Before and After.... the house has a Roberts flair

When we took possession of the house on July 1 it was a clean slate to put our own touches on. Here's a view of the family room when we arrived.

Now with laminate floor throughout the downstairs common areas and some bold color on the walls, this house is our home! Of course, the Plasma TV on the wall was a huge improvement.


The laminate floor adds an incredible warmth to the whole feel of the place and it feels a lot bigger too! Look at this kitchen transformation!


With the interior now complete we can turn our attention to the yard. First order of business will be mowing and adjusting our sprinklers. This summer heat wave has been brutal on the front lawn.

Today's peak temp was somewhere in the 105-106 degree range. That's down from the 110-112 that we experienced for most of the past week. A trip down to San Mateo and So. SF on Sunday was a welcome break from the heat.
