It's not about the destination...

... it's about the journey.  So goes the famous saying.  Before we could start changes on a house we needed to get a house.  The house we ended up buying was definitely livable, but no where near what a midcentury modern home should look like (for those of you not familiar with this design type check out the links we have provided).  What we did get was a blank canvas, which has actually been a blessing in design.  Instead of spending the money for what somebody else would want, we can choose what our house becomes.  Below are pictures of the house.

The home pretty much as we bought it.  This photo was taken around Halloween, hence the webbing on the door:
We decided to get rid of the tree and grass.  Our reasoning is not that we hate plants, rather we plan on having desert landscaping, and the placement of the tree (touching the house) wasn't really working for us.
