Friday Family-Friendly Find: Antolini Azerocare Natural Stone
As you know, I am always on the lookout for innovative products – new and exciting, or just flying under the radar – and I try as much as possible to ‘battle test’ things I’m not quite sure about on myself (and my two-boy destruction crew…they roll deep). I created Friday Family-Friendly Finds to share…
Read MoreDay 133: Project 1896 (Our Home Renovation) – Special Powder Room Edition!
Since I missed Friday Family-Friendly Find last week (did you notice? I did đ ), I wanted to share an extra-special update today to make up for it. Things are really heating up here with our renovation project, and I’m really excited to say that we’re inching ever-closer to weather-tight. All windows and exterior doors…
Read MoreProject Update: Waban Custom Kitchen Plans (Plus, I Can’t Believe it’s Not Marble!)
After this week, and for the next several months, my Tuesday posts will be dominated by my own home renovation. The thrill of agony, the victory of defeat.

Despite the lack of progress in making…
Read MoreWhat Looks Good With Carrara Marble?
Who doesn’t love a beautiful slab of carrara marble? Relative to other natural and engineered stone options, carrara is actually on the less expensive side, so it can be an attractive option for projects in a wide range of budgets. Of course, carrara has its challenges, and isn’t for everyone; it can etch and stain…
Read MoreStone Cold Crazy
Recently, I had the opportunity to visit a stone distributor, Marble & Granite in Norwood, Massachusetts, to (re)select the slabs for my kitchen. I won’t get into the ‘re’ part, other than saying I didn’t think I’d have to go back for a second time (absolutely no fault on the part of M&G) – but…
Read MoreWhat I’ve Learned About Countertops…and My Countertops
Apologies to subscribers/followers if you saw an earlier version of this post – it was inadvertently published before it was complete! I’ve just completed what amounts to a crash course in countertops, as I’m in the midst of selecting them for our new home. I thought I would share some of my learnings, as well…
