Because everyone loves a shindig: Wedding shower fun

May 3, 2011 By Katrina

Last weekend, my mom and I put together a bridal shower for Michelle, my best friend from high school who’s getting married this July. Woo hoo! Michelle and I have been friends since we were 12 years old, which, for two military kids who were used to moving around every three years, pretty much feels…

Whoa, baby: DIY lampshades

April 5, 2011 By Katrina

Last weekend, Jared and I skipped town and hopped over to Salt Lake City for a visit with our friends Daniel and Amber and their new baby boy. It was a great weekend trip. I brought home gobs of photos of the so-so-cute-you-can-hardly-believe-it little Levi, and poor Jared brought home a mean sunburn (courtesy of…

Allure of the purple chair

March 11, 2011 By Katrina

Jared and I have been slacking on our weekly Target dates lately. Perhaps we’ve been too busy or too distracted (ho hum, grown-up-ness), but it had been a while since we hit the ol’ bull’s-eye store for a scan of their latest knick-knacks. When our booming town of 100,000+ (it’s official, census readers! Woo hoo!)…

Valentine’s DIY: Glass etching

February 14, 2011 By Katrina

Happy Valentine’s Day! As Jared and I swim out (a.k.a. eat our way out) from under our sea of sugar and chocolate, I thought I’d share some festive DIYing to give my much-loved oven a bit of a respite. I put this together a while ago as a Valentine’s DIY for the latest issue of…

Sampling the local (art) fare

January 26, 2011 By Katrina

I’ve always been a pretty lucky duck when it comes to filling our walls with great art. My mom is an artist, and because she has more masterpieces than she has wall space at her house, she’s been kind enough to lend us lots of great pieces. After all, she says, the paintings are safer…

Behold the shoe tray: A DIY clutter-fixer

January 17, 2011 By Katrina

Remember a few weeks ago when I was complaining about the endless stream of cluttery nonsense that kept filling our entryway and driving me bananas? Well, Jared’s aunt read of my shoe-clutter woes and just last week passed along a genius nugget of info she snagged from Better Homes and Gardens online. It was a…

Favorite things: Target chair à la neutral

December 16, 2010 By Katrina

It’s probably no surprise to anyone that Target paraphernalia is a staple in our home. From chummy birds to throw rugs, curtain rods to furniture, we do so love a good Target find (particularly those we can snag on sale). Our Target obsession was actually a running joke with my little sister for a good…

I’m dreaming of a white (ceramic) Christmas

December 8, 2010 By Katrina

You can’t put a price on my love of white ceramic, but if you could, $4.99 sounds like a pretty sweet deal. During our last IKEA trip (I know, I know, I keep reliving my latest IKEA experience, but I’m hoping the trail of breadcrumbs ensures I’ll find my way back again), Jared and I…

Ornamentary, my dear Watson

November 30, 2010 By Katrina

Well, my trusty local radio station has returned to all Christmas, all day long, and that means it’s time I give our humble abode a solid dose of holiday cheer to go along with all those festive tunes. When it comes to decking our place for Christmas, I always start with the basics and build…

Silly Crate & Barrel

November 24, 2010 By Katrina

Remember those puzzles on the kids’ page of the Sunday newspaper that asked you to “find the differences between the two panels” or “what’s wrong with this picture?”  I loved that stuff (I also loved those egg-cellent egg jokes the Kansas City Star used to run; that’s some pretty priceless material if you asked me)….
