Tag Archives: DIY Since our house is a center hall colonial (the hallway/staircase is the first thing you see when you walk through the front door), it was important that this be one of the first projects we tackle. It seemed like a fairly simple one, but boy were we wrong! And as you can tell by the […]  When brainstorming for Valentine’s Day photo ideas, bunting flags instantly came to mind. They are all the rage in the world of photography props and it’s plain to see why. They are inexpensive and a great way to breathe a little fun to your photos. For this super simple DIY project, I used Valentine’s themes cardstock and mini wooden clips with red […]

Stop it right now with all that cuteness! I just can’t take it! ;) Great idea for the bunting! I’ve been thinking of using some old scrapbook paper to do the same thing.

That’s a really cute idea, you’re so good at this. And of course, the baby is adorale!  It’s been two months since we moved into the house and as expected, things are progressing slowly and surely. Upon moving, we were eager to begin the process of renovating immediately. But after jumping into the first project with little research, too many unplanned and costly trips to the Home Depot and a few tears of […]

Well, ya’ll look too cute in your “work” on the house projects. I think it will all mean so much more to you when finished, since you are doing it yourself. Way to go!!

MASSIVE project! Taking it one one thing at a time sounds like a good plan :) Good luck, and can’t wait to see the results!
January 10, 2012 - 7:19 am
One (baby) step at a time, right? I know how that works. Good luck guys!
January 10, 2012 - 7:51 am
Looks like a bit of fun and a whole lot of work! Glad to have you back blogging :)
January 10, 2012 - 8:07 am
Just keep telling yourself, if will be oh-so fabulous when it’s all said and done. I’ll look forward to seeing some of your projects here . . . who knows? Maybe it will inspire me to get a few things done! :)

From what I can see, you two have a BEAUTIFUL home! I’m a big fan of taking the time to live in a house before tackling too many overwhelming (and expensive) projects. We’ve lived in our home for about 7 years and although we are ready to move on, I love that it took us years of painting, replacing, and re-arranging areas to get to where we are today. We took our time and budgeted and I realized that you may think you know exactly what you want to do with a room, your tastes and needs will change.
January 10, 2012 - 8:55 am
One day at a time sounds like the perfect solution for your project, Maddy – especially if it leaves more time for blogging! :)
January 10, 2012 - 9:26 am
Ahh home improvement…what fun! I am the same way…I want it amazing immediately and way overwork myself. Try to enjoy it, and we missed you around here so don’t go too crazy! :-)
January 10, 2012 - 10:24 am
What an AWESOME feeling it will be to look around your finished house and think “We did that! And that! And that!…” So impressed!
January 10, 2012 - 10:44 am
Oh man, I know exactly where you are coming from. I have a hard time focusing on one project if I have a million going at once so I made it a habit, in the home décor arena, to focus on one manageable task at a time…just like you said. Congrats on having a space to make your own!
January 10, 2012 - 2:04 pm
Take a breather!!!! No need to rush:) moooooo-shaaaaa
January 10, 2012 - 2:51 pm
I know the feeling – but it will become so great in the end! :-)
January 10, 2012 - 3:01 pm
I would love to own a house and DIY, all younghouselove.com style. Good luck!
January 11, 2012 - 5:09 am
Kudos to you two for tackling it yourselves! I have a feeling that it’s going to turn out wonderfully. :)
January 11, 2012 - 11:56 am
Splitting it up into smaller manageable pieces seems like the much smarter idea. Thanks for sharing the photos and can’t wait to see each room’s transformation
January 11, 2012 - 2:45 pm
Right you are, Maddy. It’s your house which means there is no rush… and I think it looks very cosy already.

Wow, you make home rennovation look fun. But my sister has a fixer upper, I know better, lol. Happy House fixing!
