the couple who does this blog was on the nate show today. their blog shows their whole home and everything they’ve done to make it look amazing. and alot of it is DIY. i looove their home and hope that i can do something like this to my own first house! i think older houses have such character and really love when people make them look more modern. check it out!

before shots of my new place

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 09:01:37 -0400

these pictures were taken about 5 minutes after i got my keys. my house is an older place in broadripple but it has a lot of potential. the place is completely empty. and my mom and i spent 6 hours cleaning after this point. it looks kind of depressing in these pictures but it’s coming along!

view from when you walk in the front door. my living room. kind of dark at the moment, i had no lamps in there yet.

view from the kitchen to the front door.

view from living room into the kitchen

from back door looking in.

my bathroom. most difficult part? a lot of these old houses don’t have outlets in the bathroom! ahhhh. and covering the window has been tricky. i do not want creepers seeing me shower. but i think i’ve got a solution! more to come on that…

my office. the rooms are hard to get pictures of…

my bedroom. with this gross dark green on the wall. lots of painting will be happening…

my coat closet. with steps in it. i think it leads to an attic. it has a little door in the ceiling. but i’m too creeped out to look into it…

happy birthday beebs!

first bite

this past sunday was kif’s birthday but unfortunately i was on vacation with my parents. so on thursday i decided to make him dinner at my new place. it took me, my mom, and my grandma but we finally got the kitchen together enough for me to make a meal. the menu? michael chiarello’s his & her surf and turf, steamed veggies, and a chocolate cake i made from scratch (very delicious i might add).

my new place

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 14:49:46 -0400

i haven’t updated in a while and since i’m home sick from the hospital i figured today would be the day. most exciting thing happening right now (aside from finishing up at Community hospital, another story) is that i will be moving into my new place soon. i am leasing a side of a house in broadripple/butler area. it is about 900 square feet and i LOVE it. i get the keys on the 15th (thursday!) so i will be before pictures up soon. like allie and coumarb i’ve been stalking decorating/furniture websites and can’t wait to start. its a two bedroom (i’ll be working from home so i need an office) with washer/dryer, screened in porch, and lawn care included. i’m sure you’ll be hearing more about my neighbor. he’s a retired veteran who’s missing part of a leg. he has a bunch of dogs and sits around the house gran torino style. i’ve been told he keeps an eye out on the street and will keep me safe. exactly the kind of weird, creepy thing i’m looking for. ;)

yesterday, kiffer left for kenya for 3 weeks. kenya’s dental school is only 2 years old so it is very primitive. Kiffer, 2 classmates, and 4 professors all went to kenya to help with the school and promote oral health around the area of eldoret. in kenya, there are only 600 dentist to serve 36 million people. he will get to have some fun there too (safaris, etc). he’s going to blog about his trip on jambokiffer.tumblr.com

after college

Tue, 01 Jun 2010 22:58:28 -0400

after completing my bachelors degree in 2008, i started grad school at purdue university for a masters in speech language pathology. after getting my butt kicked for two years i can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. i am currently in the middle of my medical externship at community east. before that, i spent 8 weeks at carmel elementary. in the past months it’s become very clear to me that i’m meant to work with kids. the hospital is just not my thing! i will be graduating on august 7th and i can’t wait to put m.a. after my name!

here we go...

after reading so many of my friend’s blogs, i decided to start one of my own. i am about to start a new chapter in my life so i thought this would be a good way to share it!
