Our New Front Door
It all began with one ugly front door....
New Front Door
Our New Front Door
Old Front Door
It all began with one ugly front door....
In the beginning...
It all started four years ago with a front door….we wanted (and then needed!) a new one. But if we get a new front door, we should get new front windows as well…and the rear windows need to be replaced …and we’ve always intended to remodel the third floor…and the boiler’s dead, we might as well get that ripped out of there... Like pulling a thread in a sweater, our desire for a new front door has turned into just about a whole house renovation.
The Cast of Characters:
Marisa - Real women parallel park. This cul-de-sac kid quickly shed the hum drum of the suburbs for city chic. Onboard for some major renovation without the wrecking ball hitting the bank account. AKA-the Financier.
Steve - All things city. Grew up a country kid, but found "where it's at" was in the city. The glue behind the project, keeping everyone sane while blending 1900 historic with 21st century green. AKA-the Dreamer
Ferris - the dog. Mutt. As long as there is food in the bowl and walks in the park, up for anything. Will miss eating the lead paint.
Shenzi - cat 1. Cannot be bothered by this disruption in her lifestyle. Although prissy, can handle some dust and dirt.
Sambuca - cat 2. Doesn't deal well with change. Big, black, and bold, but a baby when it comes to destruction and dust.

We went through a month remodel of our kitchen when we lived in Ill. The only good part was i didn't have to cook for a month--well almost. We had a stove in the basement which I was forced to use on occasion. I can appreciate your cartoon!!
Yeah, I couldn't believe how perfect that cartoon was!
We lived through a kitchen rehab as well several years ago....definitely not good for the waistline!
Thanks for your sympathy...just 4-5 weeks to go...
