On August 14th, Trever and I close on a home in Napa, CA. After MUCH indecision on location, property type, etc we finally made the decision to buy a weekend home in Napa. During our 2 years in CA we have spent countless weekends enjoying the wines of Napa and Sonoma, so it seemed fitting that's where we should buy.
As some of you know, the house we are purchasing was built in 1972...and in our opinion has not been updated/renovated since 1972. We have a total gut job ahead of us...new flooring, new kitchen, new siding, scraping that ugly popcorn stuff off the ceiling, new bathrooms, new fixtures, and last, but certainly NOT least...the installation of the pool!! (Trever and I are currently divided on where the pool ranks on the lists of priorities)
While we are both excited about the journey we are about to begin...we realize that we may have some "difficult" days ahead of us during the renovations. To help us laugh through the process (rather than dwell on the money pit we have just purchased) we decided to setup this blog to document the renovation progression. We'll keep it updated with our renovation war stories, before/after pictures, and status of the project (including when the place will be ready for guests!!). We also want your input too. While our tastes are similar, Trever and I are confident that it won't be long before we have a knock down, drag out fight over whether we should go with the tan or the beige paint. We will be posting "option A" and "option B" choices throughout the project that we would love your input on. (I will remember all of you that side with me, and give you priority on use of the house...just something to keep in mind)
Hope you all enjoy the site - and we can't wait to have you visit us in Napa.
Trever & Spence
