savannah + brandon + albert the doggie

things we see, eat and do

striped table – before + after

August 27, 2013 //

During one of Albert’s afternoon walks, we stumbled upon this little table tossed to the curb. When we went back on a dinner-time walk, the table was still there and this time we couldn’t resist bringing it home (well, savannah couldn’t anyway). We’d been wanting a table to put at the front door to collect…

geometric brights + gold succulent pots

June 5, 2013 //

Inspired by this post on Creature Comforts Blog, we created these happy little pots for our homeless succulents. The project probably took about an hour because the paint dried really quickly outside in the sun. We’ve wondered how painting pots would effect the breathability (probably hurt it), but we figured since succulents can grow in…

herbs round ii and plant stand

May 3, 2013 //

Remember those precious colorful pots that held herbs and adorned our kitchen windowsill? Yeah, well, the were metal and apparently fried the roots during the day and allowed them to get too cold at night. Boo. So within a couple of weeks, we had limp, lifeless, toasted herbs. After some research, we realized that we…

the entry piece – after

April 23, 2013 //

happy valentine’s day

February 14, 2013 //

Neither of us are especially mushy, and we don’t normally make a big deal out of Valentine’s Day, but we thought we’d use it as an excuse to focus on one area of the house and make it cute (see below)… and it seemed like a good display for a couple of our more lovey…

projects

January 23, 2013 //

Since apparently moving and settling into our first home (still in progress) wasn’t enough of a project, we decided to take on a few more. This past weekend, we went to a few of the many thrift/antique stores in Burbank looking for something to turn into a headboard and found two things we just couldn’t…
