The New House Tour

Although it's our new house, it's much older than the 1925 house we lived in before.
(See before/after photos here, here, and here)

This one was built in 1790... or maybe 1760, according to some documents.
We're in the process of tracking that down!

While it is definitely a work-in-progress, here are some photos of our new home.
Some I've taken as we've worked on projects, others were before we moved in...
I wanted one place that I could get a room-by-room of the work we've been doing- keeping us on track!

I'll try to updated as we complete more work :o)
