Welcome to Our Portland House!

Drumroll please.

The time has come! 

Let's be honest. We've still got house projects on our to do list.  Some of them are going to be amazing.  But the time has come to share our Portland house on the blog!  We're really excited about the transformation from the sea of tan it once was to a place that feels like home.     

Here's the outside of the house.

And the porch, which we just finished this spring, so it still feels spankin' new.

Somehow the "theme" ended up being rainbow (to the extent that any porch can have a theme.)

I don't think either of us really understands how we ended up with rainbow.

It just sort of happened. By the way, Eddy and I totally made that rainbow bench. Like, all by ourselves. And that's about the full extent of our carpentry skills.

Also we have a bunny door knocker, because obviously we do. Obviously.

There will be a prize at the end of the house tour for the person who can accurately count how many bunnies we have in our house.  Just kidding.  There's no prize.  But please.  Someone count.  I would like to know.

Next we're going to head straight up the stairs to the second floor because if I'm being honest, the first floor is coolest and I want to save it for last. It's the most complete, house project-wise, and it's the most polished. There is still a lot to do upstairs, but here goes.

Just off the stairs is our library.

Remember that time we tried to have a library in our CA house, but it just turned into a dog room? This time we have a real live library and we love to sit up here and read.

This is my workshop, my favorite room in the house and where I spend most days dreamily working away on pretty quilts and weavings and what-nots.

Please note the pit bulls snoring below my standing cut and press station.

The photos really don't capture how heavenly this room is. It might be my favorite. Except it's not because I really love all the rooms in this house. Stay tuned!
