Welcome

Welcome to The Big House!

For over two years, my husband and I looked at 12 different older homes. On the thirteenth try, we finally found our gem. It had almost everything we wanted. Four bedrooms, two baths, living room AND family room. Hey, this place is 2600 square feet of space! With four children, space is what we needed.

Most of my life, I have always wanted an older home. An older home with character. Most of the previous houses had woodwork stripped out of it or updated to the point where the original character was missing. We got unbelievably lucky on this house. The previous owners had left all of the woodwork and had done some major house repairs (roof, furnace, ac, siding, and half of the windows). All this at the best price we had seen.

We were all too eager to snap this up. Now, all that is left is to put our stamp on it. This blog will chronicle all of our efforts in giving our gem a new lease on life.

Happy reading!
