the next chapter

 

we're engaged!

it happened on winter solstice, a few hours before a holiday cocktail party we were throwing for all our friends. and of all places, he proposed AT my condo in front of my favorite exposed brick wall! how fitting :)

anyways, now that a wedding is on the horizon, it's time to start thinking about the next chapter. i could not be more excited, but it's bittersweet because it means saying goodbye to uptown and the place i've called home for the past 5 years. i will definitely miss this place.

a look back:

• closed on my condo on may 22, 2009 (and have been slowing fixing it up ever since)

a look forward:

• move into tim (and snoop's) house in st paul
• list my condo by september, 2014
• get it sold asap!

a white coat for all

now that all the doors are finally in, it was time to give them all a fresh (or a first) coat of white paint.

so the gang (okay, just my parents and tim) came over to help me tackle the project.

in case you don't remember, i wanted to keep a consistent flow throughout my condo, so all of my doors and trim are painted a nice, fresh white. 

all in all we painted the double-door living room closet, the hallway closet next to the bar, the bathroom door, and the new bi-fold pantry doors in the kitchen.

i absolutely LOVE how the living room closet turned out! love, love, love!
