What I've Been Up To Lately
Let me start this post by offering the requisite apology for my absence here lately. I've been a sporadic little blogger, huh? I haven't been sitting around eating bonbons and watching soap operas; instead, I've been busy settling in and starting many tasks around the house.

Built in 1955, the house was lovingly maintained by the original owners and retained many of the ear-marks of mid-century design.
