So much has happened since we pulled a Valley Girl and went shopping, shopping, shopping. The entryway to the studio has been reframed and widened. Now when we want to roll our baby grand around the house they'll be no stopping us!

Much more impressive have been the improvements to the main floor bathroom. It's hardly recognizable from the grey-lavender-beige thing that it was. We've gone more retro with the white tile on the walls, white cast iron tub, and what will be wood trim and a wood cabinet. We're aiming for a farmhouse/mission motif on the main level and the bath will fit nicely into that. Look at me throwing around designing terms as if I know what I'm talking about. If you catch me saying "Bauhaus" then you'll know I've gone native.
With an eye always toward the next steps, we've ordered the cabinets for the kitchen and some paint to get us started. We're big fans of this place because of all the paints we've tried it really has no VOCs.
Our surprising and wonderful introduction to the neighborhood continued the other day. I was over at the house doing a few things and coordinating with the guys when I saw one of our neighbors come up the driveway with a gift wrapped in red cellophane. She and her family live kitty corner from us, she apologized for not stopping by earlier, and she presented me with a loaf of cranberry bread that she'd baked earlier that morning. Imagine, we've waved at each other a couple times in the past week but on our first meeting a neighbor is giving us a homemade present. I was dumbstruck. We've never lived in a place with such a strong sense of community as the one we've just bought into.
