i wont go too much into how much this kitchen sucked and how awesome it is now, since this is probably the most posted/blogged about room in our house....you can read lots of info about it's transformation over the years right here and over here on design sponge. Believe me when i say that this before picture is actually quite nice compared to what it used to look like when we first moved in...when it was a hell hole.

here's some pretty scary photos of what our yard looked like when we first saw this house...and the afters. over the next few weeks i'm hoping to post some of the original photos from the open house (you'll see how visionary we really were ;-) and where that space is no. in those early days just cleaning a bit  was a vast improvement. stay tuned!

yard with bluestone patio, custom shed, flowering cherry tree, gorgeous plants & shrubs
 and new stained fence : after

horrifying back of the house : before

fresh and clean back of the house : after
