Before & After the Fire!

11 years ago

After a wildfire destroyed our home of 21 years, it took everything we had to find the strength to rebuild. While the journey was long (1377 days), we couldn't be happier with the new home based on the original home's design. See my idea book post for complete 'after' photo book.

@Iiz, I cannot even imagine how that felt, very sorry to hear that. 21 yrs is a longtime and a lot of memories. Good to know that you are here to talk about it. I am very glad to see that you are happy with your new home and the great thing is the memories are always in our heart and mind. I wish you a happy new year and many, many more to come in the beautiful home you have built and new great memories there with your family/friends. It is a gorgeous new home. Good luck! :) You truly are an inspiration. :)
