diy gift tags - homestilo
http://www.homestilo.com/2012/12/11725
December 13, 2012. Middot; 10 Comments. I told you last week that I would be sharing a super simple gift tag diy with you. Now, just as with holiday greeting cards. I will give a full disclaimer and tell you that I usually buy these pre-made. But, and again as with the cards, every once in a while you miss one or you just want something a bit more personable. Select your background paper. Draw an outline of your tag for cutting. Cut background first then foreground paper in same shape but smaller size.

http://itssosuburban.com/2012/01/02/12_for_12/index.html
It's So Suburban. 12 For ’12. January 2, 2012. While this is first and foremost a home improvement blog, I do like to share some more personal bits with you on occasion, and I hope you’ll indulge me this once. I’ve never been very successful with New Year’s Resolutions, so I took a cue from some other bloggers this year and made a list of 12 things I’d like to accomplish in 2012:. Finalize our estate plan. Book our family trip to Europe:. Sell the Jeep and buy a Volkswagen:. Of course, it’s going t...

Et Tu, Target? - It's So Suburban
http://itssosuburban.com/2012/10/14/et_tu_target/index.html
It's So Suburban. Et Tu, Target? October 14, 2012. A few weeks ago, we discussed my theory. That Pottery Barn Kids found their Halloween costume ideas by perusing Pinterest. This week, more than a few people have noticed the similarity between some independent artists’ work and items carried at our beloved Target. First up is the “Hello” Tray. From Target’s Timeless home decor collection, which bears a striking resemblance to Rifle Paper Co.’s ‘Hello’ Conversation Card. So, what’s the deal, Target? So wh...

It's So Suburban. Welcome to Our Unwelcoming Back Yard. August 2, 2012. I’d like to introduce you to a place you’ve probably never seen before on the blog:. Actually, that’s what it looked like back in April when I started thinking about writing this post (. Four months and a drought later, our yard actually looks more like this:. But let’s just suspend that truth for a moment, shall we? When I have the time, and it’s under 100 degrees, I’ve been going out and re-staining the deck for about a...Because h...

Thoughts on the Olympics, and Wondering Whether I Need a TV in the Bedroom - It's So Suburban
http://itssosuburban.com/2012/07/31/thoughts_on_the_olympics_and_wondering_whether_i_need_a_tv_in_the_bedroom/index.html
It's So Suburban. Thoughts on the Olympics, and Wondering Whether I Need a TV in the Bedroom. July 31, 2012. Today I tried to not see any Olympics results so I could watch them pretend-live on TV tonight. Well, by 1 pm, I had failed, after incorrectly assuming that NBCNews.com wouldn’t have any spoilers (since, you know, the games. But don’t worry, I won’t spoil it for you. Although, seeing as how you’re here, on the Internet, you probably already know. Or are following all of CNN’s tips. Yeah, I am watc...

It's So Suburban. Pottery Barn Halloween Costumes Straight from Pinterest? September 25, 2012. I’ve been absent from the blog while I’m working on some other goals (along with the ever-slow-going progress on the house), so I’m just going to post whenever and pretend like I’ve never been away. OK? So, what’s on my mind tonight, you ask? That’s one of the new costumes from this year’s Pottery Barn Halloween collection. Reminds me a little bit of this oft- pinned. Version made by an Etsy seller, no? Declari...

Excited About IKEA
http://itssosuburban.com/2012/10/10/excited_about_ikea/index.html
It's So Suburban. October 10, 2012. Kansas City has been buzzing these past two weeks with the biggest news in, oh, EVER. That’s right. IKEA is coming to town. And in my little bubble of a world, this easily beats out the other recent great things Kansas City has had going for it: The All-Star Game. And The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. I’ve never been to IKEA, and now, 11 years after first laying eyes on a catalog, I’m going to have the chance! I am floating the idea of renting a van and head...

The kitchen has been painted! | Door Sixteen
http://www.doorsixteen.com/2013/01/28/the-kitchen-has-been-painted
HOUSE: New Mexico #2. HOUSE: New Mexico #1. I Love the Internet. K IS FOR BLACK shop. The kitchen has been painted! January 28, 2013. I painted the kitchen this weekend, and yes, I got just as bold and crazy with my color choice as you’d expect: GRAY. Valspar’s Filtered Shade, to be specific, in a matte finish. I had almost a whole gallon of it in the basement left over from when I painted the inside of a closet. Four years ago, so I figured why not give it a shot? I’m really happy with the levels ...
