New TV!
The new TV and blu ray are being installed now! We’ll have a wall of TV when they are done installing and linking everything together. And yes, we are just dorky enough to want two big tvs in the same room. Thank goodness Jeff’s brother Jay is a whiz at this or it would have.. read more →
Photos: Hayley’s new room
We finally decided Hayley was ready to move to a bigger room, so she took Jeff’s big home office and he took her room. She decided she wanted it black and hot pink with the theme ‘punk princess’. So we got paint, vinyl decals and all sorts of stuff and we got to work. It’s.. read more →
Photos: Snowbama day
Several of my friends named it Snowbama day since we got six inches on Tuesday the day of the inauguration of President Obama, it made me chuckle so I keep using it. Besides all we did that day was either snow or inauguration related anyway. See more photos from this set: Regular view (easiest to.. read more →
New living room furniture on the way
Hooray, we finally ordered our new living room furniture! I finally twisted Jeff’s arm into it by making it be my anniversary gift.

Photos: Halloween 2005
We went nuts for Halloween. Strobe light, fog machine, tons of sensor things (you walk by and they scream), bloody doors, spider webs everywhere, ghost in the trees, luminaries in the yard. I missed a lot of cool things to get photos of – mostly the glowing light/sensor stuff but oh well! Hayley and her.. read more →
Our sports memorabilia collection
As most of you know, Jeff & I are obsessive college sports fans. We love to collect UNC (me) and VT (Jeff) stuff – the pile got to be extensive enough where we devoted an entire room to it. I’d say it is about 60% UNC stuff, 40% VT stuff. And since I took the.. read more →
Downstairs photos
A friend of mine has been after me to take some photos of my house. I finally did and I thought I’d post them here as well. One of the reasons we picked this floor plan was the way everything was open and flowed – either french doors or arches with no doors between most.. read more →
Mosaic backsplash in progress
Still a bit messy and it isn’t done yet – we’ve got the first two levels of sealant down and will keep applying it until it stops absorbing. Also we are going to run a thin line of caulk in the bottom and top gap. We left that gap so the grout could expand. And.. read more →
Our library is done!
The make your own wallpaper experiment is done – and it looks great! read more →
Update – March ’03
Not much to report… We finished the library walls! It took four months and we think a few thousand pages but it looks great. We were both really shocked it looked so good and proud of ourselves for doing it. I am converting the webpage to a content management system that I wanted to try.. read more →
