Before/After Pictures

We've been loving our new house.  It just feels so great to have enough space for everything (and everybody) and to look forward to coming home each night. 

There is still plenty of unpacking (especially in the basement (aka "man world")) to do, and a few finishing touches to be done (like the porch columns and railings) but we thought it was time to post the before/after shots.  It really is incredible how much the house has transformed since we first laid eyes on it.  Because there are so many, I'm posting them on Picasa, instead of the blog.  Click here to see the room-by-room transformation.


Thank you to everyone who followed this blog and offered their support throughout this long and trying process.  I've already heaped praised on Impact Construction, and particularly Dave MacDonald, for their/his superb work.  We would also like to recognize Marge Olson for the many mornings she spent sitting with her cup of coffee and sketch book drafting idea after idea for this project.  She really helped us figure out what we wanted (and didn't want) and her sketches saved the project when the architect's plans didn't work out.  THANK YOU MARGE!


Now that the house is finished, we've decided we just have too much time on our hands.  So, on or about March 23rd, we'll have a new baby boy to occupy our time, and fill the new third bedroom.  You know what they say about idle hands!
