    Thinking of some living room inspiration. Caught t Thinking of some living room inspiration. Caught this lovey blue couch on set a few months ago at my (Noreen’s) “day job” hand modeling.  Loved the simplicity and greenery!

We are thinking navy couch, simple paint for walls, and a Sputnik light. 

Anyone have good neutral paint recommendations out there?

    You know what I love about a stack of lumber? It You know what I love about a stack of lumber?

It signifies hope. 

Something new is coming.

Something new has yet to be.

A creator is going to come along, presto-change-o, and whip that stack of lumber into a new being.

There's your mushy #Tuesdayinspiration, fellow homeowners.  Go make something new!

    You need someone in your corner that says, "GO FOR You need someone in your corner that says, "GO FOR IT." Big dreams need big support. 

We never would have bought our two family house without this guy telling us to.  Meet Noreen's Dad, @karldhughes, the mastermind, house whispering, master carpenter who has been an incomparable support to us at Our Two Family. 

He's been there for every project, big or small, coaching us, helping us, and knee-deep in demolished plaster with us to get our house renovated.

You may notice in our recent stories that the tables have finally turned.  Dad has ripped out the only full bathroom in his house - yikes! - and we are HERE FOR IT.  We can't wait to help in any way we can! 

Before and afters are coming at you soon, but for now, enjoy watching the process, one piece of sheetrock at a time.
