The Devondale House

The Devondale House was our first complete remodel.  I'm not sure what made us think.. hey, let's buy a 1960's house that needs to be completely redone, since we had never done that before.  I'm really glad we did though.  We learned so much from this house and had a lot of fun doing it.  Brandon saw this house before I did and actually made an offer on it before I even got a chance to see it.  He said he knew I would love it.  He got lucky.  We both fell in love with the charm of a mid-century home that basically hadn't been touched since the 60's.  The original kitchen had a 1962 Tappan oven with a pull-out stove top.  I had never seen anything like it.  The house was 2200 square feet in a well established and loved neighborhood. It was very dark and outdated, but we saw the charm and potential the moment we stepped in.  Here are the before and after pictures.
