I bought my first house last year, close to this time. I put an offer on it the day I went through it for the first time. My offer was accepted and I closed on the 12th of July. I will share my whole house buying story soon, but now I want to show you a few pictures of the inside of my house. I will post more pictures later and a house tour in the future as well. So here's the pictures I took after I walked through it once it was officially mine!
This is the backdoor, which I use as my front door because goes out to the garage and mail box.
Through the backdoor is the porch. My plan is to maybe paint the wood either white or a color and if I paint the walls and ceiling white, i'll paint the floor a fun color.
This is the family room addition off the porch. So far I painted the walls and ceiling white, pulled up the carpet to reveal bad linoleum tiles. My plan is to put down wood laminate floors over the tiles.
The galley kitchen. The only thing I want to do I get different drawer pulls, paint the inside cabinets a fun color.
The living room. I definitely want to paint it a lighter blue (it's darker in person), pull up the carpet (there is hardwood floors underneath!!!), and possible do something with the fire place.
This is the room off of the living room. I'm using it as a craft room/ office. I'm thinking of painting an accent wall a fuschia pink.
The bathroom. I eventually want to paint the walls, and maybe put in different flooring. I also painted the vanity which I will show in a later post. Oh and the purple sink may need to go as well.
The stairs. With the lovely blue carpet and blue walls, who wouldn't want to change it... yeah, it's all changing. Under the carpet (I had to check) is wood floors and staircase. And i'll be painting the walls white.
The first bedroom with walk in closet. All the rooms upstairs have hardwood floors. I already painted bedroom a sage green and the closet tan, and the ceilings white. I also removed the carpet. I just prefer new carpet, or wood floors.
I love the vintage looking door knobs. This house was build in 1931, so any vintage charm I want to keep.
And the second bedroom and closet. The only thing I need to do it is paint. And i'm not sure what color yet. Right now it's storage, but I would like to make it a guest bedroom.
So that's my little home tour. I will post progress photos, projects, and another home tour. I'm pretty excited for all the things that I want to do! And I can't wait to share them with you!
