Right after the wedding we took a short trip to Miami and then over Memorial Day weekend got settled into the start of renovations.  My dad was generous enough to offer to help us with the house and stays here all week while we come back and forth on the weekends, the moment we can :)  In the first few weeks of renovations, a lot of the work was clearing out all the old baseboard, trim and really getting a feel for how the house would best work for us.  My dad and D also did some serious demo on the kitchen.  See below!

Kitchen demo, looking good!
