hello and happy friday

dear house,
i love you,
even despite your moisture issues
and a certain carpenter ant situation.

I realize I haven’t made proper introductions yet.

This is our house!  It’s an Eichler built in 1960, with a lot of its original details still intact.  We’re the third set of owners and feel very lucky to call this place home.  It has mahogany wall panels in a few places as well as the original kitchen (for better or for worse). The radiant heating buried in the concrete slab foundation still keeps us from freezing in the winter (just).  And that giant hole in the roof? That’s the atrium.

It has its issues, as every old house does.  But it also has these great beams running through it and a whole lot of natural light thanks to its huge windows.  I’ll share more in the coming weeks, to give you a better idea of what this place is all about.

For now, I’m excited for the weekend.  After a long week, I’ll be getting back to a few smaller projects and researching bigger ones. Here’s to that!

Happy Friday, all!
