Hey there ladies and gents,
It has been a while but life has taken hold and dragged me all over this great earth these past few months. I have learned how to paint and refinish furniture, how to move 800 miles and how to start renovating my home. As we continue in our journey I will begin to post updates regularly as well as recipes, sewing and knitting tutorials and possibly living natural ideas. I am hopeful that my posts will contribute to society in a positive way and that, in time, I will help others.

I dont want to post too many ads on here, but this is a great site for GRE Prep GRE Vocab Game

We bought a house

Miserable in my current job and my current home in Atlanta, GA my husband sent out back up north to our homeland and went searching in Pittsburgh. After some digging he found a "revitalizing" (not gentrifying) community and a steal, so we bought it.

My husband left me one weekend in February and drained out bank account, purchasing us this little baby for 10,000 dollars. That, my friends is less than our Honda fit cost us...

Isn't she a beaut? We lost our better quality camera (still a point and shoot) and had to use our more grainy less sophisticated camera (and photographer, I was not present) to take the photo's of the inside, but still... I am a proud momma

 Standing in the dining room look at the living room (we are considering having the dining room be the living room and the living room be the library)

Isn't the radiator awesome?

 this has both doors, note the ugly brick on the fireplace

small and only bathroom :( Any ideas?

I have two attic rooms (7 feet in the center so deemed livable space...)

upstairs hallway 

tiniest backyard ever

We own her free and clear, unlike the house we are currently residing in in Atlanta...
