The Living Room/Dining Room

The Backyard

That's all for now, folks!  Now on the docket we have move-in, unpack, birth a baby, and start on home improvement projects.  In no particular order.  I hereby do solemnly promise to post "after" photos and details upon completion of each home improvement project here on my blog.

Kirk out.

The Guest House: Before

The wait is over: we have a yard again!  And a couple of buildings built in 1950 were included in the contract (isn't that how gardeners see a home purchase?).  The main house (where we will live) and guest house need quite a lot of repair and renovation, so hang onto your shorts!  We're in for quite a ride.

Work has already begun in the guest house to prepare it for our friend to move in, so without further ado, I give you the "Befores": 

The Front

 

The Bath

The Kitchen

This is a view of the dining room side of the kitchen.

 Here's the view from the laundry area in the bedroom. Concrete floors where carpet had been ripped up.

 And here's the same bedroom from the entrance.  That's a closet on the right, and laundry hookup and shelves on the left.

 And here's the living room.  Again, we have concrete floors where molded carpet had been ripped up. 

Here's the view of the living room from the door.  Our friend has picked out some chill colors for this place, and you guys won't even recognize it when it's done!  

Well, that's about it for now.  Stay tuned for "before" pictures of the main house!
