Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.
— Izaak Walton
So, here we are! It feels like it has taken a lifetime to get here. Coffee talks, family functions, endless chatter during projects, but I always thought we were not ready. However, some recent career contemplations, travel, and life events have all stirred up the once steadfast perspective. Which makes me ask the ever-popular question; are we ever truly ready?
Welcome to our little site in progress! We have been living in our 1920’s American Foursquare home restoration for the last 3 years in central New Jersey. It wasn’t until we moved here that we became inspired for our love of old(er) homes, decorating, and all things from yester-year. It has been our curiosity that has lead us to multiple DIY projects which have come to shape our home. So, we thought, why not share that and more with a growing community of family, friends, and strangers!
Although still in the early stages of development, I hope to share our stories, inspiration, and learned lessons (some harder than others) all related to our lovely dwelling, we get to call home. I hope our little community here, helps inspire others in owning their very own old home making the constant cycle of “work” seem all the more enjoyable. Getting to live in a little part of history is so worth it!
Happy New Year! I hope you join us on our new journey into 2019!
