New Baby New House


A lot of wonderful things are happening to me these days. A blessing baby is on his way and with it the need for a bigger house. So we just purchased a house with this incredible view of New York City in New Jersey. This view is in every floor of the house. This may be the only perfect thing about the house since there are many things to be updated. Walls will come down, kitchen will be completely redone, floors will be refinished. I decided to make it fun and I'll be posting every milestone.


Here I decided to take down half of the wall so we can appreciate the beautiful view from the kitchen, while leaving some countertop space. The wall behind also will come down.


Here, all cabinets and appliances have been teared down.

Hello! I just found your blog & I love it! I just started one myself (hope you check in) :) I feel your joy, pain, & excitement! I recently bought a new home, had a new baby, & remodeled the entire house from floor to ceiling! My good thoughts are with you, but when things get tough, take to heart you are making a house a home for you & your new little angel! Good luck, I'm so excited to check in often!
