Our Home..."The House That Built Me"

Before:

After:

This is an idea of Before and After. The "before" picture is what is still on GIS {so I got the picture from there}..they have yet to update the picture {imagine that}. And the "after" picture is of our house last winter. So you will NOT get the satisfaction {or I won't} of seeing {or me showing off} my beautiful flowers and landscaping in the Summertime. All of my potters are put up and off of the porch, my roses aren't bloomed, my day lilies are DEAD, ETC..ETC..ETC....BUT it STILL looks ten times better than it did "before". This house sat for over 10 years unoccupied. Bill had always wanted to renovate this home. This house is "part" of the Stroupe Estates. When Bill's Grandfather passed, all of the land was divided between siblings and they all agreed to let Bill purchase this house and the 1.5 acres or so surrounding it. We just recently purchased I believe a little over 4 acres from his Aunt that she had inherited. That land is right beside our plot and one day we plan to build on it & give our house to Chloee. Enjoy.

**I wanted to note that if you look closely to the old picture..on the front porch you can see a door to the right. There was also a door on the left {you can't see in the picture shot} SO, that meant there were HOW MANY DOORS ON THE FRONT PORCH??? 3 DOORS ALL ON THE FRONT PORCH!! Oh my...NOW there is only ONE. We fixed that REAL quick. Along with everything else. I sure wish we had before pictures of the inside. You would be AMAZED.
