the front porch

SOME of the stuff they left

the front door(complete with brick chicken doorstop)

going into the living room

i thought i liked things dark and cozy, but this woman took it to a whole new level...

windows in the living room look onto the porch

hoping this rocking chair wasn't too well used, if you know what i mean.

 looking from the living room into the dining room

 AWESOME MIRRORS AND PLASTIC SILVER BIRDS. awesome.

they had an estate sale(which means most of the neighbors know how much work we have ahead of us) and what didn't sell got left.  too bad we don't want it.

almost all of the windows have boxes on them and blinds and curtains.

 looking from the dining room into the kitchen

 

 yes, the washer and dryer were in the kitchen.  no, they aren't now.

out the back/kitchen door onto the back porch(smaller, will become a mudroom)

 OMG we have so much to do!

 pantry off of the kitchen

 ancient coffeemaker anyone?

 pretty sweet shelf liner... i know...

harry potter coat closet under the stairs

the woodworking of this house is really what got us... and that it's a farmhouse in our price range with character that has good bones/potential...

 we're going to keep this chicken.

 the windows on the west side of the house have awnings... we're going to see how hot we are this summer before we take them down.

 

why would you leave this beauty?!

upstairs hallway

 the bathroom and kitchen both have awesome marble paneling

 

there's a window behind that tile :)

future boy room

 the bedrooms all have stovepipe outlets and heat exchange vents in the floors

 future mama and papa bedroom

future gideon/guest room

she had a back scratcher hung on every level... ya know... for when you can't reach that annoying itch in the middle of your back.

thanks for leaving your bed.

as if ceiling tiles weren't cool enough on their own, they painted stars on them.

gideon's laughing because he won't have to lift a finger

we might be crazy.
