Let me give you a brief background, or disclaimer if you will, about us.
We have no design background whatsoever. I am an office manager for a non-profit agency and my husband, Chris, is a library assistant at a local Cal State University. We are both fans of mid-century modern design. Frankly, I love Mexican folk art; gotta stay true to my cultural roots. Chris is a bit more rebellious when it comes to design, he is not afraid to turn a simple traditional kitchen into a loud Kawasaki green rice rocket thrill ride. Together we find a perfect balance…after several rounds of deliberation, of course. >_<
Overall, we are here to share and document all of our hard work transforming what was once a sad and lonely living quarters, into our lovely nest.

I love it. The trial-end-of-the-hallway experiment. It looks cool. Now where oh where will the piano fit? I know there is always room for a baby grand. Maybe the bedroom. I've heard people do thing on them in a horizontal position. I don't know what that could be. Maybe you can enlighten me. OR ACTUALLY MAYBE NOT! Just to let you know I have it here for when you three are ready for it. Love the blag! Give Thomasina my love, tammy jo
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun blog! And it will never end because updating a home is an eternal project. I too love mid-century modern mixed with ethnic art though I'm not too crazy about 90210 reruns. Chris's second cousin Ross's wife Barbara.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog, I can relate to having the house to myself and hubby working. Unfort. I'm in the category of part timer, very, but I'm trying to make it work better with a better income and lifestyle for all of us. I have a cat too, so she motivates me to higher things (!) Keep on trying I say.
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy!! Oh, there is always room for a baby grand piano! There's the formal living room, the family room, "oscars" room...many, many possibilities. We're golden. ^_^

I love the "Wall of Sound". You should do a spot on "Chit Chat". You know, that cool cable show on Time Warner. I will pitch it to the producers. I know them pretty well. I will have my people call your people and set it up.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work.
