First of all, I cannot thank everyone adequately for your words of encouragement yesterday. The emails, messages, phone calls, texts, comments, tweets – everything. I’m surrounded by an incredible group of people and I am grateful for all of you. Things are going to work out just fine in my little world. I see many [...]

Who doesn’t love a little Goodwill treasure? Check out the fun finds we scored for the Dream this week: After realizing we’re rotating the same candlesticks over and over, these purdy white vases are part of a new effort to spruce up our centerpieces. Our inspiration? The CABINET of fun rotating centerpieces over at Young [...]

We can hardly believe our Dream is a year old! Okay, that’s a lie. She’s actually 23 years old. But, she’s a year old to us. Today, we celebrate ONE YEAR since we signed our lives away and got the keys to our Dream. In honor of this special day, let’s look back on what [...]
Dream Date
Posted in Details, Kitchen, Link Love, Shopping, STEALS! on February 21, 2010 | 3 Comments »
January 20, 2008 That’s our “dream date” — our wedding day. Recently, we browsed through one of Mrs. Dreamer’s favorite stores - Anthropologie - and found something fun to commemorate that date: These little spice jars called our name – especially when we saw they had our necessary number makeup. But the PRICE made the purchase a [...]

Like most foreclosed homes, ours came sans appliances. Well, it did have “appliances” – that we’re pretty sure the bank found along the curb on bulk trash day and threw them in so the kitchen appeared “applianced.” We were not fooled and promptly purchased new kitchen appliances. However, there was one pesky “mini-appliance” that had [...]
Open Dream Party

The host, hostess, and dog-host are rested. The recycling and trash are gone. The leftovers are put away. The dishes are done (thanks to a great friend!). The Open Dream Party was a success! About 70 friends, co-workers, neighbors and family stopped by the Dream this weekend to make sure all of our “work” wasn’t just [...]

There she sat, perched on the sink, neck extended in a mocking stare. Weathered and leaking… her taunting presence the topic of a few nightmares… her demise the topic for a few dreams. Those dreams began morphing into reality during a three-hour mega trip to Home Depot. You may ask how spending three hours in [...]

The kitchen is done. Happy dance time! If you don’t count the new stainless steel appliances, we did the entire thing for about $700! (But, we did score a great deal on the appliances by buying them all at the same time at a locally-owned store and scouring the scratch-n-dent room.) As you can see, [...]
Another’s Junk? A Dream Gem.

Out on our evening walk with the pup, we spotted it. For weeks, we’ve been scouring Craig’s List for a bench. A simple, dark wood, upholstered bench to fill up a bleak spot between our kitchen and family room. And there she was. In our neighbor’s yard, not near the trash can, not near the [...]
