When we had our house built, the builder asked us whether we wanted a gas stove or an electric stove. We went with gas, but never really liked the stove. After a lot of debate, we decided to get an induction stove. This is a stove with a glass top that uses magnetics to warm pots with certain percentage of iron.

Somewhat miraculously, the plumber to turn off the gas to the stove showed up the same morning the stove was delivered, so we were only without a stove for two hours.

Habitat for Humanity will be picking up our old stove.

A few days ago this ceiling fan was installed in my craft room. My partner and I had been discussing swapping out the great room fan and the fan in the main bedroom. I suggested he find an electrician to do the work, and I would like a fan installed in my craft room as well. This fan matches the fan my partner installed in his office last summer. I texted our realtor friend asking if she had a referral for an electrician. New house construction is booming here at present, and it is hard to find electricians who will do small jobs for homeowners. She texted me back a contact, and the electrician showed up the next day!

I think this is my newest favorite thing.

I’ve been trying to do ten to twenty minutes of yoga every morning so I find that having this nook behind the loveseat works well for my mat and yoga blanket.
