It is the weekend of our 4 year Anniversary living in our house. I can't believe it's been 4 years already! Even though our house is still very much a work in progress, the changes have only made this house better.Today's post is before and after pictures of what we have accomplished over the 4 years. How quickly I forgot how UGLY the interior of my house once was. Looking back at the pictures now, I am beginning to think I was nuts taking on this project house. I now realize that the definitions of home remodeling between men and women are vastly different. Most women think home renovation means "New flooring, New Counters, New Cabnits and Paint." Most of what women think of home renovation is usually hired out. Men who are handymen think home renovation means "Knock holes in walls, move walls, new plumbing, new electrical... etc." Let's just say living in this house.... their has never been a dull moment in the 4 years we have been here. We are always working on a project. We are hoping the housing market will pick up so we can possibly sell our house next summer and move back to the slc area.
