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.

Drywall is So Pretty




Okay, back to our actual reality and our actual house, where progress was, indeed, being made. After insulating everything, it was time for drywall – hooray! Drywall was just so pivotal because, at that point, the actual rooms were delineated and we didn’t have to “use our imaginations” or “stay positive” to believe that we would someday live in this place. After some deliberation, we hired a pro to hang the sheetrock and to texture it with “skip trowel.” Who could believe that, before I became a do-it-yourselfer, I didn’t know my “orange peel” from my “knockdown”? I had just never paid much attention to drywall before.
