This Old House

Well last week launched the start of a new project for the hubby and me. We bought another house that needs some love and we're already rolling up our sleeves and getting to work!



So it needs a major face life--outside and inside. Originally, we thought we could get by with redoing the bathroom and kitchen before we moved in and then do a major overhaul later down the road. But... after several discussions and walks through the house and a few valued conversations from John's fellow construction friends, we've decided to do more than we originally planned up front.  So we're gearing up for a bigger budget (yikes) and longer time line than we thought. But I know in the end it will be worth it! I'll update with progress and pictures along the way. Here's what this old house looks like on the inside...

Kitchen

The unfinished 1/2 bathroom off the kitchen 

Dining Room
 Bedrooms upstairs




The new home has a big yard, which is so exciting! We have room to build a garage (garagemahall as John would have it) and still have a plenty of yard to enjoy.  Room for a garden, plenty of green space and even room for the dog to play. We're very excited to see how this old house ends!
