In September 2019, Ben and I closed on our first house!
It’s a folk victorian, built in the 1880s. We LOVE it. But….
It needed a LOT of work.
Nothing had been touched since sometime in the mid-90s (aka, when we were BORN). I’m not really sure whether it was cleaned since then, either…I got head to toe hives just walking on the carpets. Gross.
(Also peep my sister’s dog Petey. He was the goodest helping boy.)
Luckily we have the best family and friends. There were a lot of late nights and sore muscles before we could move in, but the transformation began to unfold…
