Summary
Watching your former homes get altered by their new owners can be tough, and we witnessed some changes that bothered us more than we expected. This week we're sharing how we got over those feelings and how to find the silver lining in seeing someone undo your designs. We also took a long overdue step in making our current home's driveway more kid-friendly, Sherry gets sentenced to more time in "tooth jail," and our beach house has a brush with a true-crime saga.
