Our Home: Before and After

Yesterday, the man and I woke rather early and watched for several hours as all of our possessions were loaded onto a moving truck to head across town to our new home.

The last view I had of our old house- freshly painted, shiny, and perfect- was a striking contrast to where we moved in… A gutted first floor, scuffed walls, and a few very dated bathrooms awaited us. I realized, though, that our old home wasn’t so perfect, either, when we moved in, and thought you may want to see where she came from. Full disclosure, I may also need to be reminded of where she came from- it feels like the road ahead of us here will be a long one.

Since my photographer didn’t take the photos for the listing agent when we bought our house 7 years ago, the angles aren’t totally the same, but they’re pretty darn close.

    Amazing transformation! I cannot wait to see your new Home all transformed!

Maybe it’s due to an overactive mind, a desire to feel like I’m influencing someone, or perhaps, it’s simply that I need to talk.

Back home after a week and a half in Paradise/Palm Back home after a week and a half in Paradise/Palm Springs… walked off the airplane to some Fall weather, these hydrangeas showing off, and the promise that we’ll have curtains in here by year end.

Ok…. That last part may have been a promise to myself, but still.
