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.

Don't Wait to Have a Party





You shouldn’t put off important matters until your house is “complete.” Doing so will only kill the spirit of your adventure, and make you feel bad about all of the small projects that haven’t yet been completed. Instead you should relish each unique phase, and cast off your “what will people think” mentality. Because what people will think is that you’re pretty damn brave, and the quirky, half-done features of your abode will make for more interesting party banter. Thanks for coming, you guys, and thanks for bringing your own chairs.
