Our New House

Our New Home
I will try and get a better outside picture when it's not so cold or dark. 
My boyfriend and I bought this home after a long month of going back and forth with the realtors, bank and appraiser. 
It's finally our's and now the fun begins. 

The home is only 870 sq ft. 2 story but the upstairs isn't good usable space (the ceiling are low) we are still using upstairs as a guest room. The whole home is being gutted. We are moving the bathroom to the other side of the house and adding all new windows, door and floors (minus the original hardwood in the kitchen, bedroom and living room. 

Most all the work will be done by us. We have so far spent 2 days on demo work. 
The plumbing, electric and windows will be done by licensed contractors we hired. 

Enjoy watching us make this home ours and as questions if you have any. 
I will try every few days to post updates and lots of before and after pictures.

I love it! This home certainly has charm. I love the wood floors, brick, tub and sink. Thanks for sharing your amazing work! I'm looking forward to more pics, when you find the time. :)

This is a neat idea to record your progress on a blog.You have it set up nicely. I should have done the same with my remodel.
Looking forward to seeing the progress. <3

Will you have storage room under the stairs?

It was going to be my pantry under the stairs but I think now it's going to be the computer desk so all the cords and stuff stay neatly tucked away.
We have to wait till we get the kitchen in to see if I have enough pantry space before we make that decision.
If anything we have a whole wall in the kitchen that has nothing on it I can have someone build me a pantry there.

I really like the tile! Everything is looking good. I'm glad all is going as planned so far.

Looking for more updates. :-)
If I could do my house over again, I would make sure I had some unexpected storage spaces like the some of these on this website. I like the divider storage area shown on here. You may be able to incorporate some of these in your house if you like this sort of thing. Hope all is well. Love, Mom
