Garage Mahal – New Foundations

My garage is the cleanest it’s ever been. Hopefully it won’t stay that way for long. Yesterday, I had Garage Floor Coating of Atlanta start the very last step in installing my epoxy flooring. Specifically, they started installing my epoxy flooring. It’s been a very long time coming. We rented a Pod sometime in November […]

The Inside Story

I’m a better photographer than this. That’s my first and lasting thought as I take pictures of the interior of my house. The colors are horrible. My light browns are green. My terracotta is Santa Claus red. My dark walnut stain looks like red mahogany. My wasabi green island is mint green. Then I shoot […]

Our New Home!

We’ve closed and we’re starting to move in! We are excited and just thrilled with the house. It’s has that brand new house smell (polyurethane) and while it is our dream home, it has not been without its drama, right off the bat. As we closed, the builder said that he was not happy with […]

Closing Time!

If These Walls Could Talk

They’d probably just say WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA and they would eat and poop and sleep. They’re only a couple days old now, and I think they look so good in drywall-paper grey and mud white. It’s amazing what a little bit ton of drywall will do to make the rooms feel like rooms and the walls less […]

Hooray!

Charlie is very very happy that the sun is out! He took his toolbox to the new house to get to work, while mommy and the builder walked through to check out all the in-wall and in-ceiling work before the drywall goes up. We’ve got blocking in the music room for my guitars, feature lighting […]

The Walls They Are A Changin’

Photos!!! It’s a really lovely porter potty. The yellow reminds me of the color that hickory leaves turn right before Thanksgiving. It’s just a little off level, but that just makes it exciting. This picture is actually about a week old. A lot has happened since I took this picture. For example, I went to […]

Under Contract!

There’s our pretty pretty house. Isn’t it pretty? Now on to the aforementioned scotch-powered wit: I meant to post much more often than this, but I have some very good excuses. In no particular order of importance or gravity, but numbers are aesthetically pleasing: 1) Work is hard and it takes up my time. 2) […]
