The best part of Christmas this year was being all together as a family. Now that we live and work in different places, it is sometimes difficult to coordinate our schedules. Luckily, it worked out for us this year. Family is what makes challenging projects, like this house, possible. Kyle and I are both blessed with amazing parents and siblings, who have been cheering us on from the get-go. Gifts were very much house-themed this Christmas. Kyle and I gratefully accepted many household items. We even received a new toilet with all of the necessary bathroom accessories to go with it :). Given that this Friday will be January 1st, I have decided to focus on New Year's resolutions for this post. Usually, I avoid making resolutions, because of the possibility of not following through with them; however, I am hoping that this blog will keep me accountable. Below are a few of my house-related goals for 2016: 1. Learn how to lay hardwood flooring 2. Help Kyle install the insulation 3. Come up with creative ways to display some of the objects we've found during the renovation 4. Have a BBQ over at the house to thank all of our family and friends for their support 5. Continue to blog until Kyle and I are in 212 I am going to end the year with a couple of shots of the house in 2015. I cannot wait to see how these rooms have changed by this time next year. More to come from 212 in 2016! * The amazing photography is courtesy of Kyle

About MeKyle and I just became new homeowners. The house we purchased is not what one would classify as "move in ready"; in fact, it is quite the opposite. Built at the turn of the 20th century, our Victorian style house is both beautiful and terrifying in its ancient status and will be a project in renovation. This is a documentation of our triumphs and lessons learned, as we deconstruct and reconstruct this house. The end result? A space that we can proudly say we created. Archives
