Details

these HUGE double doors behind our couch are amazing. They are heavy thick wood and in the early 1900's they must have kept them open to their parlor room. Since that is now the main house communal hallway we keep them closed and they make a beautiful backdrop on our wall.

i love the molding on the ceiling in our bedroom

creepy eh? I found this in one of the doors with a peg in it. Its an old peep hole! Those are the glass double doors to our row home. There are about 4 units on the entire house. We have the first two levels. I can spy on the others. I love that!

We'll keep truckin' on empty'ing boxes and you can keep up with my pics. Hope you like! :)

Little By Little

Our place is coming together.

Here are some pics of the far side of our family room.

this is our music poster wall. (radiohead, arcade fire and ghostland observatory)

we LOVE these old shutters and love looking out our window onto such a pretty street in Fitlers.

over sized print we found in our old hood for $20. Amazing how your stuff looks so different in a new place.

I think we're progressing pretty great on the decorating. More boxes tonight. :)

Fire Places and New Digs

What to do with un-working fire places? I guess decorate them!

make shift book case. I'm not burning them, promise.

those are light bulbs.

We just moved into a GREAT new place in Philadelphia. Its a bi-level row home that was built in 1891! Pretty awesome! Its old, its full of unique architecture and its ours (to rent). This is our third move in less than three years. We still can't believe it, but, if you don't like something, change it... right? We lived in a sketchy part of the city and I wanted out... so we got out. I'm now in yupville and couldn't be happier. :)

There's also an awesome pizza place right up the street. You could say that Im in heaven. Pizza, great place... now all I need is a pup and Kirbs and I will be SET!

Special thanks to Tom who came up and provided some moving muscle. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I'm sorry we didn't get to go to Doobey's. We did make up a sweet pubbie song as well as get a personal call at the Dollar General. hehe!

I'll post more pics as we set up. There's so much to do!

Tis The Season

... Of Holiday Parties!

Like most everyone, I love the holidays. But, I love the holidays mostly because of the parties and there is ALWAYS that someone from work that gets entirely too tipsy and makes a massive fool of themselves. Gosh, I love watching that train wreck happen. I'll be fair, I was that someone a few times in my life. Will I go into detail further about it? Not entirely, but, it did involve a hotel bar in Los Angeles ending in a shady bar in Brentwood playing cards in a kitchen with a bunch of Mexicans. Was awesome! Morning after was not.

Because I work at home I do not have a work holiday party to feast my eyes on embarrassing debauchery. I won't get to watch Carly dance drunkenly while her jeans are half way down to her knees or Jonathan barf in the bathroom. So, be kind to me and please let me know of any awesome co-worker horror stories that happen at your holiday parties this year. I will be very appreciative! Perhaps I'll have my own party one afternoon here at my house with some bottles of wine and my ipod. (That just depressed me).

To HOLIDAY PARTIES AND SHENANIGANS!
