin Moore mix of Valspar’s Seine in the …

Jump in, the Water’s Fine

On April 23, 2015 By Em D In Interior Projects, Paint

After nearly a dozen “shades of grey” (no, not THAT Grey. I’m talking paint), we narrowed it down to three colors from the Valspar chips: Mink, the aforementioned Anonymous, and Seine. Our collection of color sample …

Whole House Decorating – Chaos Style

On April 22, 2015 By Em D In Interior Projects

If you’re looking for tutorial on how to decorate your whole house, you’re in the wrong place 🙂 Yes, I’m doing that…but not the way a “professional” would (for SURE!). We’ve torn it all up, …

Decisions, Decisions…

On April 20, 2015 By Em D In Interior Projects, Paint

So, it’s time to update the homestead even though our current colors are still somewhat, well, current. Hubs and I are both on board, still stinging from our move when we realized we’d become that …

Welcome, fellow kids!

Hi! I’m Em.

Let’s hang out while I DIY (and occasionally procrastinate) my way through home decor, gardening, and home improvement projects… or share a few thoughts on the topic du jour.

The nest is empty, but I live with Mr. D & D and two-and-a-half spoiled dogs in a house filled with visiting kiddos, lots of love, occasional bickering, and a little bit of...dust and dog hair.

KNOCK KNOCK

WHO'S THERE?

Me. Occasionally.

(With a story, a DIY project, or deets on the current shiny penny that has my attention.)
