About Us

Sonoma County, California
We are two teachers in love who took on an enormous renovation project over three years ago. In the words of the inspector, "This house has been abused." When we're not educating young minds or working on our place, we are busy with many other interests. Dominic could blog with authority on the following topics: zombie infestations, home-brewing, origami, medieval recreation, and surfing. As for me, my blogging repertoire could include these topics: breastfeeding, guitar for the musically disinclined, bellydancing, and the quest for the perfect matzah ball. This is our story.

Cabinet Chaos





We supposed that we should actually finish putting in the cabinets and countertops. To do so was a little bit of a pain as it required shuffling all of our stuff and moving appliances around, but it was definitely worth it. The free sink (another “flawed” reject) and slightly used stove (another giveaway from Dominic’s stepmom) that we scored really enhanced the look of our kitchen, as did our affordable Ikea countertops. I hadn’t quite realized that cabinets are just boxes affixed to the wall. Hanging them at that critical point between level and the ceiling line was, as usual, a challenge.
