I work full time in a demanding corporate job and also decided to take the plunge and start an MBA program last summer. Having a dedicated and organized space for all the work and school stuff going on was a top priority. I also love crafting so having a full room for all of this is a huge treat. Somehow I managed to convince the hubby that the first room is the house that had to be 90% done would be the office/craft room. Yes, even before the kitchen...I have my priorities straight ;)Our story … [Read more...]
stamping away
Way before we closed I started browsing ideas for the moving announcements I was going to send out. I knew despite the fact that I make invitations and cards it would be best to just order some since we would be busy with renovations. I browsed Tiny Prints and Etsy and while I found quite a few that I liked, nothing really won me over. Etsy is a very, very dangerous place to spend time in. So many distractions and so many things to stick in my cart :) While on one of my daily Etsy day dreaming … [Read more...]
we’ve moved!
I'm sorry it took so long but I have pictures for your patience! So obviously the house is still completely upside down and I can't believe I'm actually posting these for the world to see. You know what though? All of us who have moved know what your house/apartment looks like for the first few weeks after a move so I'm embracing the mess. Please note, I'm OCD in my cleaning tendencies so this is a huge step for me! Most everything you see in the photos is not in the place it will eventually … [Read more...]
bye, bye litterbox
I've never been so excited to pour cement. Well, I actually did not pour any of it since each bag of cement weighs 80lbs and it took 16 bags to fill this sucker up. I'm a good supervisor though :)So thankful not to have a giant random planter and waterfall in my family room! In other great news, we moved in this weekend! Once I locate the camera cable you'll get to see what the place currently looks like in all of its messy, middle of renovation glory. Thanks for following Directions Not … [Read more...]
saying goodbye
As we finish packing and start loading the truck, I'm having a really hard time saying goodbye to our current house. This was our first place as a couple and we've lived here for 8 years. As if that wasn't hard enough, this was actually the house I spent most of my childhood in. You see, this house was my grandmother's. It was the first house my family bought when they came from Cuba and I spent most of time there as a kid while my grandmother took care of me.Here is a pint-sized version of me … [Read more...]
packing, packing, packing
I packed my first two boxes back in December before we closed. The husband laughed at me and told me we had plenty of time. I wanted to get a head start knowing that the renovations would suck up all of our time. I've tried to pack a box or two a week but have failed miserably so now we are in the mad dash to pack before the move this weekend.We are only 15 blocks away from our current place so the move is really just a short distance but packing up 8 years worth of stuff is a little … [Read more...]
