We are two musicians who bought a little house with an outbuilding. We’re fixing up both buildings and the yard, and turning our property into our little dream in the city. The house needs lots of work, and we’re trying to restore it and make it even better than when it was built in 1918.

Since we’re both musicians, we’ve turned the outbuilding (formerly a neglected wood shop) into a recording studio. We’ve also been working on transforming the yard into a little, park-like sanctuary, with some raised bed vegetable gardens, too.

We’ve found so many other personal blogs helpful whenever we have questions, or when we are looking for ideas for our renovation projects, so we decided to try to keep track of our own. Hopefully we can help inspire others with similar endeavors!
