Making a House a Home

When I move into a new place the first thing I have to do to make it a home is hang artwork. We had been in the house for 2 and a half weeks before I finally hung up a picture (it's in the 1/2 bath on the main floor). I was waiting for Bill to make the first move—apparently hanging artwork isn't as important to him as it is to me. Bill's first let's-make-this-place-a-home action was setting up his bass amps. Good times were had by all.

But, a lot more needs to happen before we're settled. Painting, some more unpacking/deciding what really needs to stay packed, and really taking the opportunity to do some art. To that end, Bill and I spend Saturday painting the kitchen. It looks great. Monday is his bedroom, and then hopefully mine.
