Norcross Now

It felt like it might never happen, but we finally moved into Norcross. On August 29, 2015 there was still a long list of things that needed to be done to the house, but we couldn't wait any longer. The date was pushed back five (five!) times.

We shared some before photos of the house way back in June 2014. Then, we shared the plans in February 2015. Now, finally, here are the after renovation shots. We like old stuff and tried to keep the spirit of the original house wherever possible. 

Front of house - porch and sidewalk added, new windows and paint, lots of landscaping to be done!

View of street from front porch - Restoration Hardware light fixture scored on Craigslist

View immediately upon entering house - notice view straight through to backyard

Original living room - floors refinished, new paint and trim, fireplace surround to be redone in the future
