These Fit Us To A Tee
We’re sticklers for observing anniversaries (and even dogiversaries and blogiversaries) and since cotton is the traditional two year anniversary theme, we though our second blogiversary would be the perfect time to (finally!) bring you the much requested YHL t-shirt!
We never fancied ourselves t-shirt designers, but after several requests and weeks of planning and prototyping, we’re excited to share the designs that we’ve proudly birthed (there was even a bit of lamaze-esque heavy breathing there at the end). We’ve whipped up two designs for the ladies – one that we simply call “Logo Love”…
… and one that we lovingly refer to as “Painted Love”.
And of course we can’t forget our “Hammer Love” version for the dudes…
…and even a sweet little “Puppy Love” dog tee for all of Burger’s virtual BFFs.
We hunted around a bit to find an amazing little local company (Affordabilitee, a spin on one of our favorite words) to print and provide all of these high-quality 100% cotton preshrunk tees for us, so they’re a cut above the usual mass-produced t-shirt. And we still worked hard to get the very best prices (we’re all about a deal), so all shirts can be snagged for $19 which includes free domestic shipping.
Oh, but we’re celebrating our blogiversary by applying a discount to ‘em right out of the gate. So you can get any of our new YHL shirts for just $17 for the rest of September (yup, that still includes free domestic shipping).
We truly wish we could dish every shirt out for $10 a pop, but alas, supporting the local guys and opting for high-quality shirts and screening comes with a few extra dollars attached to it. So mosey on over to our shop to check them out, and feel free to snag them at our special blogiversary rate. The lady and dog options do tend to run a wee bit small but we have a handy little sizing breakdown on each so you can suss out which tee will will do you (and your pet’s) home-improvement-loving body justice. Funnily enough, as a point of reference John, Burger and I all wear mediums.
And in summary: we’re beyond flattered at the interest you guys have shown in YHL tees (all your email, Twitter, Facebook and comment requests didn’t go unnoticed!), and we’re super excited that they’re finally here. You never fail to amaze us with your enthusiasm and support, so big virtual Burger licks go out to every last one of you.

This is freakin’ fanastic! I love it! I hope HGTV contacts you soon for a TV show and you betcha I’d watch it.
Update: John worked his Paypal magic (after a bit more heavy breathing on our end) and everything should be up and running for all shop orders (including our new tees). Thanks so much for bearing with us guys- and for your interest!

Sherry, I’ve been reading for months now, and right from the start, I noticed that you have FABULOUS eyebrows. I know it’s a weird thing to notice, trust me, I know. But, nevertheless, you have great eyebrows and it must be said.
I think you two are just about the cutest thing around and I love reading your site. Keep on keeping on!

cute tees! i like the paint splatter one!
one question, do they stretch out after wearing them for a while? womens tees tend to do that but mens don’t.
Hey Rachel,
That is so good to hear! Whew. Here I am wondering if I’ve overplucked or underplucked and you’ve been monitoring me all along and have such kind things to say. Thanks a million for being so sweet and random. Now if only John would let me pluck his. Just a little…

i’m SO excited about these. they would never have occurred to me…but i’m so glad they occurred to you two! and the other readers who requested them, of course! happy 2 year anniversary, young house love!
OMGoodness!!! Your t-shirts are TOOOOOOOOO cute! Burger is not only a pro on videos but a pro model too!! :)
LOVE the shirts!!! These will make great Christmas gifts to thank the people who have helped us renovate our condo :)
Hey Tania,
How cool would it be to have a YHL tee in Portugal?! Just email us (see the “contact us” botton on the sidebar?) so we can calculate an international shipping rate for you. And thanks so much for your interest!

Girl, where’s the black? That Painted Love design would look wonderful on black, and it would be ordered by me in a heartbeat!
Hey Sunny,
You know I looove a black tee. Unfortunately we had to select only a few colors for the launch (and to keep our prices down) so we opted to start with shirts in the palette of our site and our logo for now. Stay tuned for more options someday though!

Sherry,
I had to laugh because I just read the “eyebrow” comment, and was getting on here to make a very similar one. After all your pony tail FAQ’s…if your hair wasn’t in a pony tail, then how could we see the fabulous logo on the back of the new T’s? Point for you. ;)
The shirts look fantastic!
If you ever need another vendor, my boyfriend uses Blackcat in Charlottesville (boyfriend is a radio DJ with a show on stations around Virginia). With two colors, your mens shirts would be a bit cheaper (even if you used organic cotton or hemp). The other shirts would be just a few dollars cheaper.
They’ve been very good to use. The quality has been great…we’ve even seen a certain big name drummer wearing the shirt! :)
aw! so cute, i want one for my lil one. dogs deserve to be spoiled, they are so good to us.
I just bought one of each of the women’s shirts! I asked my officemate which one I should get and she said “Get both! You love those guys!” and how could I argue with that? haha
Thanks Briel! And thanks to everyone else who purchased one (or more!) of our tees. We’re so excited to be shipping so many across the country (and even the globe!) and we’ve already had to order more just to keep up with the demand. In short: you guys totally made our week!
Oh and feel free to send us photos of you guys rocking them around the world!
xo,
Sherry (& John)
These are extraordinary shirts! Simple but soo beautiful! I suggest that you also have a clothesline for babies too. :)
Oh no! So sorry for the ordering problems! John’s working on it as we speak. Thanks so much for your enthusiasm guys! Here’s hoping we’re back up and running soon…
