Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget


Just took this quiz over at Stylish Home!

Results: You most resemble a "Park Avenue Cocktail".
Details...
Details of craftsmanship with natural materials surround you. Your kitchen is your prize. Decorative, finished… elegant. The Bedroom exudes a sensuous tranquility. Tempo and technical accumen give a smooth flow to you. Modern subtleties extend to your table. A lithe and agreeable cab - no meal required. Pre-war, upper east side attitude. At the end of the day… you don't take things too seriously..


Suspected "Park Avenue Cocktail"

- Marlene Dietrich
- Audrey Hepburn
- Frank Sinatra



A big thanks to Young House Love for introducing me to the quiz. What are your results?

Let's Get Our Move On!

That's right, We are...


We get the keys to our new 2b/2b apartment in Baltimore on April 15th! I can't wait to unpack and organize our new place. Designing the lay out and decorating the different rooms is going to be so much fun. It will be a slow and budget conscience process but I'm really looking forward to creating a style of our own.

On a related note, have you seen the Hyperbole and a Half blog by Allie Brosh yet?  It's pretty hilarious. If you read any of her posts while you're at work, just know that you will actually laugh out loud and draw attention to yourself. You have been warned. Her post, Dogs Don't Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving, is exactly how I imagine our dog will react to moving. Fingers crossed I'm wrong.

We definitely have our work cut out for us as we prepare for the big move. I have only freaked out once so far. Okay twice. Wish us luck!

Fun Find


I have the toughest time hard boiling eggs. The yolk is either not cooked all the way or grey. Hopefully I found my solution in the cutest egg timer website ever: http://www.eggwatcher.com/. It's fun and just plain cute. I can't wait to try it and see if it works!
