Why vote?
People have asked me many times since we started our blog why we decided to let other people make decisions about our home instead of just doing it ourselves. It’s a good question and we have a number of answers. One is, as we have said before, we don’t love making decisions ourselves and this takes that burden away. Thank you for that, dear readers and voters! Another is, someday we will want to sell this house (more on when “someday” might be in this post) and the more opinions we get from all of you, the more likely we are to consider every opinion of a potential buyer. Another is, as personal as home decisions may be, there are many people who read this blog who have experiences and/or training that I do not have and they are kind enough to share ideas and knowledge that I wouldn’t have access to without this forum. I am SO grateful for that. That said, whether you are formally trained in something design related, have experimented with your own house, or just spend a lot of time watching HGTV- we value your feedback and opinions so much and hope that you will keep sharing them with us.
On our last blog post, we showed off our baby girl’s nursery and the response was amazing. We are so grateful for each and every one of you who took the time to check out our work. We are still floored by the positive feedback we received from all of you! You made us feel so special! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Now, instead of giving you a full tour of our son’s bedroom, we would like to first ask for your help with making a fairly big decision. If you have been around for a while, you remember that we took a vote last year on whether or not to build a loft in our son’s bedroom. Originally, we thought for sure that every single person would vote “yes” but then the votes started coming in and you guys really surprised us. For a while, we thought the loft was quite possibly going to be voted down. In the end, you voted for happiness the loft and all was right in the world.
Hi everyone! It has been a couple of weeks since our last blog post and we have been busier than ever working on multiple rooms. If you remember, we asked our readers last month to decide whether or not we should build a loft in our son’s bedroom. I was 99% sure that the pro-loft voters would prevail, but it was not at all the blowout vote that I expected it to be. People don’t believe me when I tell them that we have no control over which way the vote goes. We are really not tech-savvy enough to control the voting plugin that we use (if that is even possible) and just like all of you, we only get one vote per personal device. Sometimes, we are at home biting our nails and just hoping that the vote goes the way we want it to. Truthfully, it doesn’t always and that’s actually part of the fun! This time, we were very much Team Loft and were so excited to get started on the project.
I am sure you would like to see the progress that has been made in the room so far, so without further ado…
