You Asked, We Answered
As bloggers we answer plenty of questions (especially when they have to do with painting cabinets, upholstering headboards and hanging art). But we wanted to take some time out of this week’s blogiversary extravaganza to answer a different breed of question: the personal one. Taking a cue from some of our other favorite bloggers who opened themselves up to a little Q & A, we recently asked our readers on Facebook and Twitter to ask us anything, particularly things not about home improvement or the blog.
We ended up with some familiar queries (“will you two just have a baby already?” “have you been approached for a TV show?”) and some unexpected ones too (“do you ever swear?” “who is the messy one?”). Needless to say, they all kept us chattering away. So check out the video clip below for Part 1 of Getting To Know The Real Petersiks (there were so many questions we broke ‘em up into two videos, the next of which we’ll share next week) or catch it here on YouTube:
Did one of our answers spawn a new question? Or did you think of something else entirely that you just gotta ask? Leave your query as a comment and we just might end up filming a third installment someday. After all, we’re Chatty Cathys when you get us going…

That video was awesome! Thanks for doing that! So much fun :) And, I am a part of the ponytail club, too! I only wear it down when I feel like blowdrying and straightening it..which is such a pain! :)
It takes a lot to make me laugh but your videos are hilarious! You guys are two peas in a pod and are so genuine. I loved Burger’s role too.
P.S. Would you consider getting another dog? Burger needs a playmate doesn’t he?
Hey Melissa,
Good question! See, Burger’s not so good with other dogs. We try and try but they just stress him out and his little tail is permanently tucked under his belly. Sometimes he even whines- and, dare I say it- wets himself with fright. Such a sad sight! We do feel lucky that because I get to work from home at least he has some company all day and doesn’t seem too lonely (he loves chasing his friends the squirrels around the backyard for the better part of the afternoon). So for now he’s an only child, but who knows what the future holds…
xo,
Sherry
Loved the video!!!!! I actually did a real LOL at the end. I loved Burger talking/barking to all of us! So cute! Great job!
OMGoodness… I just about died laughing at Burger’s response! Classic! He’s such a pro. I think he needs to have his own show. ;)
Hey guys, loved the video! So cute. It actually reminds me of my husband and myself.
I also hate the whole “when are you going to have a baby” question. The only people who aren’t on our case about it are my parents. That’s just because they feel they are too young for grandchildren. They say the grandpets will do for now!
Hey Jessica,
We actually used to carry magazine monograms (like the P pictured behind us) in our shop, but unfortunately everything in there is limited edition so they’ve come and gone. We do have big things planned for the shop (and always add new stuff) so feel free to check back and see what we have in store. Pun intended. Har har.

Love the video (and secretly pleased mine was the first question!!)…
Can’t wait for the second installment.
New question here: Do you remember some of the “regulars” who post comments? I see certain names on the comments fairly often, but I imagine that after a while, all the comments are a blur.
What do your “real life” friends think about all of this? I imagine that certain activities (shopping, eating out at a cool restaurant, taking a garden tour) give you ideas for new blog topics. Do they “get” how big this blog is?
LOVED this video! And for what it’s worth, I would totally watch a show about you guys.
Love the video and your blog! Happy Blogiversary!
I do have a question – do you have a daily schedule you stick to so everything gets done? Like, 9am – 10am: read email, 10am-12pm: blog posts, etc, etc? Just curious how you do so much. Is everyday the same, or do you mix it up according to what you feel like doing? And how often do you get off track or take breaks?
Thanks for all your inspirations!
funny! plus i’m glad to know that i’m not the only one that has to nag my hubby to get things done around the house. :)
Okay, I finally had time to watch your video uninterrupted, and I was laughing out loud throughout the whole thing! I especially loved the Burger part. :) You two are so talented. I hope the right show really does come along for you sometime soon!
Great video! My question is: Is there anything you’ve done in your house (remodeling or decorating) you both didn’t agree on or had to talk the other into?
You guys rock! Love the blog!!!
You guys are Too. Freaking. Cute.
I have trouble thinking up questions that aren’t totally inappropriate, so that’s all I have to say. A-dorable.
GIMME THAT $500!! I’ll spend mine on lots of paint and crown moulding!
Morning Y’all!
I’m rather new to site. Am loving the videos! To quote Bruno from Dancing with the Stars:
“You should be a ride at Disneyland”.
Thank you for ALL you do. Keep up the good work :)
Thanks for sharing…you guys are hilarious! Can’t wait to see part two. :) I happened on your blog a couple months ago, and have quickly become a fan. Keep up the good work!
Hey guys! I just recently came across your site and I am hooked! You’re very charismatic and a joy to watch/read. I was stunned to find out that you cut your own hair Sherry! I’d love to see a DIY Haircut video. Haircuts are not cheap and all I ever need is a trim. I’ve always been tempted, but have never had the guts to go about it.
So yes, this video spawned my questions “What prompted you to start cutting your own hair and can you please show us how you do it?” okay and one for the fellah “Do you DIY haircuts as well?” and Burger “Woof, arrr….grr ruff!?”
and one more thing to mention…..Sherry, I adore the way you look at John….I can see the love there and that is awesome!
Aw thanks Christa! I actually do cut John’s hair too. And Burger is a no-groomer-necessary dog, which we love. I guess we’re a low maintenance family. I’m not really sure there’s a method to my hair cutting madness that can easily be demonstrated but on the next “haircut day” I’ll try to figure out if I can quantify what I’m doing in any way!

I just caught this – so fun to watch. Thanks for the behind the scenes look and for answering a question I myself have often wondered – do you ever swear? LOL Your positive energy is contagious. Thanks for sharing it!
You guys are so disgustingly cute it makes me sick. lol, But i enjoy watching you guys. I hope to find some one who loves me as much as you guys love eachother. Thanks for the laughs!
Too funny! My internet was slow so the anticipation was building! It was great hearing the answers, you two are such an adorable couple… I mean family ;-)
Love it! Love it! Loved Burger at the end.
