Pretty Much Done

Well, it's been almost a year since we sold our furniture and began the process of piecing together a bedroom. It's very "regency hollywood hotel", and very cozy at that. The curtains have been key to pulling a lot of this off, to me. To find the perfect curtains with... Continue reading

In the Respondek home, we've started school (obviously), lost some teeth, had some good eats, and enjoyed great friends. Here's a tiny recap =) Here's... Continue reading

So, I've been organizing my kitchen cabinet to cabinet, drawers to pantry, top to bottom. I'd saved these tins from Maxell's instant coffee granules with the hopes to use them for other things. Well, I came across them today and even got to empty a few expired ones from the... Continue reading

Paint, Frames and Character

Well, there it is. Our primered only master bath. For 4 years, this was our bathroom. Honestly, I didn't care nearly as much as Les did. It was a lot of white but I love the look and feel of a bright bathroom. It was definitely lacking in fashion. Les... Continue reading
