You Have To Break A Few Eggs...

...if you're going to remodel.  My dear friend Susan and her uber-talented husband Joe have been thinking about this for a long time.  This is why.

So many memories in this living room - Christmas trees and Easter baskets, dogs and kids in feet-y pajamas sliding along the hardwood floor.  Christmas Eve parties with a cast of thousands (well, I bet it feels that way to Susan when she's cooking) and fascinating people perched everywhere, talking up a storm.  Yummy smells coming from the kitchen... 

But with all the kids successfully launched, it's time.  It's a well-built house in a great neighborhood, and it holds a lifetime of memories.  The plans are exciting; keeping the charm and making changes that make sense for the way they live now.

Stay tuned for the part when the demo stops and the new house begins to take shape.
