Home. =)

Sean and I like to do.  We like to create, renew, build, paint, fix up.  When we found our first home in 2010 we were so excited!  It was definitely a fixer-upper, but that was the best part.  We like to make things our own.  The house, it needed help.  The windows were old, single paned, the walls in the front room were bright red.  The carpet in the living room space were purple, disgusting, and the sliding glass door was falling out of the frame.  The house was built in the 1950's so, naturally, it was "old," but it definitely had it's charm.  We fell in love with the quarter acre lot, the beautiful deck, the hard wood floors throughout the original space.  It was home.  It was ours.

Over the past four years, we've given it a little TLC.  We repainted the entire house when we moved in, sleeping on the floor in the livingroom for the first couple of months.  We replaced the ugly purple carpet with hard wood flooring, and put in a new sliding glass door.  The house began to breathe life. It was becoming what we had envisioned.  Slowly, we've saved money and taken out a project here and there.

Here are some of our favorite transformations:
