I'm certain in the beginning the only people who will read this are those near and dear. But in the event that this thing goes "viral" here's our back-story.
Jeff and I were married in 2008, moved from Chicago to LA in 2009 and find ourselves homeowners today...June 13th, 2011. I think we are off to an amazing start, though the baby question is always looming.
So here we find ourselves. Homeowners and eager to tear this place apart. Which is what we did the minute our awesome realtor handed us the keys. Pictures certainly mean more than words when it comes to demo and progress...so here we go.

These are some of the awesome built-in traditions of the Craftsman style home.
Our dining room flowing right into a hallway that joins the bedrooms and bathroom in the rear of the house. There is a circular layout into the kitchen...we think this house will be great for entertaining.
Vintage...character...orange. These were a few words that came to mind when we saw the kitchen for the first time. YIKES!
The previous owner made some "choice" decisions...all of which we thoroughly DISAGREE with! Hello sledgehammer, goodbye faux wood paneling.
More built-in cabinets...quaint bathroom that needs some major TLC!
Jeff walked in a said, "I could tap these walls and Hubbell-character would come streaming out." I love him for seeing all the beauty.
Carpet. Need I say more. Okay...wood paneling. Two more words and one is left speechless.
The mudroom. We hope to eventually knock the walls from the kitchen into this portion of the house and make one big awesome kitchen. Ahhhhh the dreams of potential.
Roses, a lemon tree and our very own backyard.
