About

We are K & D, and we’ve been married since 2002, together since the summer of 2000 when we met at my cousin’s wedding. We did minor fix-ups on the two houses we lived in before we bought this one in 2004. Now we’re embroiled in constant renovation. We have yet to actually, fully complete a project. We’ve almost completed the kitchen and mostly completed the master bathroom and stripping the wood trim in the entry hall. We’ve painted five rooms (dining, living, kitchen, master bathroom, and guest bathroom), and we’ve started and stopped numerous projects. Perseverance is not our strong suit.

If you want to know what it’s like to be a young(ish) married couple renovating an old house, this post pretty much says it all.

When we are not working on the house, we enjoy spending time with our four spoiled and undisciplined pets - two cats (Alistair and Henry) and two dogs (Millie and Stanley) - learning to ballroom dance, gossiping on our neighbors’ front porch, traveling, and eating Mexican and Italian food whenever possible.

For the past two years, we’ve been on a hard-core journey to build a family through adoption and/or fertility treatments, so the blog has changed focus somewhat. Now I’m pregnant with our first child, a girl.
