Chardonnay Court Retrospective

Chardonnay Court Retrospective

Pictures from our house at 48856 Chardonnay Court over time. Some shots are from 2001 when we first moved in. Those are probably fuzzy because camera resolution was lower back then. Some shots are from 2020, just before the renovation. Some shots are from 2021, just after the renovation. Some shots are from 2023, when our furniture was out and the house was staged for sale.

Front hall

Front hall: 2001, 2020, 2021. Not much change until the renovation.

Library

Library: 2001, 2021, 2023. We never liked the tan and cyan wallpaper, so we hid it with bookcases.

Living room

Living room: 2001, 2020, 2021, 2023. The valances from the previous owner were pretty dark. For staging, they didn't have a large couch right there, so the picture looks different.

Entertainment center

Entertainment center, 2001, 2020, 2023. Changing technologies: videotape lirary replaced by DVDs, larger flatscreen, sound bar instead of speakers. The stagers didn't believe in technology.

Back living room

Back living room, 2001, 2020, 2021, 2023. We had a ping pong table for a couple of years, then the pool table till we sold it before the renovation. The stagers didn't believe in swords either.

Kitchen

Kitchen: 2001, 2020, 2021. Hard to believe how dark it was before the kitchen remodel of 2008: lighter cabinets, painted lightbox. Not much change during the 2020 renovation; you can't really see the linoleum replaced with laminate.

Spa

Spa: 2001, 2020, 2023. Original concrete floor sealed and stained green around 2015.

Hutch

Hutch area: 2001, 2020, 2023. Change to curio cabinets happened shortly after moving in (thanks to Ron Koci).

Dave's office

Dave's office, 2001, 2023. Photos don't really match; originally had old desk and bookcase along one side, main desk in back. After renovation, window hidden in mirror closet.
