A Pinterest Christmas

One of the things we love about this time of year is decorating the house.  There’s nothing like that sense of accomplishment you feel after everything is all set.  You’ve finished putting up the tree. The mantle is decorated. The gifts are wrapped.  All that’s left to do is throw on some Christmas music and sit back with a glass of wine (or egg nog if you prefer) to admire the prettiness that comes along with the season…

The Demolition [Video]

With the holidays around the corner we’ve been super busy, but the demolition video is finally edited and ready to go!

The Waiting Game

It’s been about a month since our last post which we know is a VERY looong time!  You must be wondering what Team Dreamhouse has been up to.

In all honesty…nothing.  Well, okay we put up a construction fence.  But, otherwise – a whole lot of nothing.  We sourced some window quotes & lined up a whole slew of trades, but for the most part, we’ve just been playing the waiting game with the city for our building permit.
