We've moved

Whether you are a long time follower or just found us through a search engine; welcome to our blog. Unfortunately this is our old blog. We've moved to a new self-hosted site to bring you all the details on the renovation of our new house. You can catch all the fun at Simply Swider.  Here's a preview of what you'll find there:

Our Fireplace Makeover

Lizzie's Aqua and Red Nursery

 

Our Greek Key Console and DIY Large Frames

Pallet and Burlap Frame

 

Reclaimed Wood Moose Head

 

Mint and Sisal Chandelier Makeover

The Nursery is complete!

Project Board for Nursey

Well here's our ideas for how the nursery will come together. The yellow wall color will be in horizontal stripes above a white wainscoting. So far we have everything but the pillow and lighting.
Canopy, Dresser, and Canvas: Ikea
Bedding: Dwell Studio Arabesque
Pillow: Pier 1
Chandelier: Pottery Barn Kids

Inspiration for the nursery

The nursery will be bright green and yellow with an organic theme. While we didn't go with any of these bedding sets, we used them as inspiration.

New Years in Washington D.C.

We spent New Year's Day 2009 as tourists in Washington D.C. this year. We didn't know it yet, but I was carrying the next Swider.

Possible Art for the Nursery

Here's some nautical artwork for our nautical inspired nursery. All pictures are from Ikea.
