Sporadic: we have two kids and a dog and they are all crazy, wild, and energetic and need more space. We have a large extended family who now have to sleep on the couch and floor, and aging parents who have to stay in hotels hen they visit which gets pricey. So we needed a place with space for kids and relatives to spread out a bit as well as a quieter street for bikes and scooters etc. Otherwise we wouldnt move!

Oh the orange in our bedroom is "Cayenne" from C2 paint company. The shoe storage on the landing is a hacked ikea job. It came with two front legs and is meant to fit over the Baseboards but our baseboards are too high so we sawed them off.

Wow, so many nice comments! It's funny how you live with your own things and assume they are just ho-hum. It helped that we were de-cluttering for the open house! So you guys deserve some answers. First of all the Mrs Small sign is by artist Wendy Snauffer who makes signs based on obituaries in small town papers and used the exact same metal and enamel used in street signs. The sofa was from a home furnishing store in Providence called "Abode." They are no longer in business. It was very affordable and manufactured in Noth Carolina. The sweet dog, Penny, is a rescue mutt mostly redbone coon hound from Tennesee. The grass looks like hell thanks to her pee! And the lamp in the living room was just Pottery Barn or some place like that.

I have to say Sarah's lovely photos make the house look so spacious! But its small for our big spirited family. Our new place will afford us the room to invite our friends and parents whereas this house has no space for guests. The new house will need years of loving to get it to where it has the same sweet vibe as this dear old place! Thanks for looking everyone!

Since we are all friends, facing each other is actually nice: we lean past our monitors and chat, sometimes real conversations about life, sometimes just "what *is* this typeface...?" So that aspect of work is wonderful. Social. Warm. Friendly. The cables, yeah, a reality we are living with.
