Attic Attack
We're at it again. Papa K is here to finish the attic: guest suite!
For the past few years the attic has been a really, really great storage closet. We have been busy pitching and selling stuff {p.s. how have we collected so much cr*p??} and moving the stuff we'll keep to the dark, dingy and damp basement.
We can't wait to have a second bathroom and comfortably host guests for extended stays. Book your visit now!!

Stepping Up
We're stepping up the front steps. The battered backs of the stairs just needed a little paint to clean them up.

Nothing Says Custom More Than Built-ins
Papa K loooooves the "custom" look. It's no wonder he was excited to draw up plans, design and build our beautiful bookshelves and fireplace in the living room. Can you believe the before and after?
The center section is popped out a bit and painted a different color than the sides. This gives the ceiling a dramatic depth and texture.
We don't have any way to vent a fireplace, so we decided to go with a ventless ethanol burning fireplace. The bonus...Pete is an ethanol trader!
The boys also had a great time picking out a new sound system, because "it was the perfect time to build it into the built-ins." Nice work, gentlemen!

Cozy Curtains
We've been living without curtains in the dining room for years. And only because we didn't know what to do - so many options. Long curtains, balances, patterned, plain... Finally decided to go with long, linen, solid colored Pottery Barn curtains. The curtains have turned a large open room into a cozy area ready for hosting dinner parties. A little extra fabric dragging on the floor adds to the cozy feel.
Love them!
The Newest Addition
Two years since my last post and only minor house decorating...until now. The newest big addition to our home is a puppy! Please meet Hank. He's a German Shepherd, Lab and Mastiff rescue from Tennessee. Named after Pete's Grandpa Hank.
It's amazing how fast you fall in love. And more importantly, just how much better he makes every room in our house look. He's our living décor...
