Why Kensington...?

Hey all!  A lot has been accomplished at the house and it is super fun seeing the transformation!  Don't get me wrong, there is A LOT more to do but for it only being two weeks (and the holidays and snow slowing things for a bit), I see a lot of change and I am loving it!

FUN FACT:  You may wonder why I am calling this Kensington Lane...?

The neighborhood our home is in is fairly old.  Our house was originally built in 1942.  After closing on the house, we learned that each home in the neighborhood is named after the original owner of the home!  So our home was built and owned by the Kensington family in 1942 and now our home is called The Kensington home!  I love it!

Here are a couple pictures!

One thing that had to be fixed were the stairs.  The left is the before picture.  I'm horrible at pictures and thus the picture doe not do it justice of how horrible they were.  Each step was about 4" deep so I was able to get about half my foot on each step (and I have VERY small feet).  The after picture now shows the stairs are normal!  Thank goodness!  No more hobbit stairs and now it will be safe for kids to go up and down one day as well.

Next step was to get the walls down.  Old homes have small rooms, we wanted an open concept to make the place a little larger (or I guess just look larger).  

Well, we're on our way!!

More updates coming soon.
