So while I was surfin' the net this morning I came across a post written by Holly of In The Fun Lane where she's opening up her comments section for random questions from her readers. I thought this was a fun idea. Plus, I thought I'd give you a break from updates on our Fixer Upper in case the ugly early reno process just isn't your thing.
Soooooo, here's where you can ask me anything you like be it about decorating, renovating, eating too much cereal, life in general, cooking / baking, adoption, fashion (bahahahaha that was totally a joke)(I still shop at teeny bopper stores), photography, Coopster stuff, etc.
You ask it, I'll answer it. Holly's going to answer her questions in a video but I don't think I'll be that adventurous this time. Plus, how can I photoshop out my forehead wrinkles in a video?!?!
Now here's where I need your help. Can someone, ANYONE please humour me by asking me one little question. 'Cause you know I'm the sensitive type and if I get none I'll be sad. And cry. (You can even ask a question using the anonymous feature in the comments section if you really want.)
P.S. Cooper just punched me in the face as I was typing this.
P.S.S. I don't hold a grudge so I'll post a cute picture of him anyway. ;)
Are you going to decorate your new house?
ReplyDeleteHow do you convince your husband to let you buy expensive stuff? I'm struggling over here.
ReplyDeleteNow that Cooper has been born, how long before the province will allow you to be able to proceed with you adoption again?
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same thing.
DeleteWhy did you choose to adopt from Ethiopia?
ReplyDeleteHow do you keep everything so white?!?! I admire your couch, but I'm too nervous about spills and such.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your professions outside of the home?
ReplyDeleteJust so you know...I'm lovin the fixer upper, it's going to be neat watching it from sale to finish. But it's nice of you to change things up. So just for the sake of participation and not wanting you to cry, I will ask a question...how long do you expect the reno to take?
ReplyDeleteCooper is the cutest by the way!

Do you secretly want to move into the "fixer upper"?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this question!! Lol!!!
DeleteWill you be going back to work, or will you get to hang out with that ADORABLE Cooper? Are you a teacher? Somewhere it seems I remember you talking about school????
ReplyDeleteWhat is your husband's job & how does he find time to renovate the fixer-upper?!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog & your style! :)

Can I just tell you how much I ADORE your style?
ReplyDeleteHow on earth are you surviving this Ontario heat wave without air conditioning?! I've been a reader for years and I'm almost positive I've figured out that you live somewhere in Northern Ontario!
ReplyDeleteDo you ever regret taking in another dog? We have 2 kids and 2 dogs and sometimes I think how much easier our life would be had we not adopted our highly active female rescue. (This is just a thought our dogs will forever be a part of our family)
ReplyDeleteHow is your giant window box doing?
ReplyDeleteDo you ever over-think your decorating decisions? If so, how do you focus?? Once I get started I'm good, but I often don't start projects because I'm so overwhelmed with the possibilities.
ReplyDeleteI love hour site.. it has inspired me to get off my asa and finish some of my projects!!!! Ok so you font cry... where did you get that pic of the front door you have on your site...cause that is EXACTLY what I need for my house.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about your adoption plans too! We''re going to Uganda on Friday & to volunteer at an orphanage, so it's on my Ming too!!
ReplyDeletePost your wedding pictures! You teased us months ago and we are still waiting to hear all about it. And love the fixer upper posts - the place is going to be beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI agree, wedding pics - pretty please!!!!!!
DeleteWhat is your favorite room in your home? Why? What do you like doing in that space?
ReplyDeletehow do you afford all the cute stuff you buy for your house and for the fixer-upper? I'd LOVE to do all the cute things you are doing, but finding the $$$$ makes me feel like I'm seeing stars ****--LOL!!!
ReplyDeletelove what you've done with your home ( especially the curb appeal- WOW)& am so looking forward to seeing you finish the fixer upper. How did your basement renovation turn out? Will there be photos?
ReplyDeleteCooper is so adorable, i laughed a little when you mentioned he punched you Lol..its such a baby thing to do...my nephew does that too! How do you manage the budgeting when it comes to renovation? We are a young couple and we're always looking for ways to use the cheapest and most cost effective ways to glam our place. Help!
ReplyDeleteAnother 'white furniture' question - do you regret buying a white chair for your nursery? Am debating buying the same one for ours, but am worried about spit-ups, diaper disasters and generally keeping it clean.
ReplyDeleteSince you heart cake, and I do too, here's a non-decorating/adoption question (though I can't wait to read all those answers too!!):
ReplyDeleteWhat's your favourite kind?
-Libby
Totally copied yours and Holly's post today! Such a fun idea! Your house and baby are so cute! And im loving following along seeing your old fixer upper - its gonna be awesome!!
ReplyDeleteEverytime I see a Dutch door I think of you. Are you still thinking about putting one in your house?
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea! What is your number one favorite home renovation project to date??
ReplyDeleteCheers

I'm in that awkward stage of growing up where I'm well out of college, but haven't set up my "decor style" yet. How did you manage to reason with yourself to get rid of all the old mismatched furniture and splurge on matchy items? Was it over night or did it take years to phase out the old items? (I always feel so guilty getting rid of perfectly operating furniture..) :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE it Sarah!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the renos (I am one of those nosy readers who will lurk and lurk and hang on every word!!). My question is what is your favorite indulgence? Food? decor? TV? Sleep??
I am going to link you in my answer post so we can all learn more about each other, like girlfriends sharing a good margarita together, in imaginary blog-style. (if that even makes sense LOL)
Im so "Smitten" with you and your blog! Im your newest friend:) Please tell me what your oppinion is about all this blogging? For instance do you blog alittle or publish projects at the rate of speed or post personal things such as family everyday occurances?Do you ever feel left behind in the dust as a blogger?Also what do you think about all white shabby furniture in a living room? Too much? lol ok hope Im not overloading your brain! Thanks for being such a good sport!
ReplyDeleteI really want to know how you managed when you were working full time, renovating AND blogging? Where did you find the time to blog? I started, but I find working full time exhausting (we're renovating as well, room by room all by ourselves) just didn't make time for it (everywhere I read about blogging mentioned how it can be a full time job if you let it)
ReplyDeleteLove your style!
I am ready to take the plunge with white slipcovers. I have been all over the internet reading about them and looking for the right one. Did you make yours? If not where did you buy them?
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! I stumbled upon it in the last several months although I don't remember how I found you. Probably by searching for white slipcovers! :)
I LOVE your blog, and I just wanted to let you know that I could never get sick of the 'boring reno stuff'. I LOVE seeing what people do with the 'bones' of their places. Looks like you're doing a great job so far!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, we just moved into a house that has old-ish (54 years) hardwood flooring. The floor in our bedroom is in quite bad shape, and we'd like to sand it and re-finish it. My question is, have you ever painted a hardwood floor? The slats don't have any space between them, and I'm just scared to commit before hearing of anyone else that has done it! lol
Thanks, and keep up the awesome reno's!
I have a few questions...
ReplyDeleteWhen will u change the name of ur other blog "Roary needs a friend or two" to "Cooper, Roary and Lexie..." ? :P
When will u update ur other blog or will u merge both?
When will u bring me antique shopping with u? :)
