Our New House!

We bought a house! We closed escrow on Friday and it will take about 2 weeks for the initial work to be finished. We're basically restoring the original floor plan by getting rid of all the terrible decisions the previous owners made that destroyed the integrity of this beautiful historic home (random walls, raised floors, etc.). Once the work is done, then we can move in!

Here's a picture of the outside...

Here's the view down the street...

The absolute best thing about the house is the location. It's about 2 blocks from the Capitol, 1 block from my office, 2 blocks from the Metro, and has views of the Washington Monument out the front window. I am so excited!! I took tons of "before" pictures so that we can see the difference when it's completely finished, so I'll be sure to keep you all posted!
