Little house on Clinton St
Oh Little House on Clinton St, how still I see thee sit. You’re perfect and small compared to all the big homes next to it.
First re-upholstery project: There’s a first time for everything…
I’ve always wanted to learn how to re-upholster furniture. It all started with a sofa that we had when I was a kid that was super(!) comfy, but so ugly you wouldn’t believe. (As a side note, she tried reupholstering it years later and actually managed to make it even uglier. It was later relegated...
Pics of the new apartment
At long last, I’ve quit being so lazy and taken some photos of our new apartment. Well, actually…I’ve just been enjoying living here so much that it’s not quite laziness as it is absent-mindedness. At any rate, here are some pics of the new digs here in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. This is the reading nook...
Brooklyn Apartment Tour: Amy Chin
This is our friend (and fabulous prop stylist) Amy Chin’s apartment. It’s delightful, no? She’s quite a talented prop stylist. And Nick took these lovely photos of her place today.

Today was possibly the best snow day, I’ve ever had. Complete with Scrabble, homemade soup, and our first fire in our very own...
Apartment Kitchen Update
The difference between living in your own house and living in an apartment is pretty big. For example, what I would choose to upgrade my kitchen with vs. what the landlord chooses to use is vastly different. Neither of us are fans of granite countertops…however, never one to look a gift-horse in the mouth, we’re...
No. Sleep. Till Broooooklyn!!!
Well, we got approved for an apartment in Brooklyn today! At least that is one less thing to worry about now. I’m so excited about a new space to decorate that I can hardly stand it!! Here are some sneak peaks of it! That is a working fireplace, you guys!! I’m fantasizing about sipping hot...
