Before and After Part I

Many of you have seen our renovation journey since May. Some parts were extremely fun and other parts were frustrating and difficult. I am not the best decision maker but I had to become one...fast. We have been in about a month and still have plenty of things to do, but wanted to share some before and after pictures of our new house
