Our first house...A diamond in the rough... The before pictures

WE WON THE BID ON THE HOUSE!



It may not be much but we like the layout and some of its features...real wood floors...a wood burning fire place...a large nicely shaded back yard to name a few. So here are some pictures of the house we bought. If all goes well with the inspection (pray that it does) we will be able to start moving in and renovating in early September!




Front of the house.... We are removing the flower bed to the left and taking out that light and the storm door... more than likely painting the trim and garage door brown and painting the front door pumpkin orange and we may put some shutters on the window that would also be pumpkin orange... and we will be removing the sidewalk in the front and replacing it with paver stones and I look forward to planting some pretty flowers and bushes in the flower beds along the front...



Living room and breakfast bar... We are painting the room a light tan and refinishing the wood floor painting the under side of the breakfast bar (off white) and maybe adding some molding to the fire place.



Fire place My mom got me these two vases that will sit on either side of the fire place and I'm thinking that wall will be painted a cranberry color... and above the fire place we will be putting some family pictures....


Seeing as I like to sew and I am going to be sewing pillows for the living room I am going to sew all of the curtains for the house! I may even sew Adlie's bedding set... I have yet to find one I am absolutely in love with....

Kitchen.... We are going to bring the tan color in to this room as well.... We are going to replace the counter tops with a dark granite looking laminate and we are going with black appliances we are also talking about doing slate tile on the floor...


Kitchen 2 again we will be putting new counter tops here and I'm thinking about a tile back splash... I would like to do a bronze fixture and do some thing different with the sink.... also we are talking about a build for the bar... but its hard to explain


Dining room... paint new light fixture floor...


Garage um the car goes in here...lol


Master bath.. slate tile on floor new vanity and mirror and new tile for tub...*new light fixture too


Master bedroom... new carpet at some point new light fixture wall heating is coming off and painting


Hall way... floor fix and paint and new light fixture...


hall bathroom new light new sink and mirror new tile paint and shower fixtures... (slate tile on the floor too maybe)


Matt's office....(the video game room) paint clean the carpet (we may pull it up to see if there is wood if there is we will remove it)


guest bedroom... floor fixed walls painted ...


Adlie's room... fix floor... paint ( antique white with thin white vertical stripes) new light fixture...
