2008: A Year in Review

Here's a quick executive summary on the projects we tackled this past year. It's exciting to see all the progress we've made, yet a teeny bit overwhelming with what's still to be done.

Spruced up the atrium.

Gutted the kids' bathroom

Cleared out the backyard

Installed new exterior lights

Planted bamboo

Installed new house numbers

Fixed downspouts

Installed more exterior lights

Painted exterior

Built new flower beds

... and nearly finished the bathroom! The drywall is done, cabinets are ready to install, tile is up. Just need to get the floor installed so we can put it all in.

Atomic Ranch—Fall 2008 Now Out!

The new issue of Atomic Ranch has finally hit the newsstands. We held our MCM League yard sale this weekend, and the sneak preview issue of the magazine was the biggest hit.

Our magazine arrived in the mail today! The article Working Class Heroes (page 18) features the home and collections of our good friends, Marci and Austin. (Pages 20-23) Their place is amazing... and their "lowbrow lanai" is fantastic. Check it out... it wasn't done when the magazine did the photo shoot, but you can see it on the MCM League forums!

This issue also has the very first ad for the Mid-Century Modern League! (Page 58) Very cool!

Steve's in Phoenix on business and just ate dinner at Trader Vics... I spent my evening blogging. Hmmmm, I'm logging out now to go read my issue of Atomic Ranch from cover to cover.
