I am so in love with our new windows. When we opened up the kitchen, we needed to move the windows because the ones in the former breakfast nook, which is now just part of the kitchen, were below counter height. All of the main floor windows in our house are original, with the leaded …
Goodbye apartment living! It’s been a good 12 years but it’s time to move on to a house! I love this video from when we first moved into our apartment. We built our first home together here, learned to live as two, and made some great memories. Like the time we stood on the roof as it …
Well I’ve been a horrible at this blog thing lately. I need to be more diligent about setting aside time for writing. Things have been a little crazy with the remodel, wedding planning, work travels, etc. But no excuses. A lot has happened on the house, though it isn’t the most glamorous stuff – electrical, …

The new arch is up! When we decided to open the wall up between the kitchen and dining room we knew we wanted to find a solution to maintain the coved ceiling in the dining room. Lance suggested we mirror the arch between the dining and living room (the living room also has a coved …
I’m still working on my green thumb. And by working I mean I don’t have one and I haven’t really been working on it. My other half, Lance, seems to think he can change this. One Christmas he gave me an herb growing set, with a planter box and seeds. I managed to get one …
So we bought a house. If you know anything about Seattle, you know that is no easy feat. The housing market has blown up in recent years due to the growth of tech companies like Amazon and Google. It’s not quite as bad as the Bay Area but it’s getting close. We put in three …

This year has brought exciting new life changes: getting engaged, jumping into wedding planning, and buying our first home. Think we have …
