Before- (These pictures include the last owners belongings!!)
After-
Even this picture is a little old. Since it was taken we have replaced the garage door (not shown) with a lighter one with windows in it and the plants are all much larger and more mature. Looks much better...
I'm sure this goes without saying but I have re-arranged the living room several times since this photo.
The kitchen is only slightly different with the addition of an espresso maker.
I am not happy enough with the guest room, office and master bedroom to include them in the after photos but maybe after these last few jobs are complete I will be.
Jobs that still NEED to be done in the house…
