Food for remodeling

October 21, 2010 Stephanie Leary 1 Comment

After six years of griping about our kitchen cabinets and countertops, we're finally replacing them. The kitchen has gone through this progression over the last couple of weeks: … [Read more...] about Food for remodeling

Nearing completion

December 12, 2004 Stephanie Leary

I put the finishing coats on the bookshelves today and we moved them into the study. There's one endcap I forgot to paint—just as well; I reconfigured the whole setup so I'd have room for the papasan in there—and somehow one of the shelves didn't get its topcoat of … [Read more...] about Nearing completion

Book reviews: mystery

September 2, 2004 Stephanie Leary

Aunt Dimity Beats the Devil – Nancy Atherton I found this pretty bland and unexciting. The series is about a woman who inherits a house from her aunt. Said aunt is a ghost who communicates with her heir by writing in a magical diary. If I'm fuzzy on the details, it's … [Read more...] about Book reviews: mystery

Weekend dilemmas

July 26, 2004 Stephanie Leary

So we went to Houston for the weekend. Michael had an EQ get-together in Katy, and I stayed with my mom, two aunts, and a cousin. (The cousin and the aunt who is not her mother both live in an apartment complex near the Compaq Center. Have I lost you yet?) The cousin is mostly … [Read more...] about Weekend dilemmas

Out of commission

July 13, 2004 Stephanie Leary

Through a combination of moving some (not very heavy) boxes and painting the overhead piece of our dining room window seat, I have "made a really big mess" of my sciatic nerve. (That's the doctor's official diagnosis.) As a result I've been enjoying two days of couch time, … [Read more...] about Out of commission

Monster IKEA

June 30, 2004 Stephanie Leary

So the new IKEA store in Houston is open. My God, what a monstrosity that thing is. The old store has been reduced to a pile of rubble, and next to the new behemoth it looks like a small pile. A tiny pile. The new store even has a bigger sign, as Michael pointed out, "just … [Read more...] about Monster IKEA

We have greenage

June 28, 2004 Stephanie Leary

One wall of the dining room is green. We're waiting for the plaster to dry everywhere else so we can finish painting. My clever mother suggested putting up wainscoting over the evil wallpaper on the bottom half of the wall, an idea that appeals to me a lot more than peeling and … [Read more...] about We have greenage

Setbacks

June 23, 2004 Stephanie Leary

We got the mudding finished and the dining room taped and covered in plastic last night. However, the green paint is all wrong. We came to the conclusion that we can't find a shade that won't be too dark and still matches the remaining wallpaper on the bottom half of the … [Read more...] about Setbacks
