Blogiversary IV: Time, Money, And Pies
Like previous blogivesaries, we’re gonna use this week as an excuse to take a look at the business side of blogging (at least as we know it). As you’ve probably gathered by now, we never intended to start a business when we wrote our first post back in Sept 2007, nor did we ever construct [...]
Cabinet Hunting (No Store Left Unturned)
First of all- holy cow. We just had a crazy earthquake a few minutes ago. Very strong! It was completely unexpected for our area (the epicenter was right here in Virginia and it registered about a 5.8?! – we’ve even heard from friends in NY who felt it). Nothing fell off the walls or anything [...]
Family Traditions: Why My Wife and I Are (Now) Spending The Holidays Together
Right before Thanksgiving, the good folks here at Blisstree posted “My Wife and I Spend the Holidays Apart (And We Like it That Way),” a little look at our non-traditional non-together festivities. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with the responses. Show More Summary
Happy Weekend!
Errands? Check. Fridge stocked? Check. Work finished? Um next question, please. House cleaned? Sorta check… It’s a holiday weekend and time to sign off until Tuesday since it’s Easter weekend! Tomorrow is Karfreitag and then Monday is Ostermontag so I’m taking both holidays for myself. We have family coming in tomorrow and a Spring festival [...]

Color Me Red: Inspiring Red Rooms
Anyone remember that short film, The Red Balloon (Le Ballon rouge)? It came out in the late 50s, about a little boy who finds a red balloon that follows him around (we won't spoil the ending). Anyway
Musical House Tours: Apartment Therapy LA Salutes Michael Jackson
Over here at Apartment Therapy LA, music is a huge part of both our home and work lives. With one of us working in the music industry and another in a band, we're constantly checking out each other's
Musical Offices: A Playlist of Home Office Moods
Out of all the different kinds of posts that are published here, these musical playlists are my favorite kind to compile (and guiltiest pleasure). For one, I get to look at a broad spectrum of styles
Musical Outdoors: A Playlist of Outdoor Spaces
Now that the temperatures are rising and it's warm enough to venture outside, it's time to dedicate a few songs to some outdoor spaces that we find particularly inspiring. Plus, we simply can't resis
Musical Bedrooms: A Playlist of Bedroom Moods
There's something to be said about waking up in your own bed after a long trip, isn't there? We're relishing being back home in LA after our week-long stint in San Francisco; and while we did consider
Musical Bathrooms: A Playlist of Bathroom Moods
Color choices are always described in terms of mood, aren't they? There's the "tranquil" bathroom, the "cheerful" bathroom, the "dramatic" bathroom, blahdety blah. We've all heard the same song and da
