It’s here! The day when I finally unveil our home office to you. I know I’ve been going on and on about it for months, but it’s really been quite the labor of love and a gradual acquiring of all the pieces we wanted in here. It started off as a storage room, really. As [...]

Perks.
This past weekend we took one of the biggest steps yet along the road of homeownership: we bought patio furniture. (And a grill!) For many reasons, we had been majorly dragging our feet when it came to getting deck furniture, the main one being that it is so. flippin’. expensive. Seriously, have you checked out [...]
One week later.
It’s hard to believe that it was only one week ago today that we found out the awful news and spent the day in the ER. I feel like months have passed since then. Maybe I just feel that much older. I took (or was given, I should say), this entire week to myself to [...]

While our house still feels very much like a work-in-progress (next project? The office!), there are some spaces, little corners, shelves, furniture gatherings and tablescapes (Tablescapes?! Dear god, I have been reading too many design blogs.) that I just love. It helps to look at them after I pass by the wreckage that is our [...]

On making dents. The good kind.
I was planning a whole post for tonight about the move. About how stressful it can be, the way it forces you to take stock of your entire life. And about how rewarding it can be, how unbelievably warm and comforting it can be to set up your new house and by extension, your new [...]
It’s official.
We’re homeowners. That’s it! Get out yer champagne (we certainly did) because we’re officially homeowners. We closed on Monday. Monday the 19th. Exactly one month to the day after our wedding (and also, coincidentally, my parents’ 25th wedding anniversary – Hi Mom! Hi Dad! Love you!). And honestly, while I feel great, while I’m proud [...]
