Gone Missing Again

Authors: Bungalow13

I promise that I am not gone forever.  Can't believe that January has come and almost gone.  What have we been up to?


The city has been at it on our street for the last 3 weeks.  So over it... This is after having the gas company replace all the lines in our street right as we were installing kitchen cabinets in...

It only took 2.5 years

Authors: Bungalow13

Today, I took a bit of a break from purging and organizing and instead focused much of my energy on finishing a few little projects that have been hanging over my head for weeks, months, and years.
Inspiration? Driving me nuts as well as getting daily emails from apartment therapy (thanks bungalow chronicles for the idea)-...

Chalk It Up

Authors: Bungalow13

One of the things that I really like in our new kitchen is our chalk board wall-so much fun.  It's right at the top of the basement stairs
 
The other cool thing that I discovered is that it is even somewhat period appropriate to have a chalkboard in a 1913 home.  In Duchscherer & Keister's Bungalow Basics...

All these pictures via pinterest.

Here are some photos taken while out and about walking.  So sorry for the very poor quality.  That is what happens with such short daylight hours :)
Steve really thinks that this idea for a dormer addition may work for our home



HAPPY NEW YEAR...

Bungalow Upstairs Attic Remodel-Interior Inspiration

Authors: Bungalow13

Steve and I think that we have figured out our finances enough to go through with starting to remodel our upstairs before the new baby comes.  So of course, this means that the research begins.  Of course, I have been "researching"/dabbling in pictures/dreaming about this remodel for the past 6 years.  However,...

No rest for the weary

Authors: Bungalow13

While the blog has been pretty quiet for the past month, I assure you that we have been busy around this place.
Call it spring cleaning, call it cleaning the hoard, call it being overwhelmed by all the crap in the house, call it nesting....we have been purging and getting rid of stuff.  And it feels so good.  Already...

Plat Map

Authors: Bungalow13

Just wanted to share a really cool map that my friend, Chris scanned for me.  It's an old (not sure of year) old plat map of our neighborhood.  Guessing turn of the century?  For reference, Orwita is 52nd and Hillis is 46th.   I love to see the old street names!

No room at the Inn

Authors: Bungalow13

But, maybe some of you are wondering where we are going to put this babe?  Well, good question.  We have no idea. 

Could share a room with Ben, however that would be hard until the babe is sleeping through the night.  I am not crazy about sharing a room with babe as I like my sleep and don't feel like I...

Christmas Came early this year

Authors: Bungalow13



 Steve and my Christmas gifts arrived early this year.  More like my parents were taking requests and I pounced on it.  It made the most sense for me to go buy this clock from Rejuvenation to save on shipping.  And why wrap it and put it under the tree, and risk breaking it?  Let's go one step further...

The fun stuff testing the new range

Authors: Bungalow13

I am not ready to do a whole kitchen reveal yet as I mentioned yesterday that it is not quite finished.  However, I thought I would share some pictures of some of the fun details we were able to include in the design.  I really wanted to include a small appliance center built in to the counter (mainly for the coffee...
