Disclaimer: memories and bragging to follow
Scott and I have been reminiscing about the days of owning our own home. We thought some of you might like to see our home in Logan. We are pretty proud of it, after putting in hours and hours and hours of back breaking hard work, paint, and floors, etc. When we got married, we were lucky enough to buy a house. Not just any house, a house built in 1916, and then remodeled in 1980... and with our hard work and the help of lots of family and friends, we remodeled it again in 2003-2005. It was the funnest, hardest, longest project we've ever attempted, yet we can't wait to do it again! When we were first married, we lived in the basement and rented out the upstairs. The basement was the smallest apt. ever, those of you who saw it, will agree. We had a kitchen/living room/entry (all about the size of a small bedroom), bathroom, and bedroom. Just to give you an idea of how small this place was, we could BARELY fit our queen size bed in the bedroom. And the closet was about the size of a small coat closet.
When we finally moved upstairs (that was the greatest day, we couldn't wait to have 3 bedrooms and a big kitchen!!!), we fit ALL of our belongings into one of the upstairs bedrooms. Don't get us wrong, we absolutely love living in student housing right now, it is the perfect place for our family at the moment. But we truly cherish the days of our little home, because it was literally OUR home, we used our own hands and made it our haven.
FYI - these pictures were taken a couple days after Will was born, we had to get our house on the market because we were headed to MN a couple months later!!!

The loft... this was our guest room, but probably would have been a play room/nursery
The bathroom... you've got to have a bathroom shot, right? My favorite part was our floors, which Scott did all by himself!!

It was fun to see these pictures! You house was beautiful! Bry and I have some great memorie with you guys here. I am sad to report though the next owner did NOT keep up on the beautiful yard Scott always kept up on. Every time we drove past your house, bryan would always comment on the lawn. :)

I am so impressed you guys! I had heard but never got to actually see it!
Very impressive! I can't wait until we have our own walls...ah, the paint colors I can only imagine right now.
Cute video of the air matress by the way. There's a lot to catch up on here!
Your house looked beautiful! I understand about missing a home. We we lucky to own a home in Bountiful before we moved here and even though we were only about half way through remodeling, it was so nice to have a place that we could make our own. Oh well, it will be fun to do again when we're all done with school!
Those pictures bring back some great memories. You really did a great job with that house.
I think that my sister was going to buy this house! She loved it! It really is so nice.
I think I left a few swear words in that house when I was painting too. Is that okay to say Scott?
What a beautiful house!! We only ever saw the little downstairs apartment, but even that was cute. You guys did a great job, it must've been bittersweet to leave it. I LOVE the colors you used... you don't happen to remember what color that was in the main room, do you??
