A Springtime Update

Hello!! It's been a while and for that I apologize. Just been getting back into working the 2 jobs again as well as getting through escrow on the house here in LA. Things on that front have actually been going very well and I hope to hear about a final loan approval any day now. Looks like I get to move in right after my birthday at the end of May!!!

My dad and I have been talking non-stop about the minor improvements we're planning throughout the house. In addition to finishing off the garage as my home office/music studio, we plan on doing a more historical restoration to the living room/dining room area of the house as well. Here's some EXAMPLES I have found in some Bungalow books (all of which show the re-introduction of the absolute original details and woodwork to the space):







I cannot wait to bring it back to it's jaw dropping awesomeness!!!


On a random note, I found the absolute BEST recipe for a veggie fish chowder in the new Better Homes and Gardens and have made it twice since last Friday. It's got flippin' mashed potatoes in it!! CLICK HERE for the recipe

Wow. Holy self-aware! This post was very atypical of thehighandlow. Well, especially if you go back to about 2 years ago when all I used to do was go out and take pictures of hipsters getting wasted. Things are soooooooooo different now. Polaroid stopped making instant film and I have achieved quite a few goals and set a few more. Makes me think of a previous post I wrote a few months ago about finally having my shit together but not being able to equally share it with anyone. Bummer, sure, but the house will certainly keep me busy while (hopefully) other elements fall into place.

By the way, I have a new comic book character I might try out on thehighandlow. Let's see if I get a little time to put it together....
