So, we’ve lived in our house (Schubert HQ) since March 2012 …. but our kitchen wasn’t finished until May 2012.
Check out the original BEFORE & AFTER here
Now, 1 year later, how do we like it?
I LOVE:
All of our color/style choices still. [...]
SUPER exciting …. Andrew and I both had New Year’s Day off.
Between his crazy work schedule and my vacation black-out dates, we don’t get hardly any days off together.
In fact, in the 10+ years we’ve been together, we’ve only started to get weekends off together in the last couple months. True story. [...]
Special treat today …. to make up for ignoring this blog for the last 2 months. Which is a story in and of itself.
But anyway … in honor of living in Schubert HQ for a whole year, today I’m sharing an AS-IS house tour.
Which means I did not really clean up a [...]
New Schubert family tradition: girls-only craft day around the holidays
(yes, these photos are from December. So?)
On a Saturday morning in mid-December I took my computer over to Andy and Julie’s to work while Julie, Kaitlin, Aunt Susie and Amanda crafted ….
They made these [...]
(going a little out of order so I can post about our Christmas tree before Christmas)
Our first Christmas in this home.
We have this lovely large window for a Christmas tree …. but as the holiday grew closer I started to get a little stressed out about our new floors. They’re wood-laminate … [...]
Andrew and I don’t really buy each other gifts. We haven’t done Christmas for each other in years. We did 30th birthday gifts, but no birthdays for awhile.
That doesn’t mean we don’t think about gifts for other people!
Here are just a few ideas for holiday gifts for your loved ones…
(note: Because [...]
So 4 and a half years ago (May 2008) I transferred from the Phoenix to the Los Angeles office of my company.
A few months after that I noticed the fantastic wingback chairs in some of the offices and asked one of my supervisors where they had gotten them because I wanted something similar [...]
I hate shopping and spending money stresses me out.
That said, sometimes you just need to bite the bullet and do something you don’t want to do.
In this case – it was buying a new computer.
Don’t get me wrong; I’m THRILLED to have a new-to-me computer. It was the actual making the [...]
Today I thought a little flashback to August when we Andrew got to mow our front lawn for the first time!
In order to allow the grass to take root as well as possible, we were instructed to allow about 3 weeks before mowing it. But because of schedules and [...]
There was some filming in our neighborhood at the end of August.
Our city likes to attract filming. For those of you who may not know, we’re only 30 or 40 minutes north of Los Angeles, and surrounded by ranch property and hills/national forests, so it’s a great place to [...]
A few days after Andrew hung our downstairs gallery wall, he hung the smaller grouping of pictures we had designated for the upstairs gallery wall.
If you check out the BEFORE house tour, this wall is between our master bedroom (left) and my office (right).
Again, I just [...]
Little tiny bit more progress on making Schubert HQ a home … We kind of got to a certain point in making the house livable and then …. “rested”
A couple weeks ago we unpacked all our Andrew&Amy framed photos, and Andrew hung them in on our front entryway wall.
[...]
It is weird living in the same neighborhood where I went to school and real close to where I grew up …. Old memories all the time.
But, it IS a nice neighborhood.
We need more evenings together so we can take walks around the neighborhood….. It’s a [...]
At the end of July Andrew surprised me…. He had a bunch of days off work and on one of them he spontaneously decided to paint our bedroom!
We had already bought the paint, but just hadn’t gotten a chance to paint it yet ….
So I got [...]
I mentioned in this post about landscaping our front yard that we need to rebuild the fence blocking off our back yard.
We have a half-wall coming out from the the back wall, acting as a retaining wall all along the side of our property. Eventually, I’d like to extend the retaining wall all [...]
