Skylights for the Dogs

The dogs grew weary of the constant barrage of rain that would pour down the coal chutes into their room in the cellar, so we've finally decided to do something about it (sorry front porch, masonry work, and servants' wash house/garage, you will all have

Deconstruction, Rehabilitation, Demolition and Rebuilding

We've been home now for almost 2 months, and yet, we still aren't done replacing furniture and decor, but we are well on our way. Right now, it's just a matter of playing the insurance game, buying what we can afford, turning in receipts, waiting for

We Are Home

There's definitely more work to do (the kitchen has no plumbing, the replacement rugs have yet to show up, the house has no guttering, and most importantly, of course, my theater equipment is still all boxed away :), but, since this past Saturday was

Cornucopia of Color

The house has now been completely painted on the inside. If you had seen the house after we renovated it the first time, you'll know that we enjoyed having a color for each room. We went back with the same idea, though, now that the house is a bit more

An Exercise in Patience

The goal was to re-create the original wallpaper in our foyer that came down with the walls. What I have left is to finish the artwork inside each emblem, which is proving to be a huge pain. Here's a quick comparison: I've also got it down to the core

Holiday Card Recycling

We definitely phoned this one in. Take last year's holiday postcard, swap out the dogs (and even leave in the replacement Santa face), and instant 2008 holiday postcards. Annabel has grown quite a bit over the past year. Here's last year's card for a

Wallpaper Treasure Hunt

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to track down a place to purchase this wallpaper. Even though we've removed the wallpaper from every other room in the house, it has remained in tact in the foyer as we attempted to keep something original

Sneak Peak Saturday

Today hosted some great events in downtown New Albany to take sneak peaks into current restoration efforts downtown. I must say, the building at 213 Pearl Street is amazing to look at. Who would have thought all of that was behind the metal facade? We

Birthday Dreams of Pink Spartans

After a marathon (there's a pun only a geek will get) session of digitally developing photos, I'm finally caught up. Word of warning, no photos of Justin in this post, as those are now signed, sealed and delivered and are now in Tabitha's hands, so you

The New Lens Has Arrived (that was quick)

Yeah, it got here much sooner than I expected, and needless to say, I burned up my lunch break pretty quick. My favorite part, I must say, other than the exaggerated depth of field, is that it rocks at photos under natural lighting, so it makes it much

Happy Holidays from the Pyrenees

Yes, we are those dog people. Scary, isn't it? Though, at least we don't make them wear clothes (except a sweater, and that was just once, and Carson refuses to speak about the experience :)

One Down, Three More to Go...

I'm currently smack dab in the middle of the process of stripping about 5 layers of paint off of the bathtub exterior (including all four legs). Here's a nice before shot of a leg: Then here's the 3 hours worth of work later: I seriously don't look forward

Operation: Bathroom Demolition

With work on the exterior of the house nearing completion (though, no where near complete, just a state of completion forced upon us by weather and what funds we have available to us), we've decided to let our insatiable urge to live in a construction

It's Just Like Camping :)

You know, when you have to unzip the door to get out :P We are thinking about adding some blood splatter and caution tape to spice it up for Halloween :D
