Our Peanut Project: Terra cotta touches
http://ourpeanutproject.blogspot.com/2012/07/terra-cotta-touches.html
Thursday, July 12, 2012. My favorite road in the world is a scenic byway to Moab. Utah from my hometown of Grand Junction, Colorado. Much of it parallels the Colorado River as it runs through Castle and Professor Valleys. A desert that lights up the color of tomato soup red at sunset. Driving, peddling, or paddling this corridor at sunset is one of the most sublime color experiences you’ll witness. All colors are variations of the warm, bold color of baked earth, or terra cotta. Since then, Rising Sun.

Thursday, March 29, 2012. The final (inside) kitchen demo. Things you discover behind walls. Just when it appears we had accomplished so much with demo.there were still the floors to pull up. With less energy on Sunday, and Nico demoing solo, the progress taking out the floor was slow going. We had found some really crazy stuff under those torn-down walls. Taped wires, roof held up by a few inches of wood, and other interesting carpentry. Attitude in which we're immersed, I even tried affirmations:.

Our Peanut Project: The infamous retaining wall - our first big project
http://ourpeanutproject.blogspot.com/2012/02/infamous-wall-our-first-big-project.html
Friday, February 24, 2012. The infamous retaining wall - our first big project. 65279;. Note the original stone retaining wall in the process of failing. 65279;. Cracks in our yard from subsidence. Does insurance cover new rebuilt failing wall? Although the "builders" who flipped the house rebuilt the wall as per our closing agreement, they rebuilt it upside down! Cracks also developed across the yard above the wall and along the sidewalk. Some men move gravel; Peter moves boulders. Sera mentioned me...

Our Peanut Project: The BIG details of the kitchen
http://ourpeanutproject.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-big-details-of-kitchen.html
Sunday, March 3, 2013. The BIG details of the kitchen. Although many decisions of our kitchen remodel were pretty efficient—our little Peanut’s birth came closer every day—we tried to make decisions with intention. There’s a story to most everything in the kitchen; here’s the details of some of the big. We love the look of cement and slate countertops, so were impressed to find something similar with quartz from an Ohio-based company, Granex. Of all places, we found this countertop at Ikea. They fabricat...

Our Peanut Project: August 2012
http://ourpeanutproject.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 26, 2012. Just like at the hairdresser. You know when you get a haircut, how the hairdresser turns you away from the mirror while they do their magic? After your cut, they dry and style your hair just right, making a few extra trims that you can only feel because your back is to the mirror. You know it’s cut; you know it’s styled. But you can’t see it. Then, you know the final touch is made because there’s a pause. And, l'artist. Which sounds more exciting to you? Idea to use soffit (thick...
