Phase 1: Destroy!

I remember that first night in our brand new home - eating pizza on the floor and watching Singin' In The Rain on air mattresses. It is one of my favorite moments with Mr. Fiance! But since then - the only thing we have done to our sweet house is tear out every single thing in sight! I thought it was time to dedicate a blog to DEMOLITION!

Our house was COVERED in floral wallpaper:


(TV Room)

(Master Bedroom) 
(Gotta LOVE that matching bedding!)

(Formal Dining Room)

After two weeks of acting like a crazy couple (and with the help of some amazing family), we tore it all out!

(Master Bedroom)

(Formal Dining Room! I'm obsessed with our new chandelier!)

  (Hello, Handsome!)

(And...Its partner in crime)

But the real demolition began when our General Contractor started our renovation. 

Kitchen Before:

DEMO!






Master Bathroom Before:

DEMO!



We have already racked up a ton of before and after pictures (too many to share in one blog!), and we are excited to share them with you as we complete the projects!

I can't wait for that moment when it comes together - I may just park a bus on my street and yell "MOVE THAT BUS!" (like that one TV show!) to reveal the final product...Robert, add bus driver to your resume!

Here Comes The Bride…

This past weekend, Rob and I spent an amazing three days at Yosemite doing last minute wedding planning.  It’s so crazy to think that five years ago we met at law school and are now finalizing wedding details.  Little did I know that the guy sitting next to me in Contracts would be my husband.

Yosemite couldn’t have offered a more perfect weekend to get away from the hustle and bustle of work and of our home renovation. 




The next time we visit this adorable red church, we will be saying "I Do!"

Girlfriends – bring the tissues! Robert you promised me one tear! I better see it!
