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.

Everything Must Be Yellow




At this point, we were feeling much better about the interior of our house, but not a whole lot had changed on the outside. We wondered if this confused our neighbors, who heard us making an awful lot of racket without showing much progress in our curb appeal. We, on the other hand, embraced our external scruffiness as a valuable anti-theft device and a necessary evil in order to finish the main work inside. We decided, however, that it was time to spiff things up a bit. Dominic was not surprised when I wanted to paint the exterior yellow, but he did ask if every house that we live in would be painted yellow. I told him that I’d have to get back to him. “Lemon Ice” was just so darn cheerful.
