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 promised you a post about siding and stone, and I’m here to deliver! Some of you (a.k.a. Alert & Awesome) may remember all of that exterior inspiration I was drooling Chardonnay over earlier this summer. By the time we needed to make our exterior selections G and I were pretty set on a black
Happy 2016! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and are kicking your new year off with a bang! Ready to return to house talk? For the record, G and I never stopped. It’s pretty much all we talked about in 2015 and will likely dominate our 2016 as well, so if you see us
This is one of those ideas that has me feeling equal parts brilliant and idiotic. Let me back it up a minute… G, Kate and I just moved into our dream house and we thought it’d be fun to host a housewarming party this weekend. (That’s not the “idiotic” point I’m trying to make, but it’s
We interrupt the ongoing saga of the construction of our dream home and our new favorite game of “how many boxes did I hurdle today?” to talk handmade holiday gifts. One of the few things* I made sure to never lose track of throughout these past six months as we packed up our old house
We moved in! I say “we moved in!” versus “we’re all moved in!” because while technically all of our things are out of storage and within the parameters of the shingles and siding you see below, the reality is I just had to climb over fifty-eleven-hundred boxes to reach my desk and laptop. In fact, as I write this
