House tour

Here's a little tour of our home (from when we first got our keys April 2012). Progress pics to come...

The front bedroom...which is currently our office/Charlotte's room

View from inside the office/Charlotte's room...gotta love that hideous yellow. And the plaster isn't in very good shape. And they did an awful job painting.

Hallway view from Eden's room into Charlotte's room (back to front of house)

The girls'/guest bath. The only thing that looks different right now is that we have a different shower curtain. I'm dying to redo this bath. NOT my taste. The wall color reminds me of baby poop. And the painted green clawfoot?? Why would anyone desecrate such a beautiful tub like this?! And the tile job is terrible. WIth a capital T. You just can't see it here. 

Eden's room. View from the hallway.

Eden's room...view from the back corner. The open door is the hallyway, the door on the right is the attic, and the door on the left is the closet. This room has been completely gutted and redone...more on that later! Talk about a hideous color combo going on in this room...YUCK!

Living room view from the hallway. Awkward tv nook and the doorway to our master bedroom (two steps down...because it was an add-on). Some bad patch jobs on the hardwood...plans to refloor the entire house down the road...

Living room view from our master doorway. Front door. Hallway doorway on the left.

More of the living room, looking into the kitchen.

Kitchen and eating area, view from the living room.

Kitchen view from the eating area. Door on the left is the stairs to our basement.

Eating area in the kitchen (pretty small and cramped). View from our back door (where we come/go since the driveway is in the back of the house).

Some how we entirely missed pictures of our master bedroom/bathroom, so here is what it looks like currently. No judging allowed. It's fairly clean, but I'm a mom of two little kids.

The door on the left is the one to the living room. And yes, there's a blackout curtain on it because it's made of glass??? Who installs a glass door for their master bedroom??? And please ignore the closet door that's leaning against the wall. The literally just fell off its track yesterday, and I haven't had time to fix it yet. 

View from our bathroom. Hate the carpet. And the paint color. 

View from the closet...looking toward the bathroom. Bay window, a randomly place bookshelf (I really can explain that one...it's just an awkward explanation. And it's moving soon anyway). And that door on the right leads to our patio. Kind of awkward, right? Hey everyone! Let's go from the patio to our master bed/bath!

Charlotte's cage while I shower. And yes, this bathroom is entirely open. No door. Apparently whoever added this area onto the house didn't care about privacy. First the glass door. And now no bathroom door. Which gets really annoying at 5am when my hubby is showering and getting ready for work. Let me tell you.

Oh, the lovely 90's era green shower and countertops! This shower looks deceivingly big here. It's not. It's tiny. And talk about an oddly placed shower head. Only one half of the tiny shower stall gets water. 

Can't get enough of this gorgeous greeeeeeeen! On the other side of the shower there is a toilet.

Hello little toilet! 

The weird nook where our hamper sits. Previously, it had a bench...like the kind you would see in a sauna. Weird. So much weirdness in this area of the house. And so many glass blocks. 

More glass blocks, and the small opening to the bedroom above them...?? In case you wanted even LESS privacy or something. 

Terribly painted/distressed cabinets, brass hardware, green counters (and an awkward vanity that's lower than the sink??). Not sure why they didn't just make this a double sink. Oh! Wait! Because they wouldn't have been able to put in those much-needed glass blocks! 

 So there you have it. That's our house. Lots of work to be done. It's just a matter of money and time! It'll be a slow but (hopefully) steady work-in-progress. We've got some really big plans for our room and bathroom that we are excited to tackle. We're hoping to make that the next project after the yard is done (once we have the funds saved up).
