Well, I had all these wonderful intentions of chronicling all our home improvements and then somehow I not only stopped blogging but I also stopped doing any improvements. Basically, we ended up painting the house and not doing a whole lot more than that. I have an enormous list of things I *want* to do though, so maybe if I start this blog back up it will motivate me to get my ass in gear and actually do some of the things I had planned.
The most exciting news is that we got married! We had our actual wedding ceremony on Coronado Beach and our reception in our backyard. It was basically a dual housewarming and reception, and I think it went really awesome. We ended up getting a food truck to park out front and we rented a tent and some tables & chairs to give people a place to sit. Here's some pictures just to show what the house and yard looked like. :)

This is the view into our office from the dining room. |

The backyard. The people to the right are standing in front of the entrance to the studio space. Yes, our grass is dead. We have 3 dogs and it hasn't rained in San Diego in months! |

Another angle. |

Cutting the cake out in the studio. |

Front steps. |

One of my favorite details, the door on the studio space. It has a little door that you can open to talk through it. :) |
Our living room has been decorated but I'm still not satisfied with it. I just don't have a lot of concrete plans for it.
|
I think that we may get rid of the aquarium, or move it to another space. It's just not attractive enough and I could put the three living fish in a much smaller tank somewhere else. |
|
We still have this hideous chandelier. I'm trying to find something to replace it with, but it's tricky. I'm thinking it needs to be some kind of non-hanging light since we're not putting our dining room table underneath it (it just doesn't have enough room to walk around it.) |
|
I'd like to find some nice low shelves to go in the corner under the windows, but I have yet to find something affordable and attractive. I would still like to mount the TV as well, and I want to paint this table white. And get some kind of curtains or something at some point..... |
