Home Improvements

We got started on working on the house today.  We changed all the lights to not be super harsh, institutional-style bulbs.  And we changed the cups in our living room chandelier – an inexpensive fix, but it made the chandelier not look so cheap.  And we painted a few coats of primer in the front bedroom to cover the red.  We are going to use that space to paint all sorts of samples to pick the colors for all the rooms.  We are excited!

We bought a house!

We’ve had a little bit going on lately, as we bought a house!  It is a brownstone condo in Chester Square, in the South End.  We adore our new place and are excited to do a little bit of work and move in!  Mannie isn’t so sure yet, but we think he’ll come around!

P.S.  We highly recommend our real estate agent, Ken Snyder.  He is awesome!

Winterizing Our Basil

We winterized our potted plants. In some cases this meant planting bulbs and wrapping our boxwoods in burlap – in the case of our basil – we made pesto! We used fancy olive oil from France (thanks Shannon!) and our new itty bitty food processor (thanks Grandma Allen!).

Cute Mannie

He fell asleep playing with his mouse and then used it to cover his eyes from the light.
