http://ourlifeofwonderful.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
House Tour Before and Afters. Monday, June 15, 2015. Gettin' It Done in the Bedroom. Over the past couple weeks, Mr. W and I have been getting busy in the bedroom like you wouldn't believe. I know that sounds dirty. And it has been dirty. In fact, I've had paint and dust on my body just about every day. Half of the bedroom looks pretty good. The other half looks like this. And then the cat walked through it and left about 50 paw prints in the wet poly. Painted a long time ago. Since March, Mr. W and ...

Confessions of an Imperfect Life. Newer posts →. December 7, 2014. I never noticed them before;. I see them everywhere now. Four times already in Sydney,. Halfway across the world, and they are here. How can that be? How can you be both everywhere,. One of your songs plays on the radio,. On a taxi ride to Drummoyne. I barely hear it at first,. But then it becomes the only sound. You are here, too. What does it mean? Does it mean anything? Is it really you that I am hearing? Now it is my voice instead,.

'S Wonderful: Showering With Homer
http://ourlifeofwonderful.blogspot.com/2015/07/showering-with-homer.html
House Tour Before and Afters. Thursday, July 2, 2015. If you haven't already heard, California is in a nasty drought right now. Brown is the new green when it comes to lawns. Trees are in distress everywhere. Riverbeds are bone dry. Being a third-generation CA girl, this breaks my heart. So I decided to do something that others have championed during past times of regional dehydration. I got myself a shower buddy. And it's not my husband. Let's do this," he says. And there in the steam and spray, we do.

House Tour Before and Afters. Sunday, March 29, 2015. Be Our Guest.Anytime Except Right Now. Awhile ago, I took some pictures of our guest room because I planned to write a post about it—and I happen to love it because it's very much MY room. It's the only room Mr. W will allow me to pack with pink. My clothes are in its closet. My odds and ends are in its desk. It reminds me of the bedroom in my old apartment. And I'm happy to report, we're making good progress. The new closet got framed this weekend.

House Tour Before and Afters. Monday, November 24, 2014. Gratuitous Eye Candy: A Before-And-After Montage. I don't know if you all like before and after pictures, but they're kind of my porn. (Not that I've ever seen porn, Mom.) I swear I could spend the whole dang day on sites like Better After. So in honor of my lust for home makeovers—and to give you all a little glimpse of some smaller but still worthy upgrades we've made recently—allow me to share this lovely mish mash of B-and-A pics. It's a cute s...

'S Wonderful: August 2015
http://ourlifeofwonderful.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
House Tour Before and Afters. Tuesday, August 25, 2015. Everything's a trade-off. Lovely new bedroom under construction = decimated lawn and yard. This afternoon I sat on the couch, looking out the window of our living room, watching the stillness of our yard, thinking how peaceful everything seemed. There was no sound except the hum of our wine fridge. With eye closed and ears open, one would never guess that there's still chaos and mess strewn from one edge of the property to another. But I'm not sure ...

House Tour Before and Afters. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. 50 Quotes That Sum up Our Year. I think we exchanged some other dialog during 2014, but these stand out as the phrases most often uttered and most easy to remember. My chicken stool just fell in a gopher hole. I think we should clean (the chicken) Charlotte's butt vent. I think we should clean Charlotte's butt feathers. The washing machine is flooding the hallway! Later that same night) Help, there’s a lizard in the dining room! I thought you were...

Confessions of an Imperfect Life. On Moments of Happiness and Hope. April 16, 2015. And happiness was the singular emotion that existed in that moment. Throughout most of this trip to New Jersey, I have been overwhelmed: by grief, by loss, by anger, by sadness, by dread, by unease, by shame. There were so many firsts without my sister and my dad in the course of a week that completely depleted and often defeated me. The first birthday (Kelly’s). The other first birthday (my dad’s). Just last week, I drov...

House Tour Before and Afters. Wednesday, April 29, 2015. An Audio Tour of Our Trip to Europe. After 10 days in Europe, I have over 300 pictures in my iPhoto collection. But it wasn't just the sights from this trip that made it memorable—it was the sounds. So I tried to capture some. And now they're here for your listening pleasure. While you look at some of the pictures from that part of our drive. I miss the cows. And the cheese. Posted by Melissa Maris. Tuesday, April 7, 2015. Remodeling might be one o...
