This Old House: Chapter 1

Well, we done did it.  We bought a house.  It is a very fine house, a very old one, but a very fine one indeed.  And it needs a whole lotta love. But, boy, are we excited!  Our goal is to transform this cute old house into an incredibly cute and charming one.  So, consider this post as not only an introduction to our future home but also Part 1:The Before Pictures.

Here we have the house:

The Front Entrance:

Next up, we have the Foyer:

Up close and personal with the banister.

Formal Dining Room that we will use as a Den/School Room/Family Room?. 

 We have decided not to keep the green ceiling.

This kitchen has SO much potential.  

See?

See the original wood floors?? We will be keeping those puppies in the kitchen.  

Raise your hand if you're excited!

Dining Area, Before:

We demolished the existing half bath and pulled up the floors

 to get to the original hardwood flooring.

View from the foyer.

Now we have a hall way and two additional rooms: 

a full bath and a mudroom/laundry room 

You know that saying, "If they can't find you handsome...at least they'll find you handy". 

Well, I lucked out and got me a man that is both handsome and handy:) 

Stay tuned for more updates on this old house...
