To Top it Off

The house we used to live in was a tiny two bedroom, one bath (and seasonally a half bath).  It was probably too small for 4 people but we made it work.  We were packed in tight, but it was home and I loved it.

I was excited to begin our remodel of the interior.  I had been planning it for years.  We knew that we were going to need a new roof in the not-too-distant future. However, I wasn’t expecting our ceiling to start leaking while we were mid-project.  I was literally standing in my kitchen talking to someone who was doing some work for us and I looked over and there was water dripping off of an electrical wire. Seriously, I was a little freaked out, but the man I was talking to didn’t seem overly phased.  So, I don’t know how dangerous the situation may have been.

So we had to get a new roof before any finishing projects could be completed.  We didn’t need water damage to anything new.  So we called a roofing company to come put on a new roof ASAP.  So that was a little stressful.  

We ended up choosing a beautiful antique bronze metal roof.  It looked so classy on our creamy tan brick house.  We traded out our green front door for a wood look steel door.  It totally changed our house.  We went from 70’s yikes to Classic Modern.  I absolutely loved it!  

We saved up and 2 years later we added a wood look garage door.  It was fabulous.  Unfortunately, we didn’t get much of a chance to enjoy it.  Our house burned down a month later.  But it looked amazing for that month!

We were going to replace our last green door in the spring, but the fire took it first.

(I so wish I had better pictures to share, but you don’t always think about those things until it is too late.  Learn from me, take lots of pictures and save them multiple places.)
