If yesterday’s garage door teaser wasn’t enough for you, here it is – my new house!!! Hashtag adulting. As you might have noticed, it is by no means some fancy new mansion. It’s small but strong, built to last, super cute, and full of character. Does that sound like anyone you know? No? Nobody? Oh…well, OK. Moving on then.

We’re still not officially living in the house, but last week my in-laws came in to town to help us with all kinds of stuff. We put my father-in-law to work installing overhead lights and a ceiling fan, replacing our front door, hanging things, and fixing other things. For Father’s Day, we gave him the day (mostly) off, which is when I showered and put on these real clothes so we could all go out to eat, to the museum, and out to eat again. I guess all that time in my “well made” house inspired me to put on this tee (or maybe it was just that it’s new and I hadn’t worn it yet…whatever). It was an especially appropriate shirt for Father’s Day because my dad’s genes are part of what make me so well made. 🙂

Oh yeah… Since my FIL did so much work on my house for free, I told him I would give him a shout out! Congrats, Tim – this will probably be the only time your name is mentioned on a style blog. He might not wear anything that special, but if you live near Greenville, SC, and you have a tree stump to get rid of, call Tim at the number on this truck!

Here it is, guys – my new house’s blog debut! OK, maybe my garage door looks like every other garage door, but this one is special because I own it. I actually kind of like it as an outfit photo backdrop because it’s like a blank canvas with no distractions. And speaking of blank, I’m not coming up with much else to say today. I guess all the new homeowner responsibilities have finally fried my brain. Right now all I can handle is some Orange is the New Black binging. I’ll try to get back to my regular self tomorrow!
