Here’s to Y-O-U, Birthday Boy.

October 13, 2011

We believe we should all love where we live.

We’re a couple of homebodies, working to uncover the home our home wants to be. And we’re so happy to have you here.

Befores, afters, mood boards, plans, failures, wins. We’ve done a lot of projects, and they’re all here. 

We have a long-standing relationship with DIY, and love rolling our sleeves up and making it happen. 

Even when you don’t want to rip down a wall, you can make that space in your home better. Right now.

Happy Birthday to a pretty amazing person:

I love you, birthday boy.  I am so grateful to be your wife and best friend.  We have a blast together and tonight is going to be no different.  Get ready for some fun!  Here’s what we’ll be doing:

    Hey buddy. Sorry, I didn’t get this in on time. The time difference killed me on this one. It looks like Julia has some good stuff planned. I especially love Mom’s post. Julia, remember to lock the door, so Chris does not get out. He, he. Happy birthday buddy. I am proud to call you my brother and am grateful for your example. You are a great husband and father. Julia and Gretta are blessed to have you. -Jared
