I'm not so great at uploading pictures on this blog, but here you go. Please ignore the few random boxes that are in some of the pictures - still got more things to put away, but we have made some great progress so far.
This is the master bedroom. It has a walk in closet, which is really an add on room, but it was too messy looking to take a picture of.
Upstairs half bath. It overlooks the back yard, and its nice to have a second bathroom for Nathan.
Nathan's bedroom upstairs. Its a decent size room, despite the slanty ceilings
Kitchen. You can't really tell from this picture but it has an old cast iron one piece sink / drawers. Its pretty retro cool. The cupboards are really old as well but they are in decent shape and have a nice charm to them.
Back yard. Kind of a ghetto cement patio. I plan to put in a garden off the back of the house (on the left side of the picture) but this year my tomatoes and peppers get to grow in pots.
Front view of the house. The yard and landscaping is really nice; a lot of great shade plants on the west side of the house and these bushes provide great privacy for our fabulous porch.
Porch. The previous owner rebuilt it using Trex board about five years ago. He also left us this nice bench. We look forward to many many hours of porch time here.
Our 100+ year old house comes equipped with a boiler and radiators. This terrified me when we initially looked at the house, but supposedly radiant heat is a better heat. Now we just need to figure out how to turn it on and control each radiator. Most of our radiators look like this one, which are original to the house, and are pretty cool looking.
Dining room. Almost every floor in the house is hardwood. The floor is a little wavy in this room (BCH says it undulates) but its not too bad and our inspector assured us it wasn't a structural problem. Our hardwood floors are REALLY creaky though (no sneaking around the house at night, thats for sure!)
Living room. The fireplace is not as bright red as it looks in this picture, its just the lighting. But it is red. I hated it initially. But its grown on me, and we found this really nice rug that mostly matches. I would like to paint it a slightly different shade of red. Also, that faux painted wall is going to be re-painted. Its pretty awful looking.
Another angle of the living room. It has a really nice window bay and a lot of light coming in all the windows. Our furniture looks pretty good in here. I love this room!
There you go - not pictures of everything (bathroom, walk in closet, 3rd bedroom, mud room and basement were not included). We have some more things to change, like painting, as well as installing a dishwasher in the kitchen and creating some more counter space. But so far we are loving it even more than we thought we would.
