looking back: 2015

By Andy on December 31, 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…

    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.

    So many great projects for you guys last year. I think the kitchen updates are some of my (many) favorites!

    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!

    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.
