Patch Blog: Home Improvement Chronicles--The After Photos

Milla Goldenberg reveals the after photos following the full exterior remodel of her 1920s bungalow.

Phase 1 of Operation: Home Remodel is officially complete! And it only took 113 days, countless dollars, much hand-wringing and anxiety, several sleepless nights, a handful of arguments with my contractor and architect and buckets of tears to get here. The result is one very beautiful house on a hill in Highland Park, a house I am proud to call mine. And just like everyone said, it was worth it in the end.

Unfortunately, I'm nowhere near the end of this remodel, as Phase 2 (building the deck) is set to start early next year once permitting issues are sorted out. There are already myriad delays, setbacks and complaints surrounding this, which I'll get into in a future post. For now, though, I present to you the beautiful fruit of my labor.
