at FULL potential

Here are the images of the Duval house that were taken for the listing. We had a staging company come in and sparsely furnish some of the spaces. The decor was not my favorite but I guess it helps define the spaces a bit. The first time I saw these pictures we were in Japan and I hadn't stepped foot in the house for months. I hadn't even seen the walls with drywall. For a while, all I could see were the things I would have done differently. But now that it is somebody else's home I'm just glad to have saved a special, old house.

long time, no...

Well, obviously I didn't keep up with the blog on the Duval project. We ended up moving to Tokyo and it wouldn't have been possible. We hired a general contractor to oversee the project and just sold the house on January 5th. The whole thing took way longer than we anticipated. As these projects always do.

We are about to start construction on our own house here in Bryker Woods, an old Central Austin neighborhood. We have been working with an architect for about a year to get the plans ready and we are finally just waiting on the city to review and issue us permits. So feel free to follow along as I try and keep up...
