Yes, we bought the house. Things have been crazy. I learned how to caulk holes and cracks. We’ve been working on the walls, getting things ready for painting, choosing paint colors, all kinds of craziness. And the semester is in full swing with so many lessons and so many students, and some rehearsals.

Anyway, life is busy and hectic, and good. It’s Sunday night, I worked all weekend, either at gigs or on the house, and I’m exhausted! I’m going to bed early because tomorrow morning will be here soon. But I wanted to say, I’m still here, I’m just busy and tired!

I love the way the dining room turned out! I never knew I could get so excited about grey, but here we are. Sherwin Williams On the Rocks with Pure White, if you are curious. We are using that a fair amount throughout the house, as one does as a boring 40 something couple.

I find myself reading design blogs, using pinterest, and generally spending a lot of time brainstorming decor ideas. It’s great fun, but it takes up so much time! So I’m off now, to bed or to the internet, or who knows, but I’ll be back with more. How is your January going?
