In July 2011 we purchased our first home, on the north side of Austin. We are so excited to be homeowners and turn this house into a home that this is uniquely ours. And for a design lover and DIY-obsessed person like me, this is going to be a slow and rewarding process. That is why I want to take the time to capture it all right here on this little blog. I am so thankful to have a husband who takes interest in and supports my love of DIY, design, crafting, sewing, and the thrill of the hunt- on a budget!
In our free time, we enjoy being a part of our church, Austin City Life, being a part of our friends and families lives, attempting to live out the Gospel (extremely imperfectly), coffee, craft beers, tex-mex, music, watching Friday Night Lights compulsively, and enjoying everything about this great city of Austin- except for the traffic!
