second house...

dare i say it? the second house is done???  the timing of walker's contribution (the woodwork and finishes and basically the entire house) was awesome with boone's arrival.  and because things don't translate well into print, imagine me saying "awesome" super sarcastic and actually pretty angry.

this house has been a huge learning process for walker and i.  what did we learn?  oh that it was more expensive and took way longer than anticipated. wait.  that is how every.single.project has been.  the deal was when i agreed to this little project was that it wouldn't cut into family time and we would stick to budget....ha! to be fair, it was hard on walker not being around.  he was up early and home late for three months strait.  sometimes he would go three to four days without even seeing boone.  it was really awesome when i went back to work (again sarcasm and print) and because i am a supportive wife, i would say things like, "boone is going to remember this"... hey - what can i say,  i have been a single mom,  i can say whatever i want.  and the cool part was, he felt so guilty about breaking the deal that most of the time he would just take it or do what he does best when i cry - he cries too.  and then i just feel bad because he is a grown man. i think he does it on purpose.  genius.

back to the house.  despite the above, the finished product is amazing. wt's attention to detail is beyond. from the tall ceilings, to the tall doors hand made from reclaimed wood, to the carefully sourced materials through out the house. It really is amazing how keeping it simple is what makes this house unique. whoa, deep thoughts from Libba.  super modern, super clean, super impressive.  my brother helped out with the landscaping...
