A House Tour… Part One

If you’ll remember, I moved (yes, again) into the bungalow my boyfriend was living in. This 1915 gem has a wide front porch complete with porch swing and is full of character. It’s also full of nasty carpet and windows painted shut. But we love it. I took these photos before and after Christmas decor went up and the fireplace was painted, so don’t be confused. After I show you the new digs, I plan to highlight in other blog posts more details and what our plans are.

Upon walking in the front door, you are greeted by our main room. This main room serves as a living room and dining room, and provides access to the kitchen, two bedrooms and the bathroom.

This room also a fireplace. The fireplace used to look like this:

After some wine encouragement, it looks like this (more details to follow):

The living/dining room is long and narrow. I think this picture really showcases that.

Straight back from the front door is our kitchen. The small, lack-of-counter-space, CARPETED kitchen. But it’s cute! That counts for something, right?

It does have glass front cabinets, my dream.

There’s also no dishwasher… unless I can name my dishwasher “Justin”.

Behind the accordion doors in the kitchen is our laundry room.

It has a built in pantry, which is a MESS right now. Amazing how such a little place needs so much work.

After seeing these pictures, I’m sure YOUR mind is already running through a list of projects to be taken on. In Part 2 of the house tour, I’ll show you the other half of the house. And look for up coming posts detailing the projects we plan to take on in each room.

Let me know what you think!
