It’s maybe one of the biggest decisions for a home renovation: what direction to take the exterior when making major changes. The exterior of a home certainly sets the tone and dictates the overall feel and direction. We had a lot of factors to consider when narrowing down where we wanted to take the house. […]

We’re still up to our necks in boxes over here at our rental home after moving this weekend. Everyone is tired of eating out and we can’t find anything. Moving (sigh), amiright??
