I’m completely obsessed with our new entryway antique church bench! G wanted seating in our entryway for getting shoes off and on, and I wanted more antique items in our home, so I asked him to keep an eye on Craigslist for an antique church pew or theater seats. Imagine my shock when he found the
Get your pearls out because you’re probably going to want to clutch ‘em. I didn’t decorate for Christmas the past two years. Christmas has always kind of been my thing. I legit had my bedroom decorated like Christmas all year long when I was a kid – Santas everywhere, twinkle lights, red and green quilt
I used to hate driving. With a fiery passion. Have you ever pondered the “if you were rich would you rather have a personal chef, personal trainer, chauffeur, cabana boy, etc.” question? I was all, “chauffeur!” all day, every day* but since moving to Cambridge (our amazing little town in southern Wisconsin) I’ve realized something: I don’t hate
I’ve been feeling inspired to blog again, which feels good. And scary. Like an old friend you haven’t seen in awhile and you’re not sure how it’s going to go. Will we recognize each other? Will that old familiarity still be there? Will it be awkward as hell? Should we get some booze involved? (Yes

Some of you may remember several years ago when I confessed I was averaging 2 paint jobs (and about 1½ bottles of wine) per room as we settled into our old house. (It can be hard deciding on a paint color, am I right?!) Well, fast forward nearly one decade and one nearly completed house later
Seven letters I adore (in addition to G&D and KPR, of course) are GMC & HGTV. I had the incredible honor of being a part of GMC’s 2015 Hidden Treasure Adventure last summer (one of my favorite experiences of my entire blogging career!) and just when I thought I couldn’t be a bigger fan of
Ready to dive back into house talk? I know it’s been a while and I’d love to gloss over that, but so many of you have been wonderful followers and incredible cheerleaders, and you deserve an explanation. So here’s the deal – there’s a little part of the home building process that I don’t think we hear
Thinking about breaking up on Valentine’s Day? Maybe you should! With your CFL, that is. GE – makers of the world’s best bulbs – sent me this “CFL Breakup Kit” and I thought it was too cute not to share! We haven’t gotten to the lighting portion of the ATG&D Dream Home series yet, but
Ready for some upstairs drywall action? (If you missed my downstairs drywall post you can catch it here: ATG&D Dream Home | Downstairs Drywall.) I snapped this first picture as I was walking from our main level to the upstairs. It’s a great look at our 2-story entryway in its entirety, with our temporary front door, sidelights,
