facelift
so excited to show you guys the blogs makeover today! i’m sure you noticed the blog has been loading slowly and has even been down sporadically, so we took some steps to stop that from happening. hoping that everything loads much faster now and you don’t have to sit there waiting.
and while we were doing that, we gave my blog a little visual makeover too! you’re looking at a custom version of our brand new blogzilla theme, unveil. unveil is my favorite theme we’ve done yet! it has a portfolio, category galleries, a shop, basically everything you’d want. and to celebrate the launch of it and the launch of the new almost makes perfect, we’re offering $15 off from today through april 1st! just use code AMP15.
what’s new here…
you can now browse categories, and subcategories! wanna just browse through DIYS for thanksgiving? you can! want to only search for printable gift wrap?! you can!
i also added a shop section where i’ll be posting my favorite products, ranging from DIY and blogging supplies to just pretty house things i like ( and i’m considering adding some original products too…! )
you may also notice… i took a new photo and i’m looking right at you. not my usual style, but HEY HI THAT’S ME HOW ARE YA.
anyway, hope you like it!

happy weekend
this week flew by for me even though i didn’t want it to, whenever there’s a ton to do it seems to go by way too fast. we’ve started working on our backyard, trying to get it in shape for actually using it this summer. we planted a tree and are killing the weeds and had a deck guy come over for a consult. looks like a deck isn’t happening yet, but we’re coming up with alternatives! blah blah blah have a good weekend!

range hoods for high ceilings
so we’re in the very beginning stages of planning our kitchen reno, oh man it’s way more work than i thought to even begin planning. we’re basically just figuring out what we want, from what type of countertops to the amount of drawers we need. the biggest hurdle so far is when i realized i have no clue how to hand the 10 foot ceiling above our oven.

8 sandals for spring
i honestly couldn’t live anywhere cold because i basically live in sandals. i own more sandals than anything else and those that know me know that i’m almost always wearing them… so i’m basically an expert. and i never lose the urge to get more sandals because i wear them down so hard. it’s a real catch 22. anyway, here are some of my currents faves (and btw #6 is the most comfortable sandal ever)

happy weekend
happy friday guys. this week was pretty productive when it comes to house things, we cut some concrete in the backyard to plant a tree we bought, and to plant some bougainvillea over the studio (the exterior is really ugly right now so we’re working on prettying it up). this weekend we’ve got more house errands and we’re gonna see 10 cloverfield lane (are you seeing it? it’s supposed to be awesome). have a good one!
⋅ if you want your heart to melt right now…
⋅ this sounds like a movie premise
⋅ really beautiful easter eggs
⋅ tweets about trader joes parking lots
⋅ just bought these and i’m in love
⋅ love this desert house tour
⋅ before and after special effects (these are mesmerizing) -
DIY modern pom pom pillow
i really never thought i’d be using pom poms in a project, ever — but here i am, and i love it. i’m super excited about this pillow because it’s one of the easiest projects i’ve done in a while, and requires literally no crafting skills besides a little patience and something to watch on TV.
