We can’t believe we’re halfway through Feb already (January was form of a blur). So in an endeavor to have a minute and appreciate the things that nosotros checked off the ol’ list (which keeps our momentum upwardly too combats whatever “nosotros didn’t get anything done” nagginess that sneaks up when the to-do listing is notwithstanding super long), hither’s our yearbook-tiptop-fashion January circular-upwardly. And if you want to wait even farther back, we’ve got each month of the final 2 years summarized right here inward 24 posts instead of 840.
But allow’sec offset amongst something not-notwithstanding-blogged almost (in addition to an off the wall theory nearly bacon too mustaches)…
Most Likely To Sport A Mustache: Anyone in the FLOR shop inwards SoHo last calendar month for our signing, where at that place were homemade mustache photobooth props. In fact it’s where I coined the completely logical theory that “The mustache is the bacon of the face up.” (Both bacon in addition to mustaches are trendy, as well as you’re probable to notice them on random things like mugs too band-aids, and then there has to live a connectedness, correct?) I also conversely decided that “Bacon is the the mustache of breakfast.”
Most Intrigued: Clara, when she opened the homemade latch board that we made her for Christmas. Of grade her first judgement most it made us express mirth (“oh wow homo!”) in addition to thankfully she has been captivated by it always since – specially the carabiners that we added to pass the board about color.
Biggest Relief: Finally getting to bring out our new lighting job at Shades of Light felt awesome (particularly since nosotros’ve been keeping that side project a hush-hush for over a yr). We worked really hard to come up upwards alongside a colorful too fun collection that felt similar us, non alone inward looks, just inwards budget (nothing’second over $99).
Worst Speller: It’sec no hush-hush that I’m the more spellcheck-dependent ane inwards our marriage, and so give thanks goodness Sherry noticed – just moments before posting our 2013 blogging resolutions – that I had a typo (“resoltions”) inwards every unmarried one of my graphics. A niggling flake of quick photoshop afterwards in addition to no 1 was the wiser.
Most Handsome: I gotta hand this upward to the Burg-ster. For 1, it would’ve been strange to honor it to anyone else inward our household and he only looks and so darn stately next to this pillow that I gifted Sherry for Christmas. We posted this round-up of all of our exchanged gifts, including roughly tattoos and a few crazy faces also.
Most Text-y: Probably both of us, considering it’sec how Sherry introduced me to our new media console afterward she came across it at a thrift store. Although Sherry would definitely force out the win in this category cheers to her long text conversations with various not-local friends (aye I’1000 talking near you Katie too Roo).
Biggest Nerd: I normally vesture the nerdy pants inward the family, but I’1000 giving Sherry this championship cheers to the oh-then-scientific equation she cooked upwardly for cleaning our muddy novel thrift shop media console. Though peradventure I shouldn’t encourage her or she power endeavour to cook up her ain DIY version of the periodic tabular array (which would somehow ask buying 118 novel pillows, knowing Sherry).
Most Talked About: Sherry’s bangs, which she cutting herself on a whim as well as take since go the subject of conversation inwards only well-nigh every Instagram photograph in addition to volume tour finish to follow (peradventure because they solely come out for especial occasions merely people are constantly request where they went or demanding that they emerge more). Maybe it’sec because I’m a guy, only I am fascinated / confounded by how interested everyone is in my married woman’s pilus.
Most Compact: Our casual system for Christmas decoration storage, which we outlined for those who were curious nearly how we crammed all of our vacation decor out of sight for the other 11 months of the year.
Most Quotable: That award totally goes to Clara these days. Which is why nosotros made her funny trivial quotes – along alongside her funny petty Instagram pictures – the star of our annual DIY calendar. Oh as well as Burger’second in at that place too. You tin cheque it out in more than item hither too download our complimentary template if you desire to brand your ain.
Most Trendy: This goes to the fine art we added in a higher place the daybed inward our sunroom, non because the fine art itself it’s specially trendy (although I’k not lone inwards my map dear these days) only because I jumped on the animated GIF bandwagon by making ane to demo the art wall’s progress. Yup, I’one thousand fancy forthwith.
Most Adulterous: This commonly isn’t an honor you lot desire to win, simply I’ll gladly take it this calendar month for my non-and so-clandestine-dear for the oversized cycle prints in our sunroom too the slow DIY frames that I made for them.
Most Colorful: Our whole house palette. Okay, admittedly the palette itself doesn’t wait wildly colorful just I’one thousand yet handing over this honor to the mail service because it was, well, near looking at the colors inward our house equally a whole. And it seems as if we have every color of the rainbow going on if you lot count fabrics, rugs, together with accessories.
Most Helpful: My newest footling DIY assistant, who helped me squeeze the power drill patch putting together the novel Expedit for our sunroom. And yep, nosotros did role a ability tool to assemble a slice of Ikea furniture. I’1000 mode as well lazy to do all that allen wrenching by mitt!
Most Revealing: The drinking glass-doored bathroom inward our Miami hotel, which nosotros nosotros stayed at equally function of our tour stops inwards Austin, Texas, too South Florida. It was simply i of many proficient stories from a trip that included me curtsying inward a Home Depot apron, Sherry doing a weak Dexter impression, too $herdog’s littlest homeboy.
The “Clean Slate” Award: This has to become to our playroom / junk room where we did lots of book photography over a twelvemonth agone. We last got it cleared out too repainted it. We were then excited to create a space that nosotros can actually bask (equally opposed to closing the door to enshroud from the clutter).
Most Honest: Many of yous had questions on the subject field, as well as you lot know nosotros similar to go along it existent, and so we shared a behind the scenes look at how the volume business industrial plant, at to the lowest degree inwards our feel by revealing that publishing a book doesn’t brand yous a millionaire… or even anything roughly that. Thank good we did it for the dear! You know what they say almost moment coin together with moment problems anyway…
Most Excited: Clara, for her novel big girl room, which started to expect more than room-ish alongside the add-on of a daybed, some bright bedding inwards her favorite colors, together with a play table that I cutting downwards to her size.
Most Likely To Be Pregnant: Our friend Lori who, by coincidence, was significant both times we crashed her habitation. Her novel family caught many of your eyes for lots of reasons, simply specially for the awesome built-ins that they added inwards their family unit room. And yes, I realize everyone was hoping Sherry would have the prize inward this category, merely she is non currently amongst child (unless you lot count her existence in the room with Clara and Burger, simply they’re non inward her belly).
Most Likely To Keep Instagram In Business: Us – although possibly we’re only keeping the Instagram spin-off services in concern considering our recent gild of prints for the frame collage inwards our living room in addition to magnets for Clara’second play kitchen.
Most Fudge-ing Awesome: The incredible answer yous guys had to our random thought to accept an Unofficial Macklemore Thrift Shop Challenge. We secretly feared nosotros were the alone ones who were obsessed with hip hop’s numero uno tribute to thrifting, so the fact that y’all guys were into it was the icing on the cake, er, the fake fur on the big a$$ coat.
Most Debated: This new dresser for Clara’sec big girl room that nosotros scored on Craiglist. The jury is nevertheless out at our family as to whether it’sec gonna get refinished or earn more or less pretty paint, merely we certain got lots of proposition from yous guys!
Most Organized: My straight off-consummate pegboard inwards the basement that lastly got filled upward with both class (wooden United States, white elephant) and function (shelf, iPod dock, pen cup).
Most Likely To Get Lots of Action: Wait, not that kind of activeness. What I really meant was that the new pinkish polka-dot / ombre carpet in Clara’sec large girl room is in all likelihood gonna see lots of play time, jumping, tea parties, as well as stuffed animate being mosh pits.
Most Likely To Miss The Memo That Christmas Is Over: These white ceramic houses (which Sherry got as a Christmas gift). Despite being from Ballard Designs’ holiday job, it seems they’ve earned a mail service-holiday topographic point on our drape, which we shared hither along with 2 other mini updates. If Sherry has her style, they’ll alive in that location forever. At least we don’t accept to pay any utilities on them…
How did January wait for you lot? Did you knock out a lot of locomote for go or for play? Did you become any major projects completed? Or did you but hunker downwards together with endeavour non to freeze your DIY-loving hands off?
