Worst Idea Ever...

We started seriously mulling over the idea of making a move to LA at the end of the summer. We looked at some houses, some we got serious about, others we just perused. Then one evening, I walked through this little gem at the top of a hill. Little is right.... it's smaller than our current place.It doesn't look like much, but do you see what's behind that house.... Nothing... that's right... just hillside and a large flat backyard. It's got potential... LOADS of potential. And I love this kitchen, even though it's old. It's charming and I think I'll look just like Donna Reed making dinner in there. Also, out that Kitchen window is a spectacular view of Los Angeles! So we bought this place, got the keys a few weeks ago and move in a few days. For those of you doing the math... that means Christmas looks like this.... (note the moving boxes)
And instead of Christmas Cards, I'm working on these... It's plans for an addition on to this little house. Psst!! See the blue striped paper, that's a pool! Christmas + Moving + Planning for an addition = Worst Timing Ever!

Love it! That kitchen looks like mine. (Except my view looks out on an abandoned crack house, a bunch of Chinese elm trees, the back of the Star Saloon, and the PG library beyond.)

P.S. Oh, um..."PG" = Pleasant Grove. Pardon my local dialect.

P.P.S. Also, my kitchen is never that clean. And I don't resemble Donna Reed in the least little bit.
