Home Sweet Home, Part X

After four months in our house, the parade of workers and deliveries has slowed, and I think we've figured out how (almost) everything works. Most of all: it's HOME. I feel like we accomplished what we set out to do when we bought a home that needed significant renovations: we created a home that is beautiful, light-filled, warm, welcoming, comfortable, fun, and feels like us.

And yet.

Wasn't there an ad campaign at some point that promised: "You. Only better."? The architect, contractor and designer who worked on our house wanted images of the complete project. They hired a professional photographer, and came to our house one sunny morning with all kinds of photography equipment as well accessories to assist in staging the photos. I was out all day, save for a pit-stop at home midday. Although I had expected that they would stage photos, I was still surprised by how much things were moved around! But at the end of the day, all was back in place, plus I had a few ideas to switch things up. Not to mention some fancy pictures!

We're thrilled with the real, un-staged, un-photoshopped house, and of course it will be part of future photographs here. We also look forward to enjoying our home with our family and friends. 

Meanwhile, here are some photos of our house. Only better.
