The first images from Ikea’s high end collection, Stockholm, are already here. The products won’t hit the stores until April but I love seeing everything beforehand. Here are my favorite picks: I’m in love with this sideboard/credenza. I’m really into Mid-Century Modern lately and I think this is kind of that style. I read it’s… CONTINUE READING →
I’ve had one of those crappy, no-Internet cell phones since forever now. You know, one of those indestructible Nokia phones that whenever anyone sees it, they go, Oh, I used to have one of those years ago!! Emphasis on used to and years ago. Then they go on to tell me how great my phone… CONTINUE READING →
The living room has been constantly evolving since we moved in, and we still have a few things planned in there. I thought I’d show the look I was going for. ONE // Of course, first on the list are the barn doors for the passthrough. We’ll be finishing the trim this weekend so the… CONTINUE READING →
It snowed this weekend! Which is cool because it never snows here, but a bummer because we didn’t get to work on the trim for the passthrough, since we needed to use the saw outdoors in the patio. So the weekend was spent relaxing and preparing for this crazy week ahead. Unfortunately crazy week means… CONTINUE READING →
I didn’t mention it the other day, but Andoni injured his shoulder while playing soccer on Sunday, and he has to wear a sling for a few days. Luckily it was nothing serious and he’s much better now.

Amanda of Poppies and Ice-cream asked a few questions last Friday, so I thought I’d kick off the week with the answers and a new recipe. 1. Which is your favorite book? I don’t have a favorite one per se, but I really liked La Sombra del Viento (The Shadow of the Wind) when I… CONTINUE READING →

It does lack some of the features Photoshop has, but if… CONTINUE READING →
When we left off, the pass-through was looking like this: The actual window was done, but as you can see, we had a lot of rewiring to do before we could frame it out. Seven wires ran down the middle of the hole. Seven! Each one inside its own tube. Two of those were electrical… CONTINUE READING →
Most schools have today and tomorrow off for Mardi Gras, which means that Andoni has a couple of extra free days to work on the pass through project. We worked on it over the weekend and I’m happy to say the rewiring is done, so he’ll we patching things up before we move on and… CONTINUE READING →
