We haven't moved in yet, but we've started demolitions and fix-ups right away! We plan to move in the house this Tuesday after the new carpet is installed. The old carpet was so yuck.
Seriously, ew.
I snapped a few shots Friday evening but the light was fading fast so I didn't get the greatest shots.
Here is the backyard which is off the carport to the left of the house. The back entrance sort of acts as the main entrance of the house at the moment. Eventually we'd like to change the front door (which is currently a sliding door) to be the main entrance. All in due time!
The backyard is really beautiful actually. There are some incredible flowers in the flowerbeds and I can't wait to add our veggie garden into the mix.
When you step inside you walk into the living room. The living room is quite large with a wood burner for cozy winters. Mmmm!!
Beyond the living room is the kitchen and dining room.
(Note the tiny space for a fridge and the red counter-tops. Haha! Not really my fave.)
Off the dining room is a long hallway leading to all the bedrooms of the house, the laundry, and the bathroom.
Bedroom 1 (Quite a large room, I think the original master bedroom?)
Bedroom 2 (Still big, though slightly smaller)
Master Bedroom (Worst picture ever. Sorry!)
Through the master bedroom is a small nursery or 4th bedroom. I know it as my future craft room. I can't wait to decorate it and have a place to organize all my craft stuff! It's like a dream come true.
There is lots that needs doing on the house, but it's so exciting to us! We have a place to call home and make our own. It's an exciting next chapter of our married life.

This place has so much potential! Can't wait to see what you do with it. :)
ReplyDeleteAh, Talia! What fun you'll have setting up a home.
ReplyDelete@Elizabeth, It has TONS of potential! I really can't wait until we start properly settling in so I can get crafty and deck the place out.
ReplyDelete@Paula, Thanks Paula! I'm really looking forward to it!

Congrats on your new home! It's very exciting to become a homeowner - and a bit scary! I also love the red countertops - mine are black granite. "Nice" but can you say boring?!
