So, last weekend, I ventured out to the Junk in the Trunk Trio’s Vintage Market. It’s basically a big craft sale, but with really cool stuff. They had about 60 vendors – all selling “junk” and/or treasures, depending on your view. I took a girlfriend and wisely left the hubby behind. We both scored some [...]

Dream Thrifting: Fabric!
Posted in Shopping, STEALS!, Thrifting on April 26, 2012 | 5 Comments »
I stopped by my local thrift store to browse – primarily searching for a changing table for the new downstairs playroom (update coming soon) – but I happened to walk by the fabric aisle. FABRIC! They have fabric at the thrift store? People donate unused fabric? What? Look what I scored… I’ve got yards of each [...]

Ahh… the day after Christmas SALES! Do you love them as much as I do? I love them more than Black Friday. Here’s what we scored this year: We snagged these Alegra Hicks chairs from West Elm for 70% off. SWEET! Retail price = $499 each. We got these puppies (brand new, still in the [...]

For our first official post of the summer, what better topic than the backyard grill/BBQ? Who wouldn’t dream of having a custom-built BBQ on your patio? Nice feature, huh? Kinda pricey though. Unless you “inherit” the sad shell of a former such luxury with your foreclosed home, which you bought with your super-handy hubs, whose [...]
Dream Date

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 [...]

Nope. No exciting announcements. (As if the blog is the place we’d first announce a dream in the oven?!) Just another little Then & Now action for you… the Dream Family room. As we’ve mentioned before, the family room is an extension of our kitchen – a lovely feature that was on our “must” list [...]

We are happy to report that Christmas dinner at the Dream was a success! We hosted our parents and served up a healthy dose of Boeuf Bourguignon. It was our first attempt at making that dish – something we savored while traveling through the Bourgogne wine region in France this summer. We were able to host [...]

We are (almost) ready for our Open Dream Party tonight. 70+ said “Yes!” to our invite and we excited to show off the Dream. One area that still needs some love and attention is our master suite. Since we decided to first focus on the Dream’s common areas… kitchen, family room, guest bath… our room [...]

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 [...]
