It’s been nearly 9 months since the last time Georgia Tech took the field and played a real game of football, thankfully that long draught comes to an end today. Georgia Tech looks to build upon the late season success that they put together last year, putting together a 5-3 record over the final 8 […]

Vanity Finally Goes In
I’m not going to get into the saga of how long it should or should not take a company to ship you a vanity, but let’s just leave it at our idea of reasonable is much faster than The Home Depot’s. With that being said, our new vanity officially got to the condo on Tuesday […]
“Yogi” Bears
Charles has worked hard over the last year to improve his golf game. His backswing, his grip, and his posture have all come under scrutiny by the golf pro he has been working with. Much has improved and Charles is closer than ever to reaching that sub 100 number on the course that he has […]
Read all instructions before commencing
You know how your teacher always told you to read all instructions prior to starting your test? And inevitably there was always that one teacher that wanted to be funny and have the last question say something like “Do no answer any questions, turn in the test blank.”? Well that was our weekend, except in […]
New Lights are In
There are several designers tips for making a small space feel larger, and having the appropriate amount of light is #1. Other tricks include, keep the color pallet light (aka light wood finish, paint, and tile), using large tiles, vertical lines, separating the bottom 1/3 of the wall form the top 2/3, large crown molding, […]
Somehow it got even cooler
The weather in Atlanta has officially lost its mind – it never got above 75 this week. I have had to constantly remind myself that we are in the middle of August and not the middle of October or November. With the extremely unseasonably cool weather this entire summer, Jes and I have had to […]
All of the lights….
I think an appropriate title for the this post could also have been “All of the Lowe’s” but then I wouldn’t have had an excuse to link to one of our favorite songs. The first part of that video is a very pretty instrumental version of the rest of the song that I think everyone […]
Clean. Beautiful. Grout.
This weekend has turned out to be mostly a project planning weekend for various reasons. The most notable of which is the fact that the final decisions on what to do with the mirror and lighting had not been made, but I am happy to report that is has officially been solved. After much deliberation […]
Football is almost here…
In a bit of non-family news, one of my groomsman (Clayton Tino) successfully defended his doctoral thesis yesterday and we are both extremely proud of him. He is now officially Clayton Tino, Ph.D. He’s been on a rampage with emails so far with his new found title and I wouldn’t be surprised if I have […]
New Floors – Here We Come
Today actually went about as well as we could have hoped for. The biggest hiccup was probably the fact that all of our water shutoff valves are so old they don’t actually shut the water off completely. Obviously when trying to remove a toilet and vanity, this makes things somewhat difficult. My genius work around […]
