in the beginning...

once upon a time there were 2 architects with 2 wonderful (and very active) children who wanted to build their "first" house. having already spent 9 years living in and updating a 1920's bungalo in charlotte, the couple decided to finally start from scratch in ubercool chattanooga.

first we had to bring all our crap to chattanooga, which took several trips, a storage rental unit, the attic of my wonderful in-laws, and three quarters of the rest of their house. of course, being the eco-minded couple that we are, we took as much "stuff" to habitat restore, salvation army, and goodwill as possible. but kids have a difficult time giving up the toys they no longer play with, they imagine themselves spending hours of focused energy reliving the glory days of last month.

so as we begin our journey, we thought it appropriate to record our adventures for all (or few) to witness the trials-n-tribulations of the whole process. the architect becomes the client. groovy.


some of our stuff
so... merry xmas from the browns. and may you have a wonderful new year in 2008.
