| Our Home |
|
In July 2002, we purchased a new home. The decision to change houses came relatively quickly -- we had actively pursued a major addition to our previous home for most of a year. However, in the end, we decided moving made more sense, and we found this home quickly and liked it.
We really liked the lot the home was on, and the layout and features of the house itself. All the major elements were in good shape. But you might say that we liked the "potential" of the yard and home better than the actual condition. When we took over the house, much of the foliage in the yard was overgrown, and much of the interior decorating of the house, to put it politely, didn't match our tastes. We have been working on many repairs and improvements, inside and out, ever since we took over the house, and have been documenting some of the changes we've made in the past few years, and most certainly will continue to make in the coming years.

The Pond and GeeseYet another view (can you tell we enjoy the pond?) Geese, ducks, and other critters have been frequent visitors. We've had baby geese and their parents come and go. All the wildlife has been fun and fascinating to watch.

Front ViewHere is the front of our home as it looked when we bought it. We've made quite a few changes: replacing the front entry and storm doors (the old one was Barbie Pink -- no kidding! If you click on the image to view the large one and zoom in, you can kind of tell), trimming back the overgrown foliage, removing the awnings, and adding green decorative shutters on all four windows. We also replaced the driveway, and widened it to the width of the rock in the picture above.

Previous Owner's KitchenHere is the way the kitchen looked before we redecorated it. It had pink as the main color and almond on the cabinets. This picture was taken by the previous owner.

Side ViewHere is a view from the side of our home. The pond is shown here, and is actually "L" shaped, framing one corner and most of one edge of our yard. The pond has been a wonderful natural element-- ducks, geese, a large turtle, and many other animals have been frequent visitors, and have been fascinating to watch.
