We are officially starting to get settled here in Columbus. After about 18 months of renting, we finally bought our own house! We bought a "character" home in an area of Columbus called Upper Arlington. It need a few touch-ups before we could move in. We are so happy with the end result! Here are some before, during, and after pictures of our remodel!

It's such a rewarding experience to be able to remodel a new home just the way you like it, and you did a phenomenal job! Finding original, usable hardwood floor in older homes is such a treasure these days. Also, the contrast between the light gray walls and white cabinets against that dark hardwood gives the home an updated, modern feel.
