The House in its Original State

Here's the house before the remodeling began. It's pretty scary, so just know you've been warned. Hopefully we'll have some finished pictures pretty soon. Our strategy was to paint and get the flooring done before our furniture arrived. We had lots of great helpers and Kyle spent lots of time painting and tearing up carpet. However, we're not completely done with any rooms. We're getting close with a few. Hopefully we'll have some "after" pictures soon.

It's funny to look at these pictures now, because nothing looks like this anymore. The multi-colored carpet and the paneling is all gone. The only picture I don't have is the half-bath and the utility room. The half-bath is probably too small to get a good picture and no one really wants to see the utility room. You may have noticed some things missing in the bathrooms. Namely mirrors and other hardware such as towel rods. Whoever lived here previously decided to take the mirrors and hardware with them. Not really sure why...considering the state of the bathrooms I don't imagine they were exquisite pieces...but to each his own.

  3. the bathrooms are a little scary and the kitchen reminds me of Luke's grandma's, but imagining the rest of the place with new carpet and fresh paint-- it seems like a great house!
