These are photos from the first day, after the drywallers finished in the office. I can’t tell you how exciting this was to see. The in-progress state is just so different from what we’ve known this room to be.

Installing a Hideaway Ironing Board

Liz was gifted an old ironing board (it was in Najwa and Joe’s condo, and was something they were removing prior to their renovations). We’ve had it at our place for a while, and were finally in a place to install it this weekend.
