well hello there!

So, I've been kicking around the idea of starting a (new) blog for a while now. There are so many great blogs out there where we (yes we, even if Brian doesn't admit it, he likes it too) can spend hours getting inspiration for the house, and we've done quite a few projects as a result. Much like the super-cute couple over at Young House Love, we are in love with our first house. I was poking around their blog yesterday, and it hit me that we really haven't done as good of a job as I would like in keeping a visual record of all the projects we've done in the house. I mean, as soon as we moved in we painted every room, all of the trim, and all of the doors (yes, the unusually tall 8-foot doors.) And by golly, it sure looks beautiful here now, but I can't help but think it would look even more beautiful if we had some pictures of the ugly trim before to compare too. Enter our blog. Last night, while the boy was watching ESPN (life lesson: if you really want something, ask while he's watching sports, he's more likely to say yes!), I convinced him that we should start a blog to chronicle our adventures in DIY. And since we just got engaged (yay!), probably our adventures in DIYing our wedding too! It might not always be pretty, but it's always fun.
