SATURDAY SKETCHBOOK: BOYS BEDROOM

Recently, I posted about {D}’s small BEDROOM.  I also mentioned in THIS post that we will be utilizing some of these same concepts in our new house.  All three of our boys will share a room, but each will have a smaller private sleeping nook off of the larger shared ‘communal’ portion. I wanted to…

SATURDAY SKETCHBOOK: PRELIMINARY DESIGN

If at first you don’t succeed – try and try again.  That’s the mantra anyway. In architecture we call this stage ‘Preliminary Design’.  We know that it might not be quite right, just yet; But eventually the pieces will all come together.

ARTHROGRYPOSIS ADAPTATIONS – PLAYGROUND

Raising {K} these past 3 months has been a complete eye opener, a game changing experience.  Never before as parents have we been faced with as much emotion over a child.  The low lows and the high highs.  She is the first of our children that we have seen struggle physically.  If you have been…

FAMILY COMMAND CENTER

Let’s just take a moment and acknowledge (or stand in wonder/confusion) that I have been a mom for over 10 years and just recently put together our very first family command center.  When it was finished, I stood back and thought ‘WHY did it take me so long to do this?!’ It just makes good…

COTTAGE ROOM DESCRIPTIONS {MAIN LEVEL}

It seems that this blog has been taking on a bit of a mixture – some family, some DIY, and probably not enough of the future cottage!  I thought it would be helpful to explain a little more about each level of the cottage and how the rooms are positioned + why we decided to…

BIG BROTHERS

I just have to say that this past week I have been so proud of our boys and how they protect and encourage their little sisters. Most days we spend time at the parks and playgrounds, and because it is summer and our town sees a lot of tourists during this season, the playgrounds are…

SATURDAY SKETCHBOOK: COLLEGE DAYS

Today’s installation is bringing us waaaaay back to my college architecture days.  I went to NDSU, in Fargo, North Dakota – and as part of our curriculum we were asked to sketch any buildings that were ‘interesting’ to us.  I spent quite a bit of time in the downtown area sketching the many historic buildings…
