Before And After

Thrifty Decor Chick is having a ......




The most dramatic before and after would be our house. Here it is when we moved in, way back in 1984. Hubby and I were thrilled to have a home and a farm, no more apartment dwelling.

Here it is after, the picture is from 2008, but the flowers are so much prettier than this year, I am using this picture. We haven't changed anything since then.



We added the addition to the left about 18 years ago, we needed bedrooms for our growing family. Then the porch, dormer and great room(you can see this at the back of the porch, right side) were added 8 years ago.
