Tag, You’re It

Cha-cha-cha-cha-changes.

Some of you already noticed that after Friday’s new house news we made a little tagline switcheroo in our blog header. Since it no longer seemed accurate to describe our site as “two young people falling in love with their first house” (and “two young people making the emotional decision to leave their first house so that they can take on new projects and have more room to grow” seemed a bit long-winded) we opted for this new one:

New Tagline

It’s no “Got Milk?” but we like that it now incorporates Clara & Burger instead of sounding like it’s the John & Sherry show (let’s be honest, our kids are the real stars of this production). And you know I love a good math reference worked in there whenever possible. We just hope it sort of explains what the heck “Young House Love” means in the first place. Because admittedly it’s not the most self-explanatory website name in the world.

    I love it! Are you going to keep your old house tour tab at the top? I love scrolling through it for inspiration.

      Hey Jennifer,

      Yup, we’ll probably rename it to say “old house” and add another tab that says “current house” or something to that effect. Can’t wait!

    I was wondering when that would change! Best luck and courage in this new endeavor! Will the livingroom mood board Sherry recently posted be a candidate in this soon-to-be-your-home? I like her ideas, but think I’ll for something more muted : we have a whole house (and not a lovely old one, but a brand-spanking new one–sorry) to furnish and decorate next summer.
    By the way, have you heard of the website KU kuler? http://kuler.adobe.com/#themes/search?term=muted%20blue was a recent search of mine. I’ve found it helpful (I’m not color savvy at all!). Hope it can be of use to someone!

      Hey Shauna,

      That’s definitely a look that I’m crazy about now, but who knows what we’ll really end up with once we move and start hunting around for furniture and slowly cobbling the whole house together! One thing is for sure- we can’t wait to find out how our style will evolve over the next few years (especially since it changes so much over the last four in this house).

      Hey Shelly,

      We actually thought it up pretty quickly. We love a good math reference, and of course switching from couple to family made sense so then it was just trying to fill in the blanks from there (and connect the words young, house, and love so that they kind of made sense). Glad you like it!

    Nice! I’m a newish reader, having just stumbled upon your site when looking for info on painting kitchen cabinets. Yesterday I *thought* there was something different but couldn’t put my finger on it. The bit that pops up when my cursor is on this window tab says “one young couple + old house = love” or something like that – caught my attention.

    ’nuff rambling from me. Can’t wait to see a tour of the new old house in all its dated glory. :)

    Guys, Daylight Savings only applies to the hours not the days, so today is still Sunday and NOT Monday…(shocked that there’s a post from you today)
    Congratulations on your new home. I am so excited for you guys and cannot wait to see what you tackle with the new space. Hopefully your design evolution from “grown up” to “child-like” will result in one huge romper room in the new home. Or at least a playroom, will there be a playroom?

      Haha, we would love to inject some romper room fun to the new house! We’re still in the beginning stages of planning but we hope to fit a lot of play-space into the house and create lots of rooms that multitask!

    I cant wait wait wait until Clara starts pulling all your beautiful decorations off your shelves so that you have to think of some ingenuis way for me to decorate around my 17 month old son! Not that I want your little ceramic animals broken, but I know you guys will come up with some great alternative to be able to have a beautiful home and a beautiful messy baby… and I cant wait to see what you come up with, and steal it and adapt it for my own home!!

    Love the new subtitle, and love the new house! I live in VA too (Fairfax) and i am partial to the brick ranches in the old neighborhoods here. We have a lot of them in our own ‘hood, although we ended up with a 1953 split level (which had the coveted master bath–woo hoo! unlike the ranches in the area.)

    anyway, if you decide to DIY taking out any walls, will you PLEASE post step by step pics, because we have a few non-load-bearing walls that I’d love to remove (or make half-walls), but I don’t know if it’s a DIY project, or if I really need to bring in contractor help. I’d love to just have half the wall gone when my hubby comes home from work one night ;-)

    FYI: As a Motherof twins (boy and girl), thanks, I know; I suggest you glue evrthing down and to the wall and cover everything in bubblewrap. If there is a way to break it, tear it, lose it or stick it in her mouth, she will find it! :) Good luck on parenthood. It’s a whole new life! Fun+Kids=Unconditional Love Forever! Although New sofa+baby vomit=eew, it’s all worth it.

My hubby and I just finished unpacking the last box in our first house yesterday, and I am looking around going “OMG, I can’t wait to paint!” and all I can think is how excited you must both be to be facing the same thing :) I’ll no doubt be getting some inspiration from you guys!

    Love the new tag line! By the way, I think it is so cute that you include Burger in “the kids”. My parents always referred to the dogs as their “kids” and our “sisters”, a term that I often silently protested. When my mom would tell me to “Let your sister outside”, I would shove my human sister out into the cold instead…and occasionally lock the door.

    Congrats on your home purchase. I recently stumbled upon your site and after about 3 weeks of continuous reading through your RSS feed I finally thought that it was time to come on and say “Hello!”

    Your site is just amazing. The style, your tone – In fact, I just forwarded your blog on with this exact phrase “I love this site…so much”.

    Best of luck on your new home purchase. I cannot wait to see what’s next. :o)
