Rainfall, Upstate New York


Beautiful photographic print by Chikara Umihara. it's from 20x200 - a website that sells art prints for as little as $20! We have a few from there already, and I love them so much. I wish this one wasn't sold out. I'd love to see it everyday in our home. Can't you just hear the rain coming down?



No guest of mine...

I want to start the day out with a few photos of how the guest bedroom looked before we moved in. Take a good, long look.

In case you were wondering






The commute to the new house rules. :) 90% of the time I think it was worth moving to the other side of the bay just for the ferry ride back and forth. So beautiful.

These used to be blackened:







See below for what this cabinet used to look like. Tocco is a DIY genius. He fixed it!



Check out those brackets:


Lots of ideas for this sweet cubby for the future:

Weekend

This weekend was a little bit blah. Everyone's a little under the weather, and the rain is incessant. I think we're on 7 days and nights of nothing but at this point. Of course it's good and we need it, but it's getting a little tough. 




The good side is that things are happening in the garden now; it's pretty sweet to explore the back and see what's coming up. I especially like the neon orange guys that have shot through. We haven't planted anything of our own yet, but we're getting there.



 One major weekend highlight: Tocco kicked ass at some very custom basement baseboards. I think they may actually deserve their own little post one day.



The garage was transformed over the weekend into a workshop complete with a massive new rotary cutter we bought this weekend... that thing is legit. I'm a little scared of it. :) 




What else? The Olympics. More rain. Keeping cozy.



Around the house


that funny rabbit hole is from T drilling a spot for my cords.

I hope the rain goes away next weekend. We need a sunny beach trip asap!
