  Finally!    We moved in last Saturday. It feels great. More unpacking to do. More projects to finish, but at least we are in.   We kept going back and forth on what to do in our powder room.     At first I was going to do a wall with tile like this:       this:      or this:         Let's just say that a small wall with one of those tiles would cost A LOT and though we were fine spending it on this space, our budget was shrinking by the minute.     So we went back to the lovely Aileen at Porcelanosa and came up with other options:     These two options were lovely, but didn't have a wow factor:       We pretty quickly decided on the floor that we liked.

This was a busy week for me and the fam.  We moved all of our stuff to the house in the burbs while the renovations on our house continue.  We closed on our Brooklyn apartment, so we are no longer Brooklynites.  :(  So, please excuse the lack of posts this past week.  I'll try to be better next week! Have a happy weekend!  Here are some pictures from the garden in the burbs to brighten up your weekend. Hydrangeas Roses Azaleas xo, Ris

So, today's the day. We are moving out of Brooklyn. The morning started out with my 3 year old in tears saying, "I don't want to leave my house in Brooklyn. Brooooooklyn." Leave it to a 3 year old to express exactly how you are feeling. We are on to bigger and better things is what I have to keep telling myself despite my tears. Our closing on the apartment is on Thursday and we will be staying with family for a little while until our renovations are complete on the house. So, let's lift our glasses in a toast to the BK. 8 years of memories. An engagement, a wedding, the first place we bought together and the arrival of our two boys... It's been swell. We will miss you. Thanks for having us.
