Our House
Our current home is the second home we've purchased together. It is a typical suburban 1960s-70s ranch home; built in 1974 it has 2368 sq.ft., 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a 2 car garage. When we purchased the home, it needed a LOT of updates and repairs. It has been our project since we closed on August 27, 2004.
We've put a lot of work into it, and still have a lot that we want to do. But, we love our home and plan to stay here for a long time. So, check it out as we continue to fix up our favorite money pit :)
Christmas 2007
This year's decorations are pretty much the same as last year, except for a little baby proofing. I have so much Christmas stuff that I told myself I wouldn't buy anything new this year. While I did not keep to that completely, I was pretty good. Of course, I can think of a dozen new things I would like to do. One thing that is new (though I had everything already, so I didn't have to buy) is my breakfast nook display. It is centered around a 1940s Tom and Jerry drink set that we inherited from Tony's grandmother. I am so excited to have this vintage piece, and I'm even thinking about collecting more vintage Christmas pieces.
Fall 2007
This fall I added a few different things. It's not quite a Pottery Barn photo spread, but I'm getting there! I'm also trying to get creative with my photo angles. Tony's been wanting a hay bale for years, and we got one this year. He wants to keep it up for Christmas to... we'll see.
CHRISTMAS 2006
No snow this year, but since it was Alex's first Christmas, we did more decorating than usual
Before and After
It's been 2 years since we moved in. We have done a lot to update the house and make it our own.
CHRISTMAS 2004
We actually got snow for Christmas! And it lasted almost 3 days!!
