I can't believe it's right around the corner. Our little guy will be turning 1! We're planning an animal themed fete to ring in his first year. Soyoung from Dogear Press helped us design this interactive invite (unfortunately the links don't show up on blogger) and Kelly from Studio DIYis helping us with the concepting (craft paper pinwheels and spray painted plastic animals are on the agenda)....

I know a number of you have asked or have been wondering: Where have they been living through this whole ordeal of buying a house and renovating? Well now that we're settled in Millburn, I feel a little more comfortable sharing our accomodations for the past three months (and giving you some understanding of why I am SO relieved to be in our house even though it is nowhere near done). Our Jersey... Read more

So, a few more photos from the past couple of days. A lot of progress since the last update earlier this week. YES, we are still moving in on Saturday. YES, there is still a lot to be done in the next 24 hours. It will by no means be finished. But it should be ready enough for us to move in. Today they did the last coat of poly on the floors, installed the plumbing, refinished the bathtub, fixed... Read more

My husband rushed to my defense: "You would be surprised, Babyman.

Well, not much time for blogging lately. Today was spent rushing around fixing issues with kitchen cabinet measurements, purchasing a new sink (in lieu of the one that was mis-ordered by the showroom) in time for counter top templating, and dealing with a lost drivers license that was later found. We move in on Saturday and there is A LOT to be done before then. Here are a few photos of the house... Read more

Yes, that's what I'm calling our amazing living room built-in that's happening. Prior to construction that wall looked like this.This is what it will look like when it's all said and done (plus a few accessories, books and some window treatments). The built-in-behemoth houses a coat closet, AC registers, window seats, AV equipment, lighting, bookshelves, and a TV. I think the only thing that's... Read more
