I've been asked by a few people to show some pictures of the new house, and am finally getting around to it.
Warning: Picture overload!!! If you really don't care I would stop now because this is long!
For those of you who don't know, last month we said goodbye to our ND house. Our first home as a family, the house we brought Elliot home to, the house we had so much fun doing projects on
And said hello to our new home in MN. We have had our eyes on this house for a long time. We knew it would need more than a little bit of loving to get it livable, but we loved the location and the space we would get, not to mention the low price because of the condition it is in.
Hope you enjoy these before pictures, can't wait to show you the afters in a month or two!
Here is the view you get when you walk into the front door:
To the left is Elliot's room, guest room, linen closet, and a full bath.
Looking to the right a bit from the front door you see the main living area with the kitchen/dining/family room. The master bedroom/bath is the door on the right
Elliot's room. He has the best views with a west facing window you get to see the sun setting over a small pond.
Standing in the kitchen looking down the back hall towards the garage. The whole desk area is out and will be replaced with a nice pantry.
Looking towards the front of the house. I love how bright it is in there with the large windows.
Kitchen, obviously. New appliances will be come in a little over a month so we need to get the new floors in and painting done so we'll be ready for them to be installed.
The basement wont receive much attention right away. We'll focus on getting the upstairs ready so we can move in and then tackle the downstairs when we feel like starting up again.
Family room
There's a second living room adjacent to the first along with two unfinished rooms in the back.
What's that great masterpiece on the back wall you ask? Well let me show you the piece de resistance:
Yes, we have our own huge hunting mural, oh how lucky am I?!?
You can see there is mold down here, so all the drywall will get ripped out and the walls cleaned before we move in.
There are two more bedrooms in the basement, but without closets. Check out that awesome carpet! Makes me feel like I am in a bowling alley.
The view from the back deck.
The day we bought the house.
Starting the demolition:
Phase 1 is ripping out all the walls in the three bedrooms upstairs and putting up new drywall.
This is only the beginning of our fun adventures on this new house. I'll try to share some more pictures as we keep on.
