Almost three years to the day of moving in to our little shack, I'm tickled pink that our bedroom is finally done. It's gone through many stages since my arrival: from an ugly, hairy caterpillar adorned with peach walls and a rustic wallpaper border to a chryssalis with hastily painted tan walls and album cover artwork to a baby butterfly full of more shades of blue than I ever thought possible, and then finally it's final form.

It's been a labor of love. We refurbished my Grandma's old bedroom set from the 1950's , painted the walls, stripped the carpet and had new flooring installed, opened up the closet area by removing the door and hanging linens, purchased a new bed and bedding, and spent hours looking for just the right accessories.

I'm really happy that I finally have fully completed room (others are close, and all are vastly improved, but this is the only one that I can look at and not see anything that needs to be changed/repaired/destroyed), and we did it all for under $1000 (not including the bed itself, which was expensive but crucial to my happiness.)I really haven't wanted to do for the past couple of days, except curl up on my bed with a book and sneak in an afternoon nap. In case you were wondering, Cooper seems to approve.

We Took The Bait

We Took The Bait came about one lazy summer night in a fit of boredom mistaken for brilliance. After suffering through numerous late night infomercials and consuming copious amounts of cheap domestic beer, we (Jeremy & Jessica) decided that we owed it to the world to buy and review all the television order products that seem too good to be true. Yes, we realize that many of those late night commercials are designed for suckers, and we’re volunteering to take the bait so that you fine people don’t have to.

If it chops, mops, slices, dices, or can solve a home repair crisis, we’re going to buy it, try it, and then private eye it. Bet you didn’t know we were such talented freestylers too, eh?

Just a disclaimer- we are in no way affiliated with any of the companies that manufacture, produce, distribute, or market the products that we review, so you don’t have to worry about us being biased in any way. Although our reviews are intended to be humorous and are often delivered tongue-in-cheek, we don’t assume we’re going to hate the products we order. In fact, we’re both suckers for the glowing drone of the late night commercial, which is why we’ve decided to take those as-seen-on-TV goodies for a test drive.

We rate the products we review in three areas: quality, delivery, and overall experience. The more hooks a product receives, the higher we recommend it. We’d never tell anyone not to buy a product that we review, even if we think it’s about as useful as a round fork. On the contrary, we provide links to the product page and encourage all our readers to make up their own minds about the junk, I mean items, that we try out.

I'll still continue to update here as well, as I wouldn't want to dissappoint my reader (hi Mom!), but check us out if you have the time!
