Fixer Upper- Week Two

One thing that I noticed right away in our fixer upper was that in true 70’s fashion, the kitchen was closed off from the living room by some short interior walls.  After consulting with the Mr., it was determined that we could use some different support for the wall and take out the short walls.  It will involve a little reconfiguring, but now it will be so much more open and inclusive.  It should feel like all one big room!

Here’s the before-

Here’s what it looks like now-

Meanwhile, I’ve been busy painting ceilings just to give them a fresh coat.  I was kind of sad painting over the clouds.  🙁

That’s all for now!

Fixer Upper- Week One

As promised, here is a tour of the main floor of the fixer upper.  It is your typical 1970 split level and looks like it was in the process of some updates before we purchased it.

Come on in!

I have big plans for this place. After all, I’m the designer on this project! I’ll try to keep you updated on our projects but you’ll have to be patient. I am a part of the labor too. 🙂

I hope you enjoyed the tour!

Curiosity Killed The Cat

I know you are all curious to see what the new house is all about. We bought the house adjacent to our property with plans to do a little remodeling. What we’ll do with it afterwards is still a bit uncertain.  The Mr. & I will be your very own Chip & Joanna while we post pictures of our Fixer Upper!

I’ll give you a quick tour of the exterior. Here is the front.

Here is the back. Don’t get too attached because it will change. We have already taken off the back deck.

And now my work begins on the inside while we wait for the new windows to arrive and we plan a garage.

I’ll post some interior picts soon!
