The Master

The master bedroom. Otherwise known as the room that is always last on my list.We have lived in seven houses and I can honestly say that this room, my room, well Brian's also, never ever gets any attention! I don't know if it's because no one ever really see's it, so why bother?  Or maybe it's because I get up in the morning, make my bed and I don't go back in there until 10pm at night?Whatever...

Work Room

If you read my last post, you will know that it always takes me a while to figure out a house. Where is everything going to go, what rooms will we use for what purpose? When we moved in, I didn't have a work room and after a few months I realized that it just wasn't going to work with out one.So I rearranged a few rooms and although that meant that we lost a guest room (it turned in to our...

Room with an identity crisis

The front room of our house has an identity crises.It's not quit sure what it is and that is my fault.Is it a Dining Room?Is it a Living Room?It  doesn't really know, because I can't make up my mind about what I want it to be?!?When we first moved in, it was a dining room and it looked like this...but then I talked Brian in to doing a little board and batten trim work in here... (excuse...

Carpet to wood staircase

Family Room

When I was planning on how I wanted my new home to look, months before it was finished, I knew I wanted it light and bright in some areas, while keeping other parts of the house warm and cozy. The family room has a lot of windows which bring in a ton of natural light. I didn't want to darken the space at all so I went with light colored furniture.I seriously looked for months for the right sofa. First,...

Avery's big girl room reveal

When we moved in to our home I was beyond excited that I would be able to decorate my girl's rooms the way I had always wanted. When you are renting a home you usually don't have the option to create a space that is really yours. That is if you want your deposit back. Which we always seemed to lose anyway so in retrospect my new policy is do what you want..renting or not. Avery was a big influence...

Let's start from the beginning

I am writing this post fully aware that not many people will read it and honestly that is just fine. When I started blogging with Two Little Bugs Clothing the premise was to show people my clothes and tutorials and all the goings on of our daily life at 5335. But, like a lot of things in life the blog died. Years went by....we moved, we moved again, we welcomed another little bug in to the mix and the blog posts became, well, non existent.The...
