After six months of squeezing into my studio apartment in Russian Hill, we moved to our very own condo in SoMa. It’s an old house with beautiful bones and lots of space, but it needed some updating.
We started moving in July 2011, and almost two months later…we are still moving in! It is getting transformed slowly, room by room. It’s amazing what some new paint and a few updates can do. It’s even more amazing how much time it can take! Along the way, we discovered the extensive and exhaustive world of DIY home improvement blogs, and stand in awe of all the things people have done themselves.
Since we are newbies to this whole thing, we didn’t tackle doing our own tiling or anything structural. But we did exhaustive research on IKEA hacks, painting and shelf building. Next up will be wallpaper hanging, reupholstering and maybe even some furniture building. Stay tuned!
