If you’re new to The Yellow House Project, start here, at the bottom, and work your way up. You’ll be glad you did. When I asked Lindsey what she would like with her guest room, she told me that one day, in the great oblivion of beyond, distant future, it would probably be a nursery in…
truck furniture + an update on the great sofa conundrum of 2011
Happy Friday everyone! I’m going to make today’s post short and sweet. Jamin has been out of town, and to summarize, I’m exhausted from an allergy issue I’ve had as well. I’m pooped, and I think its because I lack the ability to rest, but that’s another rant for another day. So I wanted to…

the ins and outs: put a back on it
I received a question in my inbox that went a little something like this: Just found your blog today. Love the dining room transformation and your style. I want to change the interior of a cabinet to grasscloth too. When I brought up the idea of painting the inside, my hubby said nothin doing. Its…
abacus-inspired family command center
Alternate title: random thingy we made that has no real name because it’s a hybrid-mixed-mutt calendar. But that’s how we roll round here in the Millz Hizzy. About a month ago {yeah, it took me about a month to get to this one} I received a message on our convo hub from a sweet gal named…
