Our Home

Our Home
We purchased this 1920's-ish farmhouse on March 16th, 2012 and began our DIY makeover

Before pics

 This is our new living room.  Kind of hanging out in the middle of the room is a gas fireplace/heater that is about 50 years old.  Behind the stove is the dining area and the door on the right of the stove leads to a "middle room".  It is the size of a bedroom and from that room you can get to an extraordinarily small bathroom (the only in the house), a good-sized added on "lean-to" and the second, rather small bedroom.


 This is the "middle room"...  The door is to the added on "lean-to" and you can see the newer gas fireplace here on the left.  The wall behind the fireplace is shared with the bathroom. 

 This is our tiny bathroom.  The shower is to the right of the sink.  My husband is 6ft 4in... I think he might be able to fit in it!

 The other side of the bathroom.  You have to shut the door to actually sit on the toilet!

 The stove in the "middle room".  The door to the left leads to the bathroom and to the right is the "lean-to" area.

 
This is the bedroom off the "middle room".  We are planning to use it as the master because the door you can see on the right leads right out the front porch.  I'm not actually sure our Cal-King bed will even fit in the room!

                                   
 More "master bedroom".  At least there will be lots of light coming in!

"Master" bedroom closet.  We will be going from a very large walk in to this...  I see a lot of dressers in my future!

 
 Back in the living area.... This is the dining room.  You can just see the entrance into the kitchen on the left.

 This is the front of the living room.  You can see the front door to the right behind the heavy draperies.  All the windows are single pain, and some are even slat pained, so there are heavy draperies throughout the house to keep in the heat.

 This is the kids room... Very pink.  We are planning to fit our 4 children in this one room for now.  The good news is they are 2 to 6 years old, so sharing is still fun.  But the boys (at least the 6-year old) objects to the pink (honestly, so does mom), so we are planning an animal theme with colors to be determined.  The only thing we know for sure is we will be investing in bunk beds!

 More of the "pink bedroom"!

The area linking the kitchen and living area.  I know it looks like a chalk board on a brick wall...It is actually a brick panel with an area of green wall paper in the middle.  But check out the cool cabinet...  I have big plans for that find!

Pictures of the kitchen are to come, as well as the unattached laundry shed and more...
