What Day Is It?

Tuesday, right?

Wow. That was an actual guess and I just checked and it's literally Wednesday. I will never be able to prove this to you all, but take my word for it.

We are currently in the stage of this job that I like to call "The Total Worst". That is to say, the total worst part of a situation that overall is amazing, so still not the world's worst, but you know, the awful middle part of something that's pretty great. Did I mention I'm high on floor stain fumes?

The coming together stage feels incredibly close, but as of today we are basically camping indoors, which I've been trying to think of a word for. If glam camping is glamping then we are... Riving? (rough living) Hamping? (Home camping) Seriously, it's the fumes.

I had big hopes to keep this blog orderly and compartmentalized but today I throw caution to the wind. Which according to the weather forecast will also be filled with snow any minute now.

Instead, enjoy this scattered glimpse into our lives (and the house) today. Everything you see is exactly how it really is.

A new kitchen in the works. And PS it's going to be beautiful. 

The future home of one very amazing sink.

Can't wait to get some paint on this wall.

Fire hazards and coffee making.

An old newspaper found behind the cabinets. And yes, those are The Beatles.

Wish list.

Quarantine floor refinishing area. Keds on guard.

One day this will be a dining room.

A door is born.

These floors need some TLC. But I still love them.

The new door. Even better from the outside. 

Refinishing floors means no dust which means, no heat. Yay!

Upstairs bathroom gets a make-over.

One day I will take a warm bath in here.

Sweet homeless dresser.

The great divide & small bedroom #1.

Pillow storage and small bedrooms #2 and 3.

The master bedroom. On the way to perfection.

Plaster makes everything better.

Winter view from the sunroom. Sun nowhere to be found.

Where I'm sitting. Right this very moment.

International Press!

I have no idea how people find us for the most part, (which absolutely sounds like a sign of a doomed non-existant PR plan) but how exciting when they do!

We had to call the post office to persuade them to honk in front of the house with our mail since we don't yet have a mailbox and Brenda "doesn't walk up to houses anymore", but look what the...post office truck? dragged in!

Our first international feature in Suddeneutshe Zeitung Magazin!



And if you happen to pick up the Nummber 39 | 28.September 2012 issue, you'll see us on pages 14 and 15 for our lath wall and chalkboard bathroom. 






We're so excited to have somehow spread to Germany and so honored to be featured on a page with so many amazing design ideas. Check out one our favorites below. That ornate outline above the fireplace is a lamp cord!

Come on. That's simply brilliant.
