My Houzz: A bright and colorful New Construction Home - After renovating a home, most of us sit down, think about all the challenges and vow never to do it again, at least not for a while. But Lunardon Melissa and her husband, Tom Duggan, the end of their home improvement meant knocking down and building two new instead. The duo bought their first home in 2010 and enjoyed the process of renovation for three years. But they soon realized the best way to make the most of their plot was to bring down the existing property and build two townhouses there instead -. A living and the other for rent
The renovations were enough to keep us comfortable, so we do not lose too much money when to hit it off, said Lunardon. "Actually, I was selling our new fence, patio, pergola and kitchen on eBay to recover what we could." The couple moved into their newly built house in March this year, and since Lunardon used his architectural skills interior to create a space that reflects their modern tastes. The road to creating a dream home can certainly take its twists and turns, but Lunardon, this trip has given rise to a bright and spacious house, perfectly placed in the surrounding area.
