drumroll, please!

After three months of work, a lot more money than we planned to spend, and far too much stress [yes, our original contractor walked off the job, unannounced!], my boyfriend and I officially have lived in our first house for one week - exactly! We are still digging through boxes to find our necessities, but the place is becoming more and more homey as the days [and even moments] pass. We've made so many changes to all parts of the house, but the kitchen was our major project. We stripped it down to nothing, and created a space that we love. Although it looks nothing like our inspiration, it is absolutely our happy place.

Check out these shocking photos...all taken from the same perspective, three months later.

printspiration

In attempting to decorate our new office, my boyfriend and I want to make it a place to be inspired, to create, and to relax [without being too feminine, of course - a concern of his!]. Our first purchase, long ago, was this print, to remind us to keep it simple.

Caitlin posted this, created by francesca, and I think it will be the perfect addition. Gandhi always gives the perfect advice, doesn't he? :)

2010 snapshots

Happy 2011!

2010 was a great year. I don't think I've ever been happier personally or professionally, and I credit the amazing people I am surrounded by, the positive vibes I have been attempting to throw out into the universe, & a little side of luck. Life is not perfect [as it never will be, and as nothing ever is!], but I am pretty darn content. A good place to be, if you ask me. Cheers to enjoying the simple things in 2011!
