Nothing Caught On Fire So I Did This Right?

So we didn't get a crazy amount of snow this week, about five inches. Still enough to put everyone in a funk. Spring feels very overdue right now. I did mange to get some of my lesser fun house things done though. Like switching out a pretty heinous ceiling fan, for something a bit more simple.

This was my first electrical project ever. I figured since I did my first plumbing project ever last week, it would be a good follow up. Changing a light is super easy. It will more than likely be even easier for you than me. I had a bit of older wiring to finagle with, but nothing I couldn't handle.

PS: If you're wondering, it's the Minut down light bought from IKEA. It throws off a pretty bright light which is nice since it's so gloomy outside. Just make sure you turn the power off! I find myself turning off the whole house just for piece of mind.

 

I painted the trim in the dining room, which was in dire need of repainting. The pink on the wall is one of the rejects from our paint selections. I really like it, but I think it reads to baby pink for the look were going for. It's Valspar's Pink Ribbon.

For those of you wondering about the second picture. Yes, I bought a Christmas tree in March. This is really the time to buy one though, they're on super sale. Won't the white look good next year next to the Archer Avenue pink? The only reason I set it up (no fluffing mind you) is because it's pre-lit, and I wanted to make sure everything worked and was on the up and up.

It's supposed to be not horrible weather wise out this weekend, so maybe that'll perk everyone up. I plan on spending a good part of my weekend prepping the front room walls for painting. Which is the worst, most boring job in all of home improvement. If you don't do it though, your walls are going to look horrible.
I'd like to get a good deal done on the dress I'm sewing as well. I predict a bit of a shut in weekend for myself.

I hope your plans are much more exciting than mine!

Week In Review


I know, I've been a lazy blogger this week. But to be fair I was on vacation for most of it. Expect an obnoxiously long photo post as soon as I'm able to get those bad boys uploaded and edited. 

This week was wonderful/horrible. 

Wonderful: 
Vacation
Finding Perfect Vintage Earring Cases
Being able to take a "Downton Bubble Bath"
Finding a new favorite nail color, so springy! 

Horrible:
Lots of time on planes
Swollen Legs
Seriously Hurting my feet from the amount of walking I did in San Francisco
Jet Lag and time zone issues
My house being a total disaster area
Not keeping up with the blog schedule

But Thanks goodness things are getting back to normal (including my legs).

Week In Review


This week has been the snowiest of the year. Driving in it is a bit of a nightmare, but I survived. It's nothing compared to what the upper east coast is about to get hit with. I can't even imagine getting two feet of snow. Stay safe! 

My week mostly consisted of house projects, eating, and lounging. We also got a soda stream! So I made some blood orange spritzers, so delicious. I had some really awesome meatballs and fries (paleofail). Oh and my new favorite mug sent to me by an internet friend! It's amazing and so very me. 

I'll be posting a bit more on the house projects I was telling you about this next week so keep your eyes peeled. 

How was your week?

IPF: A Whole New Year

I've had quite a busy holiday season.
 After Christmas my good friend Alex and his girlfriend came and visited from my old hometown. We had a blast and it's always fun to be a tourist in your own city. We spent some time in Northside at a few of our old favorite hang outs. Had some delicious brunch at Melt.  It's interesting trying to eat out on our new Paleo Diet. There's not a lot options wise, but most places are very willing to work with us. Melt was no exception. Browsed the vinyl basement at Shake It Records, and brought a few vintage dresses over at Casablanca Vintage

We also ended up seeing Django Unchained at one of my favorite movie theaters in Cincinnati, The 102 year old Esquire. The movie itself was hard to watch, given the gruesome subject matter. It was a good revenge flick though in the end. Very Tarantino, ultra violent, ultra obscene, and controversial. Leo DiCaprio should play the villain more though, it suits him. 

We still had some serious snow, until just today. Heavy wet stuff, that sticks to branches and roads. I'm glad to see it melt.

Brian showed up mid week to come to lunch with me, he looked quite dapper. We got some delicious Korean food. 

Brian and I have also subscribed to Tonx Coffee.  They send you a bag of beans from all over the world according to how often you want delivery. Something to keep our morning routines interesting. I've never been one to turn down a good cup of coffee either. 

I've been releasing my inner goth kid around the house with an on the whim rediculous drugstore lipstick buy. I brought a few, and have a blog post going for that. I don't know if that's even something people besides me want to read, but it's my blog. Sorry, not sorry.

Hope you guys had a great New Years!

IPhone Photo Friday : SUMMAH TIME

 Although this weather has made sleeping upstairs near impossible, it's nice to be able to enjoy nice weather for Findlay Market and lunches at Senate. Even if the market was SLAMMED with people. The city pools are all opened as well, I know where I'll be Sunday! 

Have a great, hopefully not too sweltering weekend!

iPhone Photo Friday : In This City

I walk by all these buildings every day. It's weird how pretty they can be when you take the time to actually look at them.

iPhone Photo Friday : Baking & Dogs


To be quite honest, baking and dog cuddles equals most of my free time this week. Also, I really have no problem with that.
