Our House

So I'm trying to locate all our photos of the house remodel. It's hard to post them next to eachother sorry.

Our house, we have redone some work outside but sticking mostly to the inside. The front of the house had an enclosed porch, which we thought dated the house. It's an arts and crafts style so we wanted to orginial feel We took all the storm windows off and opened the porch up. All our neighbors love it! We were excited for our 94 years old neighbor to come over and say that how it was 50 years ago. We love sitting out on it, drinking decaf :) and reading!
By the way, you'll see a new sliding door across the front of the porch, Townes fell off the front porch on his bike so that night Danny built a lockable door!

After tearing carpet out and making the huge hole in the wall where the kitchen will be.




Didn't clean to well for you guys. We are still working on the house and decorating. I still don't know what color I want in the dining room. We have redone all electrial, all light fixture/fans, refinished the orginial hardwood, painted the trim and wall, and installed new windows.

Matt, our good friend and carpenter, really helped me with the kitchen ideas. We are still waiting on doors for the fridge cabinet but Matt built the cabinet to give it a more custom look. Very happy with it, and the spacious cabinet on top.



Our Cabinet...ah...well, thanks the Lord those were a free gift from my parents. Since cabinet can cost thousands of dollars. Only problem I hated the color. So I'm trying to figure out colors. I finally decided to do distressed white! But still in the process, waiting to be able to afford a range top microwave for the hole above the stove. Matt built our countertops, and his still putting crown molding on top of cabinets and some cubbies on the bottom. Danny and I had a good time tiling the backslash together.







We decided to get a big farm house sink and add recessed lights in the new cutout. We also got a dishwasher! The old kitchen bearly had a sink and very little countertop. This kitchen needs a lot of work, but has come a really long way. We also had three doorways into our kitchen. One where the fridge is, one to the left of the stove, we closed both of those for more counterspace and opened the wall up to the right of the fridge. We added new real hardwood to the floors, which Danny and I finished together! I have a garbage disposal with a cool push button on the sink, a great new energy star dishwasher so I'm very happy with the kitchen, just needs to get finished up. We are also putting brick to the right of the sink, it's an old chimney so we want it to look like one. The big white spot is a patch where the old stove vented out! Our house is almost 100 years old!!
