Office/Nursery

Here are some photos from our newly remodeled office/baby's room. I'm pretty happy with what we managed to do in a comparatively small space - and pleased with the interaction of our various themes (urban living, lizards and amphibians, the Swedish countryside, and sheep, among others).

I found an old ottoman someone had put out on the street for trash night and reupholstered it for the living room. Overall, it turned out well, though of course there are some minor problems here and there, since it was my first time using a sewing machine or upholstering anything.

See more photos here.

The house is done at last! Or done enough for now, at least. Check out the final photos here.

Last night we had a housewarming party to christen the new place. Now it's time to turn our attention to the garage - more photos on that soon.

Preliminary Photos of the New House

By familial request, we present some photos of our new house.

Remember it's still very much a work in progress, but we expect to have it done by the end of the summer, for sure.

Settled in Glendale

Hello all, and apologies for the dirth of posts lately, we've been spending every moment shopping, cleaning, unpacking, and generally negotiating our return. But now we're settled in Glendale, California (in the northeast part of Los Angeles, near Griffith Park) and almost back to the usual routine.

Our new address is
1830 Glenwood Road
Glendale, CA 91201

L.A. residents should look forward to a housewarming party to be coming soon. We'll also post some photos of the house when it's all clean and set up properly - stay tuned!

Also, thank you to Mina and James for hosting us until we found a place, and to Lucas for shuttling me all over the city every day until I get my own car.
