One of the huge bonuses of the townhouse to us was that it had recently been flipped and it looked like almost everything had been upgraded. The one risk we were taking was with the air conditioning and furnace system because it was original to the house. Hello, 25 year old HVAC, you could have […]

MT. HOUSE
I often reference Mt. House because it’s the main other place that Matt and I lived together as well as in Colorado. We didn’t start living together until we moved to Colorado and it was initially in an apartment. We broke that lease after 6 months though to move to a duplex in the foothills […]
HARDWARE UPDATE
You might have noticed that when I revealed our new yellow front door last week that there was another color update, the hardware! The hardware on the door had seen better days. The gold wasn’t really shiny anymore, there were many spots with paint on them, and most importantly, the gold wouldn’t have looked good […]
HELLO YELLOW
While Matt was gone last weekend on a trip to Alaska, I took the opportunity to paint our front door! See, we live in a collection of cookie cutter townhouses so I was incredibly excited when I found out that our HOA had just incorporated a program where people can paint their front doors […]
OUR HONEYMOON: COMING TO AN END
This is my final aloha, friends! We’re getting to the end of our fun filled Hawaiian adventure. On our second to last day on the island, we basically just went out to explore. My feet were killing me, so we went shopping all around Hanalei Bay for some flip flops, stopping along the way to […]
CLOSET CASE
One very odd space in our new townhouse is the coat closet. I’m assuming that in the construction of the unit there was a strange space that someone decided couldn’t be utilized well, so they put a door on it. On paper, it’s good: it’s on the main level, near the front door and the […]
OUR HONEYMOON: KAYAKING THE NA PALI COAST
Hello again friends! I’m back for another #WanderlustWednesday with more adventures from our Hawaiian honeymoon. On Saturday, we got a really early start because the day was going to be filled with a kayaking excursion. It was one of the few things we planned before arriving on the island because it was high on Matt’s […]
OUR HONEYMOON: WAIMEA CANYON
Aloha, friends! On our fifth day on Kauai, we got up early and wanted to explore Waimea Canyon, the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. On the way, we stopped at Aloha N Paradise because they boasted having the best coffee on the island. That may not have been true, but this place lacked no charm! […]
HOUSE TOUR: BASEMENT AND GARAGE
Gee, I bet you can’t figure out why I saved this post for last. Basements and garages aren’t fun to look at, I know, but it’s the final part of our home tour so without further adieu… The basement is a great storage area! Surprisingly enough, it wasn’t shown at all in the sale listing, […]
