We fell in love with 1214
Hillcrest September 2008 and put an offer in November 2008 and over a year ago 1214
Hillcrest was ours!
Since moving to Normal IL, March 2005, we have longed for trees, a big back yard and to be in walking distance to town, sort of what life was like in Michigan, our home state.
For over a year we planned and planned for a remodel and addition and with 7 different plans in place over a years span we have decided to do it in stages. One huge reason being we still have not sold our other home. 2009 was a year of ups and downs with 1214
Hillcrest. We were about to sell it a dozen times but then always going back to visit, praying and knowing selling it was not the right thing to do. So with that Jan 2010 was the start of our house remodel. Lets start out with some before pictures, the home we have tons of visions, dreams and to finally feel a sense of HOME here in Normal IL.
Kitchen Before Pictures: We are taking the wall down between the kitchen and dinning room to open up this space. In the past our plans were to add the a big open kitchen that opens into a new family room onto the back of the house. But since we have had a change of plans we are now working within our house footprint and gutting and redoing the kitchen. Our vision is a clean white classic kitchen with bead board or coiffured ceilings and crown molding that extends into the dining area.
