New home- inspection day- "Before"

July 26, 2002

It is so fun seeing these pictures now. Please keep in mind that none of this furniture is ours (these pictures were taken during the property inspection, when Sarah was only 8 days old. We've replaced some things and done some minor renovation projects. So far, we've scraped the ceilings, repainted all the rooms, and have replaced all light fixtures but the one in the stairwell. Johnathon also masterminded having new cable bundles installed in four of the major rooms (coax cable, 2 phone lines and Ethernet- we are WIRED now!). Notice the bright white carpets- not ideal with a newborn and a dog, but it was in really good condition so we're keeping it until we need to replace it. We still have a ways to go (for example, a major patio concrete removal project, relandscaping, and babyproofing), but it's all ours! We LOVE living here!

The stair rail is now painted white. We plan to make the space under the stairs a play area for Sarah.

See that chandelier? It's gone now!

Half-Bath and Laundry room downstairs

The door to the 1/2 bath/Laundry room missed hitting the ceiling light fixture by 1/4", so we had a canned light installed directly over the washer and dryer, and a wall fixture over the bathroom sink. It looks so much better now.

Kitchen (facing patio)

We had the oblong fluorescent fixture replaced with canned lighting throughout. I now have an eyeball light right over the sink (a nice surprise planned by Johnathon), which is perfect for washing dishes or the soothing baby bath.

That's us!

I'd eventually like to train the neighbors to allow me to throw the ball for Half-Pint out front. So far she's re-learned how to take walks on her leash.

There are three HUGE hydrangea plants right in front of our living room windows.
