We bought our home in the summer of 2009 when we fell in love with its charm. Ever since then we've been making slow but steady progress to update it and remove the hunting lodge vibe (which my husband was okay with, anyone surprised?). Working on the house is a big job and we're taking it a bit at a time... here's how it looks right this very moment:
Front yard:
Living Room:

We removed some cabinets, opened up the entrance, and did plenty of other stuff... but it's finally done.
Basement Stairs:
Upstairs Bathroom:
Master Bedroom:
Boys' Room:
