when we finally decided that we were going to live in this little house
it meant we really had to get to work because there was a lot that needed
to be done to it. the woman that owned the place had our part of the house built as
her craft room so everything in the house is kind of wonky.
we decided to rip down all the wood panelling, throw dry wall up, texture and paint.
it was a process but we were lucky to have so many friends and family help us out.


first we had to rip down all the ceiling tiles. that was a real treat let me tell you.
once again my photos are terrible so please be forgiving. 

my nanna even helped us out. isnt she a doll?

and then there was weed wacking. i didnt do all of this mind you....actually i believe thats as 

far as i made it. 

 

i cant wait to show you the pictures of how it looks now!
much love

when chad and i got engaged we were planning on moving back to my hometown in 

colorado where my mother and most of my family live. chad was reluctant to moving

but was willing nonetheless. we had visited over the summer to start getting a scope

of how our new life would be in a bigger city. i could tell that it was going to be hard for 

chad and when we got back to california i realized it would be hard for me too. 

while looking out at the ocean after coming home i told him i couldnt do it and 

i could feel relief seeping out of him.

that meant we only had a few months to find a home before the wedding.

we didnt search high and low. 

we didnt go on craigslist everyday.

there was no company we went through.

we looked at one place. it was one of those things where chads dad worked 

with someone who was the daughter to someone who was the father to someone whos

mother owned the property type of thing. extremely confusing and very rare.  

i wanted to share with you how far it has come because sometimes i still cant believe

how much it has changed even in these past two years. 

the moment i walked into this place i wanted to walk right back out of it and never see it

again. i didnt take very many pictures of it because i simply didnt like it. so all i have is

this terrible video so please be forgiving. 

i cant wait to share how it all turned out
much love
