Brooklyn Home Inspiration

Brooklyn House Hunting

Hello, DOPT friends. The 3rd sister here. Like Lisa mentioned recently, it's been eons since we've posted. (I know, lame.) Lately its just been Karina posting. (Thanks, Karina!) But it's true. Work/life events have completely overrun my schedule, most notably - house hunting!

My husband and I have been married for three years and have moved apartments four times! I know - nuts! But crazy New York circumstances (ahem, co-op board problems and our own penchant for living in trendy neighborhoods) have made it difficult to stay put.  Finally though, our game of home-musical-chairs may soon be coming to an end because we are currently looking to buy a two bedroom home in Brooklyn. As a nester, I am insanely excited. Finally, a home we will truly be able to call our own. Where we can build things, tear down walls, and customize to our liking without having to think about the property owner.

Since I'm hoping this will happen some time soon, I have begun a collection of inspiration photos, if you'd like to see. Here are a few selects and my Brooklyn board here if you'd like to follow.

I'm curious, how many times have you moved in your life? Did you know the average American moves 11.7 times in a lifetime! And other fun facts on moving.

Anyone else looking to buy right now? What's on your wish list? Here is ours...

Rachel + Darren: "Our Secrets to a Happy Marriage"

As we continue to fundraise for our film, After the Wedding, we're very excited to feature our fourth couple today as part of our 'Secrets to a Happy Marriage" series. We met Rachel and Darren several years ago and they are, by far, one of the most fun couples we know. Read on to hear what they have to say about happy relationships. 

Carlos & Chiara: "Our Secrets to a Happy Marriage"

We're so excited to feature our third couple, Carlos and Chiara, for our special marriage series, "Secrets to a Happy Marriage!" This series is in honor of our film After the Wedding, a dramedy about the first year of marriage. If you haven't already, please check out our Kickstarter campaign and show your support. If you like these posts, we think you'll enjoy our film.

And now without further ado, Carlos and Chiara's incredibly sweet story! It'll make you bubbly inside. :)

Congratulations Kati + Owen!

Congratulations to our very amazing friends, Kattia and Owen! They recently got married in San Francisco in a private ceremony and it looks like it was the most beautiful day. We can't wait for them to post more photos.

On that note, it seems like everyone is getting married and engaged this summer! I love weddings and am so excited for the next one we attend in upstate NY at the end of summer. How about you readers? Are you engaged or planning to attend any weddings soon? If so, we'd love to hear how the planning is going!

Also, Refinery 29 just posted some bridesmaid dresses last week, which I thought were pretty nice. Check 'em out!

Hope you all had a great weekend! ♥
