The Story Of Us

For Memorial Day Weekend we planned to leave town for a few days.. we weren't sure how my ankle would be doing by that time so didn't want to book flights plus we were travelling with the boys and my in laws... The weather has been all over the place so a beach vacation was out of the question.. in the end we thought Boston would be the perfect destination. But as the weekend got closer the forecast showed rain and we were on the fence about the whole thing.. Thankfully mother nature was on our side and we left Friday afternoon to beat the rush.. well some of it at least. We checked in to the AC Marriott in Medford. Something to always keep in mind when travelling.. if you have a car then finding a hotel outside the city is often a better option.. It was just a 15 minute drive plus we got free parking..   Saturday morning we woke to a beautiful sunny day and started our day with a great big breakfast at Friendly Toast We followed up breakfast by walking around MIT

Continuing with yet another post where I failed to do my duty as a blogger and totally forgot to take before pictures until it was almost too late. :( For those of you who haven't been following along on our renovation journey here's a look at what we've been up to lately inside our home H's room started out brown.. a milky coffee brown. The walls, the trim, the doors.. they were all painted the same color, the carpet a lighter variation of the same.. By the time I remembered that I forgot to take pictures the painters had already started spackling.  In the meantime the carpet was ripped out and the floors refinished. During the refinishing process we learnt a few things too.. beneath the carpet on the hardwood floor we discovered these stains Turns out the previous family's pet liked to use this room to relieve itself. :( Yup.. gross. We were told that sanding the floor should reduce the stain but they could not guarantee that it would go awa

With every passing window a new frame is hung and another shelf finds a place on our walls.. The process of decorating is definitely more fun than the renovation part.. though not so sure if M would agree since he is the one with the hammer. We started with the master bath and the master bedroom  and you can take a click here to get a peak at all the renovating we have already done. We started with this.. though I of course waited too long.. forgot to do my blogger duty of taking good before pictures.. and by the time I got around to taking the pictures we were at a point in our renovations where we were all sleeping in his room.. Nonetheless this was no cute, fun child room The room was painted a light barely there purple.. It is his current favorite color and since we don't intend to paint the room a different color every time he picks a new favorite we picked something light, Behrs Permafrost.  The gross old carpet was removed.. the floors sand
