Two years (probably more?) of consideration

Welcome to our remodel blog!  I thought this would be a fun way to chart our progress, show before-and-after photos, and maintain a history of the process.  

It's easy to feel like the beginning of our remodel will be the day that the first shovel goes into the ground... but of course, the reality is that we've been talking about this remodel for a couple of years.  We've always known the kids would need their own rooms at some point, being of different genders.  Among the things we considered:

• Turning the downstairs family room into a master (this was the plan when we bought the house; turns out there's not really enough room once we factor in the doors to the backyard and the garage)
• Moving out of SF to a suburb (the commute kills this idea every time)
• Buying a different house in SF (housing prices and property taxes eliminated this one)

So here we are, on the brink of tearing up our home.  Hopefully it will all be worth it in the end!
