it's home

So, the summer o' work has ended and Mom and Dad are currently packing up the truck to pull out of this L.A. tomorrow morning, heading toward the other LA. We've accomplished quite a lot this summer (and by "we" I pretty much mean "they") and if it wasn't for them coming here for three busy, work-filled months, I definitely wouldn't be in this house. But, it feels cozy now, and the potential I saw when I first walked into this old, messed up house is now a reality. Sure, there are still a few boxes that need to be unpacked and things need to be organized, but it's definitely liveable.

I was going to make this post a recap of the entire summer, posting tons of before and after photos, but we have a party to get to with fireworks and everything, so that'll have to come later (or you can just browse back through the blog). But, here are our after photos...
