House: Before and After


Here are some pictures of our first home. When Daniel first brought me here, I was really skeptical. He and Crawford kept repeating, "You just need to have a vision." I did and thankfully it came to life! This house was built in 1977, and had not been touched up renovated since. The blue carpet was... dirty (along with the rest of the house). It's amazing what paint, flooring and new appliances can do. It was (still is) a process, but we're getting there! We haven't hung all of the pictures. I haven't even ordered wedding pictures- how far behind am I? As of tomorrow, we'll have too many baby pictures to fit in our house. I'm ok with that! The backyard is huge, and I feel so safe. We're close to everything. Ok, enough rambling... here's a look at the before and after of our quaint little house. We absolutely love it. I am so proud of Daniel for being responsible and getting everything done!

Thanks so much for looking at our home! We are grateful to get it all finished before Harper gets here tomorrow. Everything is clean and ready to go! To God be the glory, great things He hath done. The house is more than we could've asked or imagined... and only 3 miles from Daniel's work.
