How to Make Your Own Lamp

July 10, 2014/ Michelle S

A few months back I asked Nate if he knew how to make a lamp. I had an idea. It was tax season so he told me "no". I stupidly believed him. (I should learn after almost 8 years of marriage.)

Funny story. When The Home Depot asks us if we'd be interested in partnering with them to build a lamp, Nate suddenly knows how to build a lamp. Weird.

Turns out even I can build a lamp. That's how easy this business is.

Nate and I built this darling lamp that has two very different looks. It's like the Jekyll and Hyde of lampdom. (That's a thing.) One is all industrial/Edison bulb chic. The other is a little more industrial/main stream chic. (Those are both things.)

Office Book Shelves

July 07, 2014/ Michelle S

Remember that office of ours that I've been working on since like 2008? Or was it this year? I can't remember it's been so long.

Back in February I painted the walls Thunder Gray (Sherwin Williams). I then removed the burlap that was on the back of the built-in shelves and painted that area Fawn Brindle (Sherwin Williams).

I finally got around to adding some books/tchotchkes and getting the place in order. (Side note: Nate and I can't say tchotchkes without following with Office Space quotes. It's a problem.)

4th of July Ideas

July 03, 2014/ Michelle S

Happy Thursday! Who's ready for a long holiday weekend? (If you're not in the United States, I apologize. I will sleep and eat extra for you. Like a good American. Super thoughtful, I am.)

Nate, Ike and I have relaxation and fun on the menu. We will do nothing productive. It will be amazing.

I thought I'd share a couple of quick last minute Independence day ideas.
