our living room the weekend we moved in. july, 2001. (that bump i'm resting my breakfast on is our first daughter e.)
we closed on the house in june. but d took a month to get things somewhat ready. carpet torn-up. floors refinished. wallpaper stripped. (sort of.) a deep cleaning.
the milo baughman chair came through d's parents. the wardrobe i purchased when we lived in that warehouse in mid-city that didn't have any closets. it's long gone. (thanks craigslist.) d build the table. the chair i am in he found curbside just before we found the house. he thought it was good omen that homeownership was headed our way, and had it reupholstered as a rocker for the nursery.
it was good omen.
same spot this morning.
what a wonderful documentation of time.

I love the picture of you! Oh, I see the woman you use to be pre-kids. I think we still would have become good friends...just more glasses of wine and more vintage shopping expeditions. Your house has come a long way baby! ;o)
