February 2014 - Moving Across Town

(Written by Caitlyn)
Five years to the week that Jeff and I started dating, we closed on our new house.  This blog post is to document the renovations that we do to transform this new space into our home.

Right now, all we have are "before" pictures; "after" pictures will be added when available.  As well, when the snow melts, we will get better pictures of the outside areas.
