This time of year is always strange. The change in season, the daylight saving time change and the holidays are a lot to take in. See, I have a love-hate relationship with change. While I know it’s necessary and always for the best, I fundamentally dislike the initial discomfort it brings. So when all of these overlapping environmental changes affect my routine, I have a hard time catching up. With chores, holiday plans and invitations and ultimately with my own thoughts and feelings. This ‘weirdness’ in the context of the festive holiday atmosphere makes for a bizarre experience. I guess this is what some people call the ‘holiday blues’.

After about a year of planning and  (mostly) procrastinating, here is our first progress post!

We currently have three ongoing projects (from the oldest to the one we  started most recently): the wine cellar, the outdoor patio & fireplace and what we have come to call “the upstairs”.

Today was a big day relocating the stair to “the upstairs” and revamping the blog structure and I’ll begin posting about “the upstairs” in the next few weeks… but right now… we are (I am) the most excited to share the progress with the wine cellar.
