The Project

When we began looking for a house, Josh and I seemed to agree on one thing. We wanted a PROJECT. Not a little project but a "whole house needs to be gutted" type of project. We knew from our last house that we are project people and that we would not be happy with renovations done by another owner. Why waste the money for an already renovated home, when we would want to tear it out in a year?  So after about two weeks of searching, we decided that we had found the house. It had everything we wanted: 
  • Large Lot - Our Santa Rosa Beach lot was the size of a postage stamp
  • Trees - Our SRB lot also lacked trees
  • Good School System
  • Quiet Street
  • A Project: The house had not been updated since it was built in 1958
After a few times back and forth with the owners, the house was under contract. We closed on the house in September and I snapped these pictures to document the before.
