This question would have been better asked a few months ago, but better late than never: “Any tips for how to select contractors for your home office project(s)?” Jason Alba: My [...]
Pictures of our New House
We moved into our new house a few weeks ago, and I think we’ve emptied just about every single box! As you can see from the photo thumbnails, Ponzi still has to empty the boxes for her new home office. Seems like she’s been doing laundry non-stop, and we finally got all the clothes picked [...]
