Our Paint Colors

Christa — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 00:16:46 +0000

I’m excited to be sharing the paint colors we decided on before we move! We have accepted an offer on our current home so the move day is drawing closer, but hopefully not too soon since there are a lot of dusty projects left to do. Ideally, those projects will be complete and I’ll do [...]

Our Plaid House

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to post. When we made our list of to-do’s before officially moving into our new home we knew it was a tall order, but we also thought we had a little more endurance to pull it off quicker and with much less needed rest. We [...]

Progress on 22nd Lane

Christa — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:23:22 +0000

We have accomplished a lot the last couple of weeks on 22nd lane. It is a dusty mess, but we have done everything ourselves (with my handyman brother’s help – who is our new neighbor, woohoo!). This is what Kevin’s future office looked like after he tore down all the tile from the previous owner’s [...]

Nope, that post title is not my original idea but an ode to a post written by The Nester a couple of years ago. For me, her post said. it. all.

The new house…

We are working on the new house and packing up this one at the same time. We are busy but excited! Excited to be closer to school, reorganize, and downsize. This is the fifth house we’ve lived in in our 13 years of marriage, and I’m ready to just. park. it. The kitchen is very [...]

After an entire year…

Christa — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:49:48 +0000

We are finally moving! So, here’s the story: we put an offer in on a home almost a year ago and after 10 long months of back and forth the banks didn’t approve the sale. We truly thought that house was “the one,” and waited with baited breath for those 10 long grueling months. A [...]
