My boyfriend and I just purchased our first house in Charlotte NC after living here for about a year. When we bought the house we knew it need some work (to say the least) so I decided I would start a blog to document all the projects we embark on and the work we do. We also knew that our families, who all still live in the Northeast would want to see everything so instead of posting every single thing to facebook, I'll put them here!
So the machete after which this blog is named.
A little back story... I had decided before we even closed that I wanted to do this blog about our house. I decided that my boyfriend, who is strangely good with coming up with nicknames (ask his siblings for a list of all their names) should be the one to name it. We had gone back and forth with a few, but none were really jumping out at us or made sense. I was getting ready to pick something super generic and boring until the night we started working on the kitchen. We needed (Yes. Needed. Not just wanted to because I wanted them to be nicer, like padre thought, actually needed to.) to paint the cabinets because they were gross which involves taking off all doors. While we were doing that and I was cleaning out all the little lovely gifts the previous owners left, I noticed something in the back corner of one of the cabinets. At first it just looked like something for a grill, but it was so much better. Pat had left the room for something and when I unsheathed it, (never thought I would actually write a sentence like that) I couldn't believe what I had found. After a short photo shoot, we knew our the title of the blog had just written itself.
We're still trying to figure out a good place to mount our first house warming gift. Last Christmas, Pats godfather bought him a beautiful mirror which we'll be hanging over the fire place so we're currently welcoming any suggestion!
