We Bought a House!



We finally found a house WE BOTH AGREED ON.  It goes back to the basics of what we originally wanted.  A ranch-style house, 10 acres, on pavement, and close to town.  It was considerably cheaper than everything else we had looked at, but needed some updating.  So, here are the before pictures and demolition has begun!

Livingroom.  Will have new flooring, new doors, and a 2-foot higher ceiling.
This wall between the livingroom and kitchen is coming out.
Diningroom will have new flooring and my pantry access will be here.
Kitchen will have new flooring, the cabinets will be re-finished, and new countertops.
Bodey's room will have new flooring and paint.
Love his double closets.
Booker's room - same changes as Bodey's.
Guest bathroom will have new flooring and countertop and I will refinish the cabinets.
Master bedroom will have new flooring, fixtures and paint.
Master bathroom will be totally different.
The hallway laundry closet (left) will become part of the master bath and laundry room will move.
We are finishing the basement that will include a bedroom, bathroom, rec room and living room.  You also can't see it in this picture, but there is a utility garage down there too.
The stairs are currently in the garage and will be moving inside.  This area will be my mudroom.
This is my office.  Part of it will be gone to accommodate moving the stairs inside.
 
Our backyard - to the trees!

I'm totally digging the house. It looks perfect. I can't wait to see your project as it continues and is finished. I love ranch style homes....and to get it on 10 acres is even better.
