This is before we took on our major renovation at 612 Bieze Street. The first picture is our house before, taken around Christmas '08. The next picture was taken from a magazine {I think a Southern Living Plan}. This was the inspiration for our new look. I have had this picture for years in my "favorite pages from magazines" binder. The last 2 pics are interior pics of the front porch. The next post will have phase 2!
