bonjour

well, well, well. lookie who's back!

welcome to romancing the stones part deux: the nesting files. captain fantastic and i have settled into married life and are moving on to our next big adventure. this blog will chronicle our adventures in painting, tiling, thrifting and decorating as we work to create a home that reflects our personalities and warms our little hearts. we are both passionate do-it-yourselfers who love to tackle big projects...and sometimes have trouble completing them. we have champagne taste...but hate shelling out the big bucks. add to that equation a 50-yr-old house and two enormous dogs, and we've got ourselves a real challenge.

the name of this blog was inspired thusly: our last name is stone. we both sometimes struggle with timelines (hence rolling at our own pace). and, like the stone in the old addage, we are gathering bits and pieces to feather our nest. if a rolling stone gathers no moss, we dilly-dally just enough to gather an eclectic and meaningful array.

this is how we roll...
