looking back: 2015
We didn’t plan on posting again before 2016 but couldn’t help ourselves –looking back, we realized what a busy year it’s been, and thought you might enjoy a recap. Here are some highlights [click pics/links for original posts] starting with January’s back-breaking efforts to neaten the landscape…
In February, we brightened our gloomy corridor…
In March, we moved our office (all of 40 feet)…
And cleaned-up (sorry) our laundry nook…
In April, we added some greenery to our front yard…
In May, we showed some love to our smallest bedroom…
And took an Eichler road trip to San Jose…
In June, we removed a wall to let in the light…
In July, we made some tweaks to our patio area…
In August, we celebrated two years of Eichler ownership…
In September, we got comfortable, in our new lounge chair…
In October, we finished painting the exterior…
And installed VCT in our TV/all-purpose room…
In November, we finally solved our dining room conundrum…
In December, we completed our kitchen refresh…
While making a mess of our side yard…
And prettying our white wall…
Hope you enjoyed this year’s posts and progress. Thanks so much for following along –Karen and I really do appreciate your support and input. Plenty planned for next year, as our home begins to come together –we look forward to sharing. Happy new year! See you in 2016…

As always, impressed with your hard work and choices. So happy to have found you both and look forward to watching your progress in 2016, and getting to know you both better! All the best in the new year. P.S. – no one restores original mahogany paneling like you two!!

Hi Karen and Andy. A very happy new year to you both. It is amazing when you look back, at how much you have achieved in the year, bearing in mind this has been done in your spare time. It has been of great interest to watch the changes you have carried out, and to see the projects come to fruition. Looking forward to the 2016 visual treats.

Hey Olivia! Yeah, we were surprised how much we crammed-in. Plenty more in the pipeline. Look forward to watching your next steps too. Hope you’ve made a great start to 2016. Catch you soon…
Karen
So many great projects for you guys last year. I think the kitchen updates are some of my (many) favorites!

Yeah, it was a busy year alright! Still lots more to do though. It never ends, right?! Hope you guys have another great project year too.
Karolina
You guys continue to amaze with your projects. Here’s to a great 2016! I’m super excited to see how your landscaping turns out!

Thanks Karolina! Landscaping is on hold until spring, then we’ll push on. Won’t be anything groundbreaking (pardon the pun) but we prefer it already…even though it’s currently just a pile of mud. Hope you guys have a great 2016 too!
Greg
I just found your blog and I love it! We live in a MCM house in an MCM neighborhood similar to Eichler in Tulsa, Ok. You have great tastes, and I will be sure to follow.
