Home tour

As many of you know, we have recently moved. We bought an older home in one of our favorite areas of town and (with the help of an amazing contractor) have been renovating since April. 

We love the house- but it was built in 1968 and has had the same owners the whole time, so it needed a little...updating. Several people asked to see some before and after pics, so here goes!

Entry:

We thought about keeping the brick here, but it was crumbling and would have cost more to restore it so out it went. 

Living area:

Added some built ins to change the flow a bit, stained the floors a little darker to match the beautiful mahogany beams on the ceiling.

Another view: 

Kitchen (definitely my favorite):

The back room used to have a built in bar, but we liked the idea of a big open dining area not as closed off. Plus the windows give a lot of great light. 

The entry off the garage had some great storage space but the cabinets were falling apart so we converted it into a mudroom. 

The last thing we really updated was the master bath. We changed the configuration a bit to fit 2 sinks and got rid of the awesome saloon doors (don't worry, they are still present in other areas)

We did a lot up front, but like with any older home there's always a list of more. For instance, the upstairs bath...

Complete with pink dressing room (and saloon doors!) and full bath with avocado fixtures and carpet (which I hear should be awesome with potty training a boy). 

We love our new home, love walking to school, spending time around the table with our friends and family. So come join us any time!
