So if you added something like, Karen in the Woods and Steveio, who moved to the city. You still have your identity, (can't think of the word they refer to) but have changed it to reflect now. It's called "Brand" Karen in the Woods is your brand, so if you change it, it may be hard for new people to find you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557714217455633171.post-54770934895481986252012-11-05T06:55:47.007-06:002012-11-05T06:55:47.007-06:00Yes.. gonna have to change that title.... and my m...Yes.. gonna have to change that title.... and my moniker name!

Then once the main kitchen is done, the fridge and dishwasher can be moved out of the butler's pantry. We are planning to make the first floor bath a bit bigger, and making the butler's pantry into a first floor laundry.KarenInTheWoodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05884478307015605168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557714217455633171.post-86547612080891994732012-11-04T12:31:50.569-06:002012-11-04T12:31:50.569-06:00I love the house!

The only thing that I would want to change is the kitchen. Can the wall come down that separates the sink from the stove? Or can you just add a sink in the other room and make that a modern pantry? Cant wait to see what you do.

Looking back on the plot info, the first landowner in the 1860's bought it all while living in Germany, and sold off parcel by parcel to other Germans who were coming over to settle. Then it was later built on by the families once they got over here. This house was in the same family of four generations for 97 years!
