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…

Yard Work.

So we decided we needed to attack the yard if we were ever going to finish it in time to enjoy in the Summer. So very slowly, the weeds are coming out. We (read: Yong, because he’s done most of the work so far) typically stop when the bin is full, lol. Baby steps.

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.

Closet Sensation

So one thing I really wanted to tackle was my mom’s closet (which we share). After flipping through the December issue of Lonny Mag, I found myself drooling over Anthony Gianacakos’ tiny new york apartment. 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.

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.

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!…
