It's not pictured. But we love it. Just waiting to hear back what the final price per month offer will be. Fingers crossed. We're excited. (second photo taken with the hipstamatic iPhone app.)

Three years ago, Paul stayed at the Navy Lodge on Coronado as he got some extra summer training. This was before I moved out to Maryland, but after I had decided I would. I came down to visit and spend a week at the Lodge with him. Our last night together, we swung on these…

Paul called me yesterday afternoon for no other reason then to say he's excited to have our own place and start cooking again. Me too, babe. We have been out of our own kitchen and away from our stuff for seven weeks and it's going to be so nice to be settled to start making…

The wall over our kitchen table has been suffering a case of the blahhhs since February. I was finally inspired by the letterpress prints from the swap to get some mats and hang some art. From left to right : my practice wedding flowers blown up to 8×10 and printed at home on white cardstock,…

I really wish I could say the above photos are a before + after of our kitchen chairs. But actually I only have one of the four done. And actually, I only have enough fabric left to do one more. This was one of those projects that I closed my eyes and jumped in without…
