The Blue Door

 I love color. Who knew? When we moved to this house I knew I wanted the door to be blue. I just found out my sister is painting hers red. I may want a red door soon but for now, it's blue and I love it. I didn't realize until I started painting it that the tiles we hung in the entry are trimmed with almost the same blue. They were a gift from my parents in law heart, who carted them all the way from Spain to Germany. This might not seem like such a big deal but this is not a light weight peice! 

It's one of my favorite things. The door looks so much better than it did before. 

 Someone is smiling a lot and trying to tell me things.

That Wallpaper Has Got To Go

 I think this wall paper was as old as the house... which is really unappetizing in a kitchen!

Yes you can be this excited about a full size fridge! You Know Who made jokes about my lack of cooking.... Who would not be motivated by this appliance? Space = organization = happy creating. 

Of course I have yet to prove this theory....

What a huge improvement no wall paper and shiny appliances can make! Of course not everything goes as planned... Both of these appliances had to be replaced! The icemaker went out in the refrigerator and some last minute mind changing had me calling Lowe's for an upgrade on the stove... thank goodness! Have I mentioned I love Lowe's? It's definately a decision that I won't regret!

So much work to be done.....

Our New Home

I've decided to begin at the beginning. This is how it looked when Jess and Uber found it for us. The process was long and arduous on their part. We can't thank them enough but we are constantly trying to bribe them into helping us finish this project. 

There is work to be done.

We're in a nice older neighborhood. Not too far from lovely things, like the beach. Care to join us?
