#83: The Loophole We Found In Our Duplex Delay Feb 05, 2018

Show notes

We've encountered a few frustrating setbacks with our beach duplex renovation, but thanks to a small technicality we were finally able to charge ahead and start demolition. Gotta love a loophole! So we're sharing our work-around, and the surprising thing that was discovered during demo. Plus, when it comes to buying things online without touching or seeing them in person first, we've become much more willing to go for it these days, so we're sharing our tips for minimizing your risk when shopping for home stuff online (including how to unlock even more reviews, and what items we haven't had the courage to buy online yet). Plus, we make the case for rethinking your shower curtain and the verdict on whether or not a weighted blanket can solve Sherry's sleep problems.

#82: What It's Really Like To Live In A Tiny House Jan 29, 2018

Show notes

If you've ever had dreams (or maybe nightmares?) of living in a tiny house, you're not alone. Lots of people have lots of different feelings about them. So we called up a couple who have lived in an 188 square foot space for over two years, and we asked them all of your burning questions to find out the rosy (and not so rosy) parts of tiny house living. And it was FASCINATING. Plus, we've hit a big sentimental milestone at home, and Sherry's finally jumping on the bandwagon of a certain decorating trend.

#81: ...And Then Our Pipes Froze Jan 22, 2018

The beach house has thrown us plenty of curveballs, but frozen pipes was not something we ever saw coming. This nailbiter had a (mostly) happy ending, except for one stupid move we made in the final moments. Plus, is expensive high-end paint really worth it, or are you better off sticking with the stuff at your local hardware store? The answer might surprise you. And find out how Sherry's battling back against the clutter of little accessories and why John's fighting off social media FOMO.

#80: How We Knew It Was Time To Move Jan 15, 2018

Show notes

Making the decision to move is one of those big life-changing choices, and we learned the hard way that doing it under the wrong circumstances might not work out as well as it could for you in the long run. So this week we're sharing our own personal test for knowing when the time is right to move (hint: it has nothing to do with "when the market is hot"). Plus, we look at what's trending for kitchens in 2018 and we share why we upgraded our TV. And lastly, if you wanna know when you can come stay at our beach house, just tune in!

#79: A Dateline-Worthy True Crime At The Beach House?! Jan 08, 2018

Show notes

When a neighbor shared some historic documents about our 100 year old beach house, we were stunned to find a story from 1936 of jealousy and even murder. So this week we're sharing what we learned along with some other surprising facts about our old home's past. We're also helping a listener find some creative ways to maximize the storage she has AND uncover additional places to stash things ("I have too much storage space" said no one ever). Plus, we share a Christmas gift to help Sherry fight insomnia and a cheap accessory that's making John's special eyes even more special.

#78: How We (Mostly) Pulled Off A Merry Yet Minimal Christmas Jan 01, 2018

Show notes

Christmas often flies in the face of our efforts to cut down on clutter and simplify the stuff in our house, so this year we employed 4 tactics to minimize all the excess without sacrificing the merriment of Christmas morning. And it worked! Well mostly (there was one memorable fail). We also both take wildly different approaches to New Year's resolutions so we're sharing a few things we're resolving to do in 2018. Plus, our big duplex renovation has already hit a snag before we could even start, and why a bunch of naked people on TV are inspiring us to look at our possessions in a whole new way.

#77: Sherry Vs. The Bathtub, Beach House Edition Dec 18, 2017

Show notes

The beach house feels like it's coming together in fast motion these days. After over a year of working on it, we can't believe it finally has working appliances, a kitchen island, even a functioning kitchen sink! But taking the freshly plumbed clawfoot tub for a spin didn't exactly work out the way Sherry thought it would. We also dive into advice for mixing and matching wood tones in a room for a look that's collected, not chaotic. Plus the autopilot Christmas decoration we're both loving this year and the triumphant return of everybody's favorite segment (consider it our Christmas gift to you).

#76: So About That Beach Duplex We Bought… Dec 11, 2017

Show notes

You haven't heard a lot about the duplex that we bought three months ago. It might seem like not much is happening, but we're actually working on three things behind the scenes that are inching us closer to demo day! We also learn what really goes into creating a home magazine (the good, the bad, and the sweaty) from HGTV Magazine's Editor-in-Chief, Sara Peterson. Plus, some simple ways we're automating our home on the cheap (without the use of any more smart home devices) and how to make your candles burn longer and stronger.

#75: It's The Most Clutterful Time Of The Year Dec 04, 2017

Show notes

As much as we love the holidays, all the "stuff" that goes along with it (gifts, decor, things piling up on every surface) can get overwhelming. So this week we're sharing how we're approaching things differently in an effort to maintain the joy of the season. And one of the most common questions we get is "who do I figure out my style?" so we're spelling out exactly how we do that when we're feeling torn, which actually happens more than you might think. Plus, Sherry revisits a controversial opinion that she passionately shared last week and John declares war on his screen time.

#74: The Big Fight We Had Over A Fridge Nov 27, 2017

Show notes

People always ask if we ever argue, especially with all the house projects we tackle together. Well, the short answer is yes. And the speed bumps we hit while installing our beach house kitchen are a perfect example of what can spark a spat. So we're sharing what we fought about, how we solved it, and who was right all along. We're also dispelling a myth about a commonly espoused "real estate deal killer" that might not be as scary or expensive as you think! Plus, our take on the new "it" room to have in your house and our trick for getting holiday cards done faster.
