Figs and Flights {at home} is back! Start here if you want to see more of our 1948 home in Seattle and how we've renovated and decorated over years. ​

We're moving Back to Hawaii and our house is officially on the market.

When we renovated the kitchen back in December we found a time capsule hidden behind the cabinets. That deserves a post and/or video all of it's own! Regardless we didn't seal up the crown molding in the kitchen until the day these photos were taken. I finally added my own time capsule, as well as the previous one, back into the house at the very last minute.

Enjoy a few progress pictures and those of our finished kitchen. The whole house has been professionally staged, I'd never ever have counters this clean HA!

Figs and Flights {at home} is back!

We toured most of "the house with the fig tree" back in the early months of quarantine and now we're back with an exciting new project.

We're moving back to Hawaii!

We're CRAZY! We know.

We don't know when we'll make the move so in the meantime we're doing a HUGE project to increase the resale value (aka MO' MONAY) of our house.

We are remodeling the kitchen. ​To see what the kitchen looks like currently check out the photos here or watch the video there.

Let's talk about figs. Clearly I love the adorable and delicious fruits and have named this very blog after them. My Pap (Grandfather) had a fig tree in his yard in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania when I was growing up. I would beg and plead with him to please, puh-lease give me some figs! He'd laugh and remind me that they weren't ripe until "it was time to go back to school" in the fall.

Now I have my own yard and fig tree, although on the opposite side of the country in Seattle, Washington. In PA you're supposed to dig up the entire tree and bury it underground for the winter. Lucky for me, we don't have to do that here since temperatures rarely drop below freezing.

That all being said, the important consistency with fig trees on both sides of this country is that they give us figs to eat, right? Makes sense to me...

According to the internet and social media, where everything you see is true, Fiddle Leaf Fig trees are all the rage. Every sparkling clean and all white Instagram living room is dotted only with this green leafy tree. The photo below is a perfect example of this trend from Apartment Therapy.
