From the Inside Out. The Sojourn for a Designed Life. Saturday, August 29, 2009. Thursday, August 27, 2009. They seemed to like the idea of making some knock-off Ikea furniture! Wednesday, August 26, 2009. Living room in a box, right? There were two styles throughout this entire Ikea-sized store—horribly ugly and hideously ugly. The choices were cheaply-made, overly-ornamented, heavily lacquered crap imported from Italy, or Russian imports with a style which was a tasteless hybrid of the Italia...Now mos...

From the Inside Out: October 2009
http://maren-fromtheinsideout.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
From the Inside Out. The Sojourn for a Designed Life. Monday, October 26, 2009. It all happened so quickly really. In a way I don’t even remember it because it happened so fast. One minute we were shivering in an attic drafting shop of the architect we employed going over plans and the next we were having Thanksgiving dinner with 20 people in our new house. Tuesday, October 20, 2009. Wednesday, October 14, 2009. One night Lisa honored me with the comment in her sometimes affected Rhode Island accent, ...

From the Inside Out: The Creation of Destruction
http://maren-fromtheinsideout.blogspot.com/2010/02/creation-of-destruction.html
From the Inside Out. The Sojourn for a Designed Life. Tuesday, February 2, 2010. The Creation of Destruction. The rebuilding of the Girard house would become a very long process that would consume our lives for over a year. We optimistically figured that the fire’s damage had given us a clean slate to build something better. It seemed simple: cut out the charred bits and replace them with something new and fresh.

From the Inside Out: September 2009
http://maren-fromtheinsideout.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
From the Inside Out. The Sojourn for a Designed Life. Tuesday, September 29, 2009. My little boy took it upon his little three year old self to “take care of Mamma.” The truth is that I was nervous about being alone with him with no help so late in my pregnancy, and we rehearsed the. By the time Lisa had prolonged her stay as far as possible, we were pretty sure I was going into early labor. We happened to be at Ikea at the time (remember Lis? The nurses and I will take care of you! 8221; And on went his...

From the Inside Out: Vibes
http://maren-fromtheinsideout.blogspot.com/2010/02/vibes.html
From the Inside Out. The Sojourn for a Designed Life. Wednesday, February 10, 2010. My teenage son and I had an interesting talk the other day about “vibes.” He’s always been perceptive, but in this conversation he described the depth of his perceptions with astonishing eloquence. Most of us know when something just doesn’t “feel” right, but less frequently we listen to those instincts, dissect them and react appropriately. From this experience, my whole perspective on design changed. It went from.

From the Inside Out: Smoke and the Suite Life

From the Inside Out. The Sojourn for a Designed Life. Saturday, January 30, 2010. Smoke and the Suite Life. The next few days were, of course, a crazy blur of activity and it was hard to know who to trust. There are protocols to these things, but when your house doesn’t catch fire every day, it’s a steep learning curve! We thanked God for our wonderful insurance agents on an hourly basis. They were a speed dial on my phone for a year after all this. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Change, of Course.
