A little over two years ago, right before my 30th birthday, I turned into a real live adult and bought a house with my main squeeze Joel. We house hunted for nine torturous months and I fell madly in love with everything that had at least 100 years under its lathe-and-plaster belt. We live in Seattle, so you know where this is going - we put in offer after offer and got outbid time and time again. We finally struck gold in spring 2013 with our little two bed/one bath 1914 old gal. When I first stepped foot in her, I had your classic 'It's perfect. I'm changing everything' moment. We got the house. We bought a ladder. We took before pics:

We had the keys for about an hour before we started ripping shit out. Feeling even halfway confident to do so had a direct correlation to the insane amount of home renovation and decoration blogs I've read for years, so I'm hoping my blog can lend a hand in the same way. No square inch has been left untouched since these photos were taken, so buckle up, kids - we've learned a lot in the past two years and I'm here to share. Talk soon, friends! xo
