areas of my abode

Open door

Welcome to my home. Ok, it’s really "corners of my home", but everyone on the internet uses that phraseology and I wanted to be different. :)

We’re officially celebrating our 1 year anniversary in our house this month, and along with that almost every day this week we have been celebrating the fact that we are NOT moving. Our move from one year ago was so mentally and physically exhausting that it is still too fresh in our memory. And now we are so excited as we feel as if we have been granted all this extra "time" this season just because we’re not moving. Going up and down 36 uneven outdoor steps up the side of a hill  (we lived in Laurel Canyon), 100 or so times over one week, carrying large bins of stuff, is an experience that one does not forget easily.

So, since we are celebrating our home so much over here, I thought it might be fun to finally share a glimpse inside with you, also since I promised them to you last year, I wanted to make good on my promise.

Believe it or not I’m actually somewhat of a private person ~ can you have a blog and a podcast and still be private? I think so. And I’m probably private mostly in regards to my personal life. I don’t really carry on here too much about my personal life, because this blog has been focused mostly on my work combined with moments when I feel like standing on my soapbox and sharing ideas with you. So either I’m opening up to you more, or since seeing other people’s real homes is one of my favorite things about the blogging world (thanks to all of you who share your homes by the way!), I thought you might enjoy seeing more of my home. And selfishly it’s really just an excuse for me to appreciate my house even more, something as I mentioned, we’ve been doing  a lot lately ~ Because while it was a stretch for us to make this move last year, it has worked out better than we could have hoped in so many ways.

So welcome to my home, as each week I’ll open the door a little further for a glimpse into my world.

It is always so lovely to see a little snippit of someone elses world, and this pic looks so peaceful and bright! Happy home anniversary :)
Oh, Marisa! Congratulations on your 1 years dwelling anniversary. Just looking at the picture of your door reminds me of the happiness I had creating in your home during our caffeine-infused art day! Big hugs!
I'm excited as well. And how cute is this photo?!?!
