yet more light
Been a while since either of us have posted here - that's because we haven't done too much with the house lately. However, spring is in the air and that means we'll be busy busy busy, so get back in the habit of checking in here to see what we do next.


My first (even remotely) significant home improvement of '09 came just yesterday. We had gone to Ikea last weekend to do a run-through after an extended absence and, amongst a whole bunch of other things, I noticed the cabinet-mount lights that work perfectly for our kitchen counter!

About Us


Christopher Scott and Jodi Vautrin are the husband and wife team behind Ourhaus, where they chronicle their adventures in home improvement, decorating and travel. After purchasing a unique loft space just a few miles north of Boston, they began photographing and writing about their projects and it blossomed into a creative outlet and platform.

When they’re not home improving, Jodi spends her days as a freelance creative director & designer with a focus on user interface and interactive design, and is an entrepreneur at heart. She serves on the board of AIGA Boston as Vice President of Emerging Ideas & Events.

In his professional life, Christopher is the Technology Director for a multi-service ad agency based in Harvard Square. In his private life, he enjoys tinkering in all its forms, whether it's rebuilding the Ourhaus home network (again), fooling himself into thinking he knows how to fix home appliances, or trying to unravel the mysteries of the guitar. He also flies planes, performs open heart surgery and sings at bar mitzvahs (though not all at the same time).

They share their “haus” with their adorable, highly food-motivated chocolate lab, Lucy.
