Well, we recently painted our bedroom with the intent of making the new bedroom set “pop” a little more. So here is the big reveal! The new paint on the walls is a very very light grey. We removed the tan based bedding and replaced it with a white set that has subtle designs on the cover. We then removed the large maroon area rug and replaced it with two smaller rugs with the same bold, colorful design. By doing this, it also reveals more of the hardwood floor in the room. So when is House & Garden showing up?
BBQ Launch
I’m proud to announce that we opened up year two of the backyard BBQ. We again grilled up some chicken and included some world famous Stubbs BBQ sauce. I can’t wait to get to Austin soon to try some straight from the restaurant directly!
Chateau Clark
My house during the recent blizzard that hit the East Coast of the US.
I also created a panoramic view of my street, taken from my front porch, during the blizzard.
Kitchen Painted
We painted the kitchen this week. Doing so was prompted when we purchased our new kitchen table. Here are some photos of how the kitchen looks now.
New Kitchen Table

This is our new kitchen table. I’m particularly proud of this acquisition to the house because we purchased the table for…wait for it…$100. You can’t get a cheezy kitchen and table set from Wal-Mart for that price. The table was damaged. Can you see the damage? Neither can I from this view. In reality, the round edge of the table is a bit loose from the main area of the table top. When we purchased the table, it had the “shabby chic” look. So a paint job, and a couple of angle irons, and we have a brand new kitchen table.
The old one is below. We really liked the old vintage table below, but unfortunately too much pressure on one of its “wings” caused it to break. Its a 65 year old table, yet 3 years in the Clark house and we manage to bring it too its knees. Makes me proud! :)
Crown Moulding
I spent today attempting and failing mightily to install crown moulding in my house. Basically, it kicked my ass. There is no other way to describe it. I definitely need to get a professional in here. To think that I could install it in my dining room, living room is nothing short of hilarious. Oh well, at least I can say I tried.
