Aloha! It's been a little while - the Mister and I are deep in drywall dust, paint splatter and a number of other renovation related materials. It's been a somewhat (knock on wood) easy going renovation with only a few problems like our second gallon of "sugar dust" white paint not matching the first batch of "sugar dust" white and having to repaint everything AGAIN in the less dusty looking second batch of "sugar dust" white - which covered over the first doomed paint choice of "dove wing" white. The color white is a tough one to get right, I tell you. It's like drawing an egg - looks easy until you try it. All you artists know what I mean. We did finally get it though - and while anyone who sees it will not notice or even care, the one's who live with it everyday will be happy.
There was some electrician miscommunication (who has since made up for it in awesome speed) and lighting not being ordered when we thought they were issues but, so far we have not fallen through the floor or broken any windows with funny ladder mishandling. Although the Mister did accidently split open his lip with a crowbar. However, technically that was a different project with has now left a three foot hole in our eaves. What fun!
Pictures, you say? Okay - just one where you can see the installed marmoleum floor and the Mister "helping" Jeff with the handcrafted teak cabinets...
Meanwhile, across the fake universe...as you can see I've come across these nifty vintage prints of Minimalist Planets from a certain epic movie series which is dear to our hearts. They are the work of multi- talented, Chicago native, Justin Van Genderen who's work can and other prints can be found at 2046 Design.
