Los Porchs Find a New Home {Vintage Style}

April 1 can't come soon enough!  Okay, it can and it will.  There is much to be packed and organized and labeled to death before the big move.  Making matters even crazier?  I won't be here to offer supervision of this move -- which is driving me crazy.

Here's a sneak peek at our new place -- we signed the lease on February 29 and though we arrived at 7:30, we didn't leave until almost 11pm.  I'm excited to have a landlord who enjoys a good beer and can chat about food & entertainment the way we do!  I'm also excited that we found a place with the vintage-y feel with rehabbing done.

They did an amazing job of maintaining the personality of the building while bringing it up to today's standards.
The listing boasted 4 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms.  Let the record show that there are 2 (good-sized) bedrooms, 2 small (won't fit a bed) bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and the biggest flippin' living space I've ever seen.  I fully realize the pictures won't do it justice -- get over it and enjoy my new favorite game:

It's amazing.  I could stand in that blank slate for hours and my greatest urge is to jump on Pinterest and figure out a plan.  Go ahead.  Soak it in.  Let it marinate.  Then share what you would do with this amazingly mold-able space!

The living room



Sunroom (complete with green carpeting -- GO PACK!)


The full bathroom



Half bath
 Guest bedroom


The kitchen



Dining room

There's so much to love about this place and we are so excited to add our flair.  Can you imagine how amazing the 3rd Annual Catalina Wine Mixer will be at this place?!  Le sigh.

Momma K

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?

It doesn't matter how slow you go...

I saw this online the other day and at first, thought how appropriate it is for what Porch & I have been attempting lately (lots of running) but after some deeper thought and revisiting, I've come to think of this as being more fitting for our story on the road to making a tiny human. I think it's appropriate, meaningful, and inspirational all at once.  A great reminder that no matter how slow we move, how many baby steps (no pun intended) we take, as long as we keep moving forward, it's better than giving up in frustration.  I once had a colleague tell me that it was only important that we "keep moving forward, no matter what."  That mantra has stuck with me for years and I've come to apply it personally and professionally.  It's okay that this is taking time.  It's our story and it will never be the same as anyone else's story. Likewise, I am not a runner.  I honestly don't even know why I started running, but damn it.  It feels so ...

It is not 1950; I do not vacuum in pearls.

Hi, it's me - I know it's been a while, but I've been deep inside that bubble I mentioned when everything first happened in November 2020 and I am starting to emerge having done some serious healing and navigating within the trauma of being a suicide survivor and a sole parent. This has nothing to do with that though. I'm dumping this thought here because I need it documented: You know how the conservative crowd tends to use "Well I don't have any children, why should I help pay for the schools?" and "People are just too lazy to work, I don't know why we need social services to help people pay for their child care and food?" I'm noticing those are the same voices I hear in restaurants complaining that there are no servers. No bartenders. No one available to change their oil or to do other trade work. And no one to watch their children.  The CEO of the company I work for posted a big response about how child care is the gatekeeper to folks...
