How many of you noticed that our girls’ room was finished in our moving announcement post the other day? If you did, you have good eyes! Last weekend, in the midst of installing quarter round, painting trim and other get-the-house-ready-to-list clean up, we also put the finishing touches on Lilly and Meg’s room. And then we [...]
Hi there! How are you doing? We are uncharacteristically exhausted here. In between sanding, painting, staining and poly-ing the “new” dining table and six chairs we haven’t managed to squeeze in many smaller projects. Honestly if you follow us on facebook or twitter you know this dining room project has been kicking our butts! But [...]
It’s been a busy week here again at Chez Acheson. Last weekend we finished our Reclaimed Wood Headboard and finally managed to pull much of our master bedroom together. There is still work to be done…baseboards, ceiling, chandelier, etc. But at least I am not embarrassed to have the door open when company comes anymore! Also, [...]
Happy Mother’s Day to all you mommies out there! (Love you, Mom!) My family accidentally forgot about Mother’s Day – but really I can’t blame them. You see, my sister is away so we have her two young boys staying with us until Wednesday…and I have caught the virus my girls had earlier this week [...]
Well we’re jumping on another design bandwagon: the Gallery Wall. Right now we’re just getting started. We’ve emptied the wall… And we’ve started collecting frames and artwork… Come back soon to see our progress!
The air is still a little crisp, but the sunny days have outnumbered the gray ones for the last week. The snow is gone and the crocuses are blooming. I can see the leaves of the tulips poking up through the half frozen garden dirt. Spring is finally here! Inside the house, we’ve been hard [...]

I’m pretty sure I promised you guys an inspiration board for our master bedroom awhile back. Didn’t I? Perhaps not? Am I imagining things? Well in any case, that’s what today’s post is about, so lucky you! First a little refresher (as always, right?). Our sixty-eight year old war-era bungalow was only a two bedroom [...]
Well, we lit up the hallway anyway! We posted awhile back about our front hall progress from ‘teenie tiny’ to ‘ah, much better’. There are still a few projects left to finish (does it ever end really?) like sanding and refinishing the hardwood and putting down quarter round and painting the remainder of the ceiling and [...]
