Thursday, May 28, 2009. Time For A New Coffee Table. It is POURING with rain. So much for spending time at the pool this week! This is actually good, because I am still sunburned from our summer kick-off marathon pool session on Saturday! The new table will magically reveal itself to me! Pros of the Faux-guchi:. I like that ...

The house at the corner. Our attempts to whip the house at the corner into shape, while trying to be as sustainable as possible. Everything from gardening to DIY and interior design. Friday, July 15, 2011. Last year, we tried growing some veg in pots. A combination of forgetting to water, weeds and dastardly (but adorable! Little chipmunks made for not a great harvest. This year, we decided it was time to build a raised bed. After much googling and indecision about what to use (cedar/trex? I was aiming f...

Thursday, July 9, 2009. Thanks for the memories. So the month of June has passed without a new post, due to my sheer laziness. Many things have happened since my last post. We had several house guests at THATC, my 25th birthday occurred, and just before that, Michael Jackson died. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, October 12, 2009. It's Finally Safe To Leave The House. By the back door! We basically avoided using them as much as possible, and prayed that no one would get severely injured on them before we had a chance to fix them. After a trip to HD and Lowes, we found the stand. Out came the skilsaw, jigsaw and drill. We ...

Thursday, June 2, 2011. As promised, here are the 'after' shots from our planting adventures. Although I like to think I'm a 'gardener', the truth is that I pick a plant I think is pretty, read the label (sun/shade), and jam it in the ground in the hope it will like its new home and stay alive. The once sad and lonely evergr...

Tuesday, February 9, 2010. I previously posted some hideous 'before' photos of the kitchen when we moved in. It was not only horrible, but also unusable. It was filthy, the tap sprayed water everywhere, and the dishwasher just grunted. Excuse the mess - I didn't clean up to photograph! Tips for cleaning: host a party! The re...

Thursday, June 2, 2011. The 2 years we have lived here, the foundation plantings have been pretty neglected. With so much work to do in the house, expensive planting just wasn't going to happen.
