A Long Time

It seems that no one posts after they move in. I guess it is because we are all so busy for so long putting things away, trying to decorate, and come up with the money for landscaping our backyards. Then there is regular life..... friends, family and all that other stuff. We have not done much to our house lately. After having the landscaping completed in the backyard we suffered some sticker shock. Then we bought some art but one picture was shipped and had issues, the other needs to be reframed. So there they sit, those two pictures in the same spot and nothing has been done. We will have been here for a year in November so I hope that changes soon. We did have one rectangular pot done for the front patio so we will post that and hopefully get more done!

There was a vacation this month (which has not occured for over a year) and went to San Fransico and Monrovia California to visit my brother and his girlfriend. She lives in San Fran and has a very cute place which was built in the early 1900's. She has the midcentury modern thing going on and I took some pictures below.

She has furniture from her parents (they saved it for her) from the early 60's. The couch, chair and I believe pictures are all from that time period.

Although the kitchen is small they added Ikea cabinets which gave them more storage.

This is the dining area, only room for two people, but cute.

We went to the science academy and I love those jellyfish.

One of the more famous San Fran scenes. Fully restored victorian houses with a backdrop of the city.
