A little over a month ago, we bought our first house. Every single day since then we have been tearing, scraping, stroking, rubbing, and hammering on some surface until complete exhaustion overcomes us or at least a mean blister appears.
In some cases the work has been so good that it appears like nothing has been done. To me that’s the best compliment – it means the craftsmanship and design match everything else, and that’s what I’m going for.
