When the main level of your home is an entire story above the backyard, a big deck is big deal! It is your savior from having to hike down a flight of stairs to enjoy the great outdoors. Said like a true lazy American 🙂 . It also makes a great kid play pen since… Continue reading Creekside Custom Deck Reveal

It only took 7 months, but here is the kitchen and dining room reveal!
Throwback Thursday!
Since it's Thursday, and cruising by our last house on my way home this morning made me miss our cute old abode, I thought I would take you down memory lane with some before and after pictures of our Running Deer Trail project.

Study 2.0
I know, I know... You're thinking: "REALLY, didn't you JUST show us your study?! Where is the KITCHEN, THE LIVING ROOM, THE BEDROOMS?! Show us something JUICY!!" I get it.

Having subcontractors do most of your work for you makes home building go REALLY fast.… Continue reading Creekside Custom: Study, Guest Bedroom, Guest Bathroom
Exterior updates!
Our house is finally to the point where it looks like a house you could live in! Our roof, or roofs I should say, were installed a few weeks ago, and our painters have just about wrapped up the exterior work. The only thing left on the exterior painting agenda is to coat all of… Continue reading Exterior updates!
The end of a chapter and the long awaited before and after photos of Project Ugly House!
Sadly, this is probably the last post I will ever make for our "Ugly House" as we officially closed on the sale last Thursday. We poured our hearts and souls into this house for almost 3 years, and are finally done making improvements to it. With construction moving rapidly at our Creekside home, we felt it was the… Continue reading The end of a chapter and the long awaited before and after photos of Project Ugly House!
