Finally

About 3 years ago, we embarked on a wild and wacky adventure of buying a 110ish year old house. It’s a beautiful old home with the original woodwork and plenty of bedrooms for our growing (and growing…and growing…) family.

The pros: Charm, nostalgia, beauty! The cons: Home improvement projects are tricky and usually open up a big old can of 100 year worms.

About 8 weeks ago, we embarked on another adventure with a bathroom remodel project. We re-did everything from the big (removing the knob & tube wiring lurking behind the walls) to the small (replacing the tacky marble countertop).

After many weeks of showering at the neighbor’s house and hosing down the kids in the kitchen sink, the job is complete. Now if only we could sit back and enjoy the moment…next step is getting the nursery ready for the baby. At least he’ll have a nice new tub to welcome him home!
