Staying on Track

posted on March 5, 2013

We’re definitely staying on “track” in the back of the house as I continue to work on sheetrock, painting, and now installing the new track lighting that arrived recently. The lighting in this space has been a long time coming… like so many things in this house. Richie rewired this area allowing us to put lighting down the supporting beams of each room. He also replaced all the outlets and switches. I have a thing for white outlets. They can’t be off white, or tan, or “ivory”. They must be white. It’s just a thing with me. THANK ….

Time to take a break from “working out” and talk about the things that make our homes special. Whether you’re mid-century or traditional, all of us love to fill our homes with beautiful FURNITURE!
Some of it we collect from estate sales, buy on a whim, get handed down from grandma or pick up off the side of the road. Putting a home together should be fun and for me it has and does take years. I love the look of a home that has morphed over many years of collecting over a home that gets decorated in a weekend from ….

The Great Wall of TROUBLE

posted on February 12, 2013

There’s The Great Wall of China, and The Wall in Manhattan…. the Lennon Wall in Prague and Pink Floyd’s THE WALL…. but our wall is not the kind to be celebrated, and I’m pretty sure it won’t attract tourists. One thing I am sure of is that it’s been nothing but trouble. After three years of waiting we finally conquered this hideous beast. Lets look back and see what all the fuss was about.

I’m still in my workout room but we are making progress each week. Richie and I have about a day and a half each week to work on the house ….

A Workout

posted on January 9, 2013

It’s been so nice taking a much needed break from renovation work. The holidays were very restful and Richie and I enjoyed our weeks off. I’ve decided that I really would love to be a “stay-at-home” chick! I won’t go into all of it because… well… it’s freakin’ OVER and without coming off as a grouch I’m happy it is. The holidays stress us out and we are always happy to get through it. (I know, I know.. cranky ass!)

With three weeks off during the holidays I found myself getting pretty bored near the end. I’m use to going ….

Parallel Bar – Our Knoll Sofa

posted on October 1, 2012

Well hello! I’m Stacey, it’s nice to be here. Glad you came to visit… I almost forgot I even had a blog it’s been so long since I put my hands on the keyboard or unloaded my camera pics. Ah, life… it’s good… it’s busy and it’s been whipping my butt! Speaking of butt… I thought I’d do a post on one of my favorite spots to park mine. Our Knoll sofa.

Thanks to the many visitors/friends I’ve made over the last 2 years, I get lots of emails and comments about not only our home and the renovation, but ….

“Who’ll Stop the Rain”

posted on July 16, 2012

Credence Clearwater pondered it, Prince colored it purple, Adele set fire to it, Gene Kelly sang in it, Led Zepplin were fools in it, The Cure prayed for it, Husker Du stood in it, Willie Nelson saw blue eyes crying in it, The Jesus and Mary Chain were only happy when it happened, the Eurythmics let it fall on their heads, and Bob Dylan knew a hard rain’s gonna fall……. but I’m just SICK OF IT!

My drive to work most days looks like this.

Every day for the last 12 days it has RAINED! I know, I know, most of the country ….
