In addition to getting married this year, we became homeowners for the first time in May! We found a mid-century modern style house in East Knoxville that we love, and now we’re beginning to tackle the first projects of what will likely be a few years of renovation. Projects will include renovating the currently unfinished downstairs into more living/working space, refinishing hardwood floors, renovating the kitchen and bathrooms, landscaping, painting, electrical, and more. It will certainly be a lot of work, but we’re excited to get started! If you’d like to make a contribution to our home renovation fund in lieu of a physical wedding gift, there’s a link below that will allow you to do so.

You can leave a note along with your contribution, so if you have any advice for new homeowners — the best updates/investments you ever made in a house, how to choose a general contractor, what to do when you get too ambitious with the weed eater and accidentally cover yourself head to toe in a fine mist of poison ivy (you know, just asking for a friend) — we’re all ears!

If you’d prefer to get us a physical gift, we are registered at Amazon and Etsy:
