Outtakes

Our family was profiled on Design Mom's series "Living With Kids" today. It turned out great, but this is what most of the photos you didn't see look like. I am going to do a new photography series and call it "Texting With Pets."

Follow this link to see Living With Kids: AB Chao. Thanks, Gabby! It was super fun.

oh, I loved the interview :) how about a few DEWIT posts for all the folks living outside your camp cities? :)

[Jennica]

It was a great feature...I would love to see more from you in the blog world! Any chance you will ever be coming to Salt Lake City for design camp?

AB, I have a question for you. Every time I see photos of your house, it makes me want to rip down all the horrible fiberboard (or something similar) paneling that has probably been in my 75-year-old house for 60 years and expose and paint the shiplap walls. Were your shiplap walls already exposed when you bought your house? Should I dewit? I'm scared to death that it will be a huge, expensive problem to fix if the walls aren't in perfect condition or have too big of gaps or whatever.

[AB]

It was all done for us by the previous owners, but I do know that they caulked between every single gap, and that it took forever and they ended up hiring friends to help them. I cannot imagine caulking even one wall, much less an entire house including ceilings. But it does look really good, so if you decide to go for it, Godspeed.

That five-year-old texting with her pets made me cry a little bit.

You house is lovely. I really like the grey grout with the white tile on your kitchen backsplash! these photos scream teenager!!

Love the pix! Have a question -- maybe I missed it on your blog, but I spotted that awesome red sofa/settee at the foot of Madeleine's bed, and I'm wondering where it's from, bc I need! ;)

Love this: "That one original beats ten knock-offs." Am trying to stick with this, both at home and with fashion.
