Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #976

our neighbors received historic status for their home last summer. just stumbled upon the file on-line. they put so much love into their home. we are very happy for them. (plaque ceremony should be soon!)

Cultural Heritage Commission Recommendation Report


the neighborhood has been identified as a potential historic district.

good news for all of us!

looking for some colour

we need some colour on the wall of our bedroom patio...

we are looking at a diy project with the girls this weekend. i think something like these would look very pretty hanging on the wall - and would make good use of our large stick collection.

the chooks are happy with it.

great article on Fickett as well - who for a while our neighborhood was attributed to.

couple of errors - but nothing major. laughed at the quote about feeling like i am in the backyard (i am in the backyard!) and kind of fun to think of myself as a painter!

10 yrs

we moved into this house over the july long weekend 2001.

i was 6 mos pregnant with our first daughter. and it was so hot.

while there are still some finishing touches to do (and hopefully we will do this summer!) d has really made this house a home. a labour of love growing alongside our family.






we've come a long way baby.
