General Policies & Stuff:
-- What’s your policy on advertising?
We are accepting pre-approved
sidebar ads. However, we will only accept stuff that we believe in, love, need,
think is amazing or can’t also live without unless we want to live a sad life
of misery and ridicule. If your ad meets those extremely stringent criteria,
then we’d love to feature it on Porch & Lemonade. Contact us about it!
Please note that we
are no politicians, we have a 100% transparency policy when it comes to the
site content. You will never need to worry about if we are being compensated to
write about something, or if any of the content is sponsored.
-- Can I use photos or link to this blog?
Ummm – yeah! But
please don’t take an entire entry. If you want to link to anything or use the
photos, please credit them clearly with “photo from Porch & Lemonade” and
link back directly to the specific post.
And when you do –
please send us a link! We would love to see where our stuff ends up.
Want to use anything
in print – please contact us first. It wont be a problem, we just want to know
where and what its for and make sure we can provide you with the best quality
and highest resolution photos etc. possible.
-- Will you write about my product?
We might! If its cool
and it fits the content of our site. Like if you sell land minds or strange
child killing chemicals or sexual toys shaped like past US presidents we wont
reply, but otherwise please feel free to email us as we would love to hear
about your shop/site/product.
-- Can I link to Porch and Lemonade on my site?
No. Haha… wait – I
lie. Yes!! Please do! That would be great.
House Stuff:
-- What paint colors did you use in your house?
All the paint unless
noted was from Sherwin Williams. Its not crazy expensive, its great quality and
we love the historical collection.

-- How do you know how to do all this housey handy
stuff?
Confession time… Mike
does not own a toolkit. Michelle does. It’s pink. Removalists, contractors and
other workman look at Mike with pity. And point.
So how do we figure
all this stuff out? We look it up on the google-machine (internet). We find
videos and tutorials and other awesome blogs and feel ashamed that we have no
clue and then through trial, error, swearing and self-loathing we figure it
out. We usually do test things first so we can mess it totally up and not wreak
something in our 90-year-old house and perfect the process (well… you know what
I mean) and then do it for reals.
We have no DIY knowledge
or home improvement skills. Poo throwing monkeys are more likely to be the next
Marth Stewart than we are. We rented until we got this house and the extent of
home improvement prior to this was hanging art on walls. So if we can do it, so
can you.
-- I just moved in with (insert person here ie.
Husband, girlfriend, roommate, random stranger) and we don’t see eye-to-eye on
decorating stuff. How do you deal with this?
Wait until they go
out! Haha no! The main thing is compromise and talking about it. We don’t
always have the same taste in things; I might see stuff (like this chair at
Restoration Hardware) that Michelle hates.
So no chair for me. Sad.
But that’s OK. It’s our house, so we continue to look for
stuff that makes us both happy and
excited enough to want to throw wallets/purses at salespeople and take the item
home forever.
