Hi!

Welcome to our blog!

This is me, I'm Heather

and this is my husband Donald

This year we bought our first home in beautiful northern California and are in the exciting, exhausting and seemingly endless stages of fixing it up.  He is a carpenter and I love interior design, so the possibilities seem endless!  

His creative process is methodical and calculating while mine is brash and fearless.  His finished work shows his craftsmanship and attention to detail, while mine is just, well finished - it's funny how the balance of our personalities naturally plays out in our projects!  

I've wanted to share some of our DIY projects on a blog but only in a way that it would add to the substance on the web, not the clutter.  

Something I don't want to add to the web is a shop - we create things because we love the process and we love the results.  It's fun coming home after work and investing our time and creativity in things that inspire & challenge us, that make our home special, that make unique gifts and that give us time together to learn and grow - the kinds of things that you can't buy at a store. 

So here it is, our blog of vetted projects.  Our bad ideas.  Our good ideas.  Someone else's good ideas that we tried to make.  Someone else's bad ideas that we wish we were warned about.  Probably some occasional pictures of our dog Laila because she is just so darn cute.  

I know right?

Everything on this blog is ours, and we want to encourage you to make it, and make it yours!
