Give me a stinking break. Here they are BEFORE: And again, NOW: We immediately fell in love with the pair and swiped them up from an estate sale awhile back. Not only did they had KILLER legs, but its hard to find Read More

let there be light!

by Sarah In House Projects

In the spirit of a New Year, I thought I would have new light! I don’t know what that means. BUT. Your gonna love this anyway. My gift from Nathan’s mom was this new dining room chandelier. Sounds boring? IT IS AWESOME. I am a little embarrassed to show you the “before” photo…mainly because our last fixture had so much dust on it, the globes look brown. You’ll get over it though. Here is the BEFORE NOW: BAM. There are Read More

workshop update {a lot of white}

by Sarah In 508 UpdatesTags: ,

Since the last update….the walls are up and some of the windows in and framed. Keep in mind all the wood is cut from trees on Nathan’s family’s property and sawed by Nathan and his brothers/dad on their sawmill. Like 1594 style. Like awesome. I say all this because the whole building is very “rough cut” look. And will stay that way. I might not even paint it. WAIT. I PAINT EVERYTHING. But I won’t paint it anytime soon. OH. Read More

Happpened upon PIET HEIN EEK (via d*s) the other day…. He has created some beautiful SCRAPWOOD WALLPAPER…isn’t this stuff GREAT?! I wouldn’t mind having an accent wall out of this stuff to photograph our furniture pieces for 508. I have to admit…the “TORRENCE” in me first thought…”I can totally make a REAL scrapwood wall”… But after a hot second, I was like “OH WAIT…I have 36 thousand other projects on my plate already…so maybe wallpaper is nice” But its kinda Read More

My dear friends at Kellan did a FANTASTICALLY FUN shoot of Nathan and I a few weeks back…showcasing our furniture and some fun shots of just us. They just posted the entire shoot on HERE…so check it out!! And let me tell you. After an entire morning of snot, poop, puke, crying and time-outs (which don’t work btw)….it is REALLY REALLY REALLY nice to remember that if we shower and put clean clothes on, WE CAN BE PRESENTABLE PEOPLE/NORMAL TOO.
