Our new House

In May we moved to a new house. We are hoping that this will be our home for many years. The house was built in 1960 and needs some improvements (it's a "fixer-upper"). But it is in a great location and has lots of potential. We are going to tackle the improvements in phases. Will and I sometimes joke that we have 516 phases and counting...Phase 1 consisted of tearing out the wood paneling, putting in new insulation and drywall, texture, paint, build a fireplace mantle and add the stone tiles, refinish the wood floors and add new lighting. Will has become quite the handyman over the years and with a little help from some friends, the girls, and professionals we are finished with phase 1! (The pictures show phase 1 before and after.)

We are living in a 700 square foot guest apartment that is attached to the house until things are finished. We have the kitchen, office, and playroom set up in the main house so we only sleep and get ready in the apartment. It sounds crazy but we are having fun with it and making lots of memories!
