Sean and I are both very much in love with this house, but living in a construction sight can be taxing at times. I have noticed that we go through phases of powerful drive and inspiration followed by long periods where nothing spectacular happens to the let love rule house. Renovation doldrums.

I am nearly without words in my effort to explain the excitement surrounding the staircase project. It is so rare that we get to focus our efforts on the interior of our space in this house. We plan on having the outside of the house completely painted by the end of the summer. Anyone taking bets? Of course, we will need to replace the let love rule sign on the back. I'd like to come up with a better design. We are open to suggestions.
