My husband and I bought this house eight years ago, at the tail end of the housing boom. I was in my first trimester of pregnancy and not at all interested in dealing with the rigmarole of moving, massive amounts of paperwork and redecorating. When we found this house we loved the floor plan, location and mature trees in the backyard. What we didn’t love was the horrible paint colors, ancient windows and original kitchen but we saw the potential and knew from the start exactly what we wanted to do…
