Happy Good Friday Peeps!

I am all sorts of giddy today! I am not sure, but I would like to give full credit to my new find - the 60s, 70s & 80s station on My Pandora - it just makes me so happy:) 
It could also be because I am currently watching Into the Woods - so picture this post in the form of a musical!

...

 I have been sick on the sofa since Sunday and today was the first day of me feeling good. I hope all of you are lucky enough to have missed that plague that was/is going around! 

Lots going on at two two one as of late - the side street that is the entrance to our driveway had a gaping hole in it yesterday morning! I think it was actually a water main break [thank God we have our own well!] but I would like to think it was something more exciting - like a sinkhole.. I'm pretty sure I actually saw a Hummer sticking out, but I can't be positive. 
I felt like an old lady staring out the window and checking on the progress all day with my camera. I can't be sure, but I think one of the workers caught me in my towel.. 

Once again, we are sort of at a stand still on the house but have other things going on outside the home. Our most current venture is our first time at the Historical Society meeting in our town! The meeting was held at the one room schoolhouse where I went to kindergarten:) We went there a few weeks ago for an open house and we were excited to make it to an actual meeting to get some more information about being apart of the "society" part:) 
We were definitely the youngest couple there by a few decades.. 


Even just at this short meeting, we learned a lot about the school district in our town - very interesting actually. 



We plan on becoming more a part of the historical society and learning more about the history of our town. If you want information about you town - contact the historical society in your area and inquire about monthly meetings. They are always looking for younger members to join in order to keep it going for years to come.

In other news, our house will be 124 at the end of this month! We will be considering our closing date as the day we celebrate:) I have a few plans up my sleeve that we can hopefully pull off in the upcoming weeks. 
I can't believe we have been here almost an entire year! It's crazy to look back and see how far we have come. 

One of our big projects for the summer is to tune up our yard - by "tune up" I mean completely demolish and start from scratch.. I can't wait to get some grass planted and color in the yard:) We are always looking for volunteers to help with that as well! 




Anyone else have any grand plans for the summer?

Whoa! | Bathroom REupdate

Well it's been pretty damn long since I've given you guys any good stuff lately. I failed miserably at the OCD challenge last year and for that I am sorry. BUT we are back in action and we have decided to stick with working on one room at a time but not necessarily finish in a month's time. This really allows us to focus on one space and pay attention to every detail and really perfect it.  The first project of the year was the main bathroom. You may be saying "Hey, didn't she already do that one?" . Yes. Yes we did. I am a perfectionist and I knew it needed to be done again. I wasn't happy with the wall color and there were too many unfinished projects in the space. It was somewhat embarrassing when we had guests over and it looked like a Sundance film production office (whatever that looks like, I just made that up) exploded in there. I think it wasn't completed for so long because I was sort of scared to do some of the projects that needed to b...

certains things just belong at home..

The other day my aunt and I were pulling of the driveway about to do some shopping and someone had pulled off onto the side of the road. He waved us down and asked if I owned the house - it feels so good to say "Yes", although I'm a horrible liar and should have said "I will in 20-30 years."  He informed us that he wasn't a creep [which made me think he might just be a creep - just kidding!] and that he lived in the house two owners ago [from 1993-2001-ish]. He said he was unpacking some boxes and came across something he thought should stay with the house and thought I may like it. He saw that we were doing a lot on the house and thought we were doing a really good job - well duh.  He pulled out two nicely framed photos: This is the original home owner! Can you even right now? This was taken over 100 years ago, guys!     I zoomed in so we could go into greater detail. 1. There's a hammock on the porch - I love hammocks!...

Friday Fancys!

Today is the debut for my Friday Fancys post!  Every Friday I want to do a fun post about "Whatever suits my Fancy"! Things that make me happy that I want to talk about that week - anything. Any topic, any subject - anything. I need ideas from all of you to get me through all 52 weeks this year too!  Recently my best friend reintroduced me into alliterations and I thought this would be the perfect place to expose my new found love:) As I mentioned in my New Year post - making routine posts for you to get excited about is one of my 2015 goals. I think it goes without saying that my main passion - among other things - is design and all things creative. You may know that about me, but do you know where I get my main inspiration? Do you know what really makes me tick? What really gives me goosebumps when I see a completed space on TV or in real life? Maybe you don't care, maybe you do - if you don't - you should probably hit that little red x in the left co...
