    Mom’s Bedroom

    Mom’s bedroom has been (and still is) a really fun project for me. Its the one room (with a door) that I have 100% control over. I wanted it to flow easily with the rest of the house, at least from the outside in, but that was the only real restriction. I went slightly darker…

  • Family.

    we just added another member. named after one of the best friends a guy like me (yong) can have. baby jake, aka bj, who is also named after the greatest lightweight mixed martial artist of all time, bj penn. rescued this little guy from the local humane society. we had been talking about a dog…

  • Bar Hopping.

    Bar Hopping.

    I wish I had taken some pics of Yong getting his Hulk on and taking down all the shelves and the closet. Alas, I did not. So we’re left with these: Sexy right? I know. Now all we need is a bar.

  • waffles.

    when in doubt, improvise.

  • Closet Sensation

    Closet Sensation

    So one thing I really wanted to tackle was my mom’s closet (which we share).

Especially his closet (see pg. 104), which was small but so well done. I had to scratch the Ikea bookcase…

  • Apologies.

    Sorry for the lack of updates. Work, life and taking on a lot projects does that to us. We’re working really hard to get as much done by February 6th, the day of our housewarming party. I’m working on mom’s room (did we mention she lives here too? :) ) which I will live vicariously…

  • Paint & Plans.

    Paint & Plans.

    We’ve finished painting the right side of the kitchen and added a second coat to the left side. I can’t even begin to explain how good it feels to get that done. It looks so clean now and finally starting to feel like a little bit of our own space. As far a future plans…

  • Getting Situated.

    Getting Situated.

    This was our new house a week ago: We’ve got most of our unpacking done. Gotten a good start on the painting with the living room completely done and about half of the kitchen. Still can’t convince Yong to let me paint the kitchen cabinets white (he has veto power), but I won’t give up!…

  • WE DID IT.

    word to eli porter. now, unpacking. back soon!
