So I've been away for quite some time... it seems being in a dual graduate program doesn't leave much time for anything fun... I'm living in a one bedroom apartment in St. Louis and there's not much I can do with it so I'm looking for a small house to buy so I can make it my own space. Unfortunately St. Louis homes are completely different than homes on the East Coast so I'm not having much luck (but if anyone knows someone selling a house in South St. Louis, feel free to let me know!).

I like contemporary-ish designs. I like clean lines and spaces free from clutter but that are warm and welcoming at the same time. I'm not exactly a guru of any kind, but if there's something that needs done, I figure out how to do it and make it happen. I've tiled a 600sqft basement (the biggest project I've taken on so far) and I can work with wood, sew, and do just about anything I've come across a need for so far. There's just something satisfying about taking something and making it your own, having that feeling of accomplishment and also having the end result!
