Christmas is home!
After having John and Sherry from This Young House help me convince Eric that we needed a tree, he obliged and we went shopping today. It’s our first Christmas living together so we had NOTHING! It’s a bit of an expense this year, but it won’t be too bad the next ones, since we got [...]
We decided on the entry wall!
This Apartment Therapy Cure has made us more conscious about all the unfinished projects around the house, and the entryhall was a tough one for us. After much thinking we decided not to paint for now. It’d be a waste (in our frugal opinion) to cover perfectly good, clean and nice paint so soon. Maybe [...]
The plants in our lives
We’re very happy to anounce that we got our curtains back. We had them cut to size, and it took two months for the nice lady to finish them (because of some misunderstandings…) but they’re back. We’re very happy to hear that, because we really need them! Our home is extremely sunny, and here we [...]
Window treatment lazy lazy
We’re lazy… yes, we are. And sometimes we just say we don’t like stressing over things, we like saying that we take it easy… but sometimes it’s just plain laziness. And here’s an example.
It’s been 3 months and a week since we moved in here, 2 months and a half since we got our bed, [...]
The work in progress in our apartment
Over at the Lazy Organizer Lara Gallagher is asking for help with a decorative touch in her Talk About Tuesday. And we are doing so too. We’ve been thinking for a while about what to do with our “entry hall” and we’re pretty sure we want to do something with paint.
Since our walls are actually [...]
Our home
Well, this blog started as a place to share our discoveries and thoughts as we became a little family. So we think it’s about time you get to know our home.
We live in a small apartment, rented, right in front of our old campus. Here you have the view from our bedroom:
First, it all started [...]
Bargains around our home
Of course, of course, we know that any DIY project is cheaper than buying anything new (and more eco friendly!) but when we were forced to get almost everything we own from Ikea (more on why and how in future posts) we felt we needed a few nice things to change the looks a bit. [...]
Should a home look like a museum?
Well, the obvious answer is no. But can we all say that we’ve never aspired to it?
A while ago I saw a house tour in Apartment Therapy that I really liked. It was Greg and Laura’s bungalow and it was a really nice place. But the thing I liked most about it was its functionality. As [...]
Happy birthday, This Young House
A few months ago, when we decided we loved the apartment in which we now live, we were spending several hours a day browsing design blogs. And we found This Young House. And we fell in love with it. It’s been a great source of inspiration and even support, when everybody was telling us we [...]
