Read MoreRoss (my husband) is a mysterious member of The Gold Hive and you folks are curious about him! He travels for work a lot so he doesnโt often make appearances on the blog or Instagram, but heโs around here and there. I invited Instagram followers to ask questions for Ross (and for the two of us), so we sat down to answer your questions!

I had a deadline for making a pie the day that I wanted to film, so I baked a lemon meringue treat while answering your Qs. The vid is 20 minutes, so maybe watch it on your lunch break? Or maybe while eating a pie?
Read MoreWhat Iโve been up to - from gardening, to film photography, and the books and shows weโre enjoying. Plus a house tour that requires a closer look, grass seed to always have on hand, cedar shake excitement, historic window screens, and the privilege Iโm reminded of daily.
Hammocks, cookbooks, gardening, sewing, and the other things Iโve been up to on my impromptu break, and more.
Where Iโve been, shooting on film, my dream house, retro costume inspiration, energy rebates, a magic cake, textiles I donโt need but want, a lampshade DIY, my best defense against mosquitos, a new podcast, whatโs killing home remodelers, best decision-making advice, overheard parenting, Little Women on acid home tour, best marble etch remover, and more.
If you like florals and color, this bathroom is for you. If you donโt, well, maybe scroll through and youโll be converted? Or not? Either way, hereโs the reveal of a bathroom addition thatโs finally here - after a whole three years of construction.
My baby is two! Timeโs flyingโฆ we wish we could slow down these yearsโฆ I canโt believe sheโs twoโฆ and all those other clichรฉ things to say. We celebrated her second trip around the sun in our backyard with a small gathering of friends.
What Iโm binge watching, the things I ordered for summertime fun, an incredible legacy, ranking films, a dozen things to say to your kids daily, design decisions, sibling bonds, and more.
I have such love for my historic house, but Iโve shamefully been neglecting the exterior paint. The tired finish was peeling and the faded colors did no justice to the architectural beauty of my 1915 craftsman bungalow. It was time for a change - a transformation that would honor the home's history while infusing it with fresh energy.
Ashley has been restoring her craftsman bungalow since early 2015. The Gold Hive chronicles the journey of DIYs, restorations, renovations, and stories.
I'm Ashley, a type-A homebody fixing up my historic home at a snailโs pace in California. I share home improvement DIYs, tips for sustainable living, and renovation stories - all while aiming to add more color and present real, lived-in spaces.

Margot is getting an upgraded room to make space for baby sister in the nursery.
With an additional family member, we want to shuffle the rooms of our 3-bedroom house around. The one off the living room was being used as my home office, so now itโs time to convert it into an actual bedroom. The initial thought was to give this room to baby sister and keep Margot in her room. But we ultimately decided to put the baby in the room designed to be a nursery, then convert the home office into a space designed for a bigger kid. Plus, the office has more windows, and is right off the living room (Margotโs playroom) so itโs better suited for all the daytime play, whereas the single-window nursery is cozier for lots of daytime naps.
