As any homeowner knows, house projects are a never-ending to-do list. However, it can be fun to see how your house transforms over time. We’ve been changing a lot of things in our home in just a little over a year!
outside of our house last fall — we have since gotten new windows (without grids) and are in the process of tearing out the bushes in front for some new landscaping
Step 1: chopping off all the branches
Step 2: digging up the root

crazy wind and snowstorm destroyed our umbrella!

Sawing off dead tree branches (an HOA violation)
my first time at the house meeting Toby — sitting in the room that would later be turned into my music room!

old kitchen faucet — broke because our water pressure valve was broken and the pressure was way too high!
got our plumbing problems resolved and got a fancy new sink with sensors that I love to use while cooking!
old kitchen look — old light, old windows, no drapes
