The inside of the house

Today we were able to walk through the house and look at everything a little closer.  I have a LOT of painting to do.  Other than painting I'm not sure where to begin.  And I really need to get some where to get some paint samples. 

 The kitchen cupboards.

 Above the sink.

 Empty space in the kitchen.  We are going to add some base cupboards here.  So, now I need your advice, should I paint all the cupboards?  Including the ones I'm adding?  Or should I try to stain the ones I'm adding to match the cupboards that are in the house already?  Seriously I need some ideas... so leave me a comment or shoot me a message.

The wall that the stove and fridge will go on.  The kitchen has 5 door ways in it.  Which makes it a little interesting for cupboard space.

 Our future bedroom.  The carpet in this room is what sold the house for me.  LOVE IT!  :)

 The main floor bathroom.  The tile is all done really well.  The bath tub and sink are pink.  It's not exactly my favorite color, but we can deal with it.

 The only room with wallpaper.  Thank goodness!!!  This is my future office.

 The hallway upstairs.  The paint is... interesting.  The woodwork is beautiful!!!

Abby's future room.

 The bathroom upstairs.  I'm not loving the paint color, but it is the only thing that needs to be changed.

 Nate and Jake's future room.

 The future toy room.

 Luke and Matt's future room.  This is the largest room in the house. 

 The stairs.  They aren't going to be fun to paint.

 Dining room.

 Another shot of the dining room.

 Living room.  The living room and north bedroom (Luke and Matt's room) have new windows.

 Another wall in the living room.

 Old piano.  I want to keep it, Jared wants to get rid of it. 

 Another picture of the office.

 This is my future tiny laundry room.  :(  This could be the thing I miss most about my house now.  That and having two ovens.

 The front porch.  It needs a little love.

 The other side of the porch.  It needs some love too.  Behind the screen door is a closet and I think we are going to turn that into my pantry.

Beautiful window in the dining room.

Jared did pull up the carpet in part of the dining room and we think there might be wood floors that we can salvage underneath.  Of course we won't know until we fix the ceiling, patch holes in the walls and then pull up the carpet.  I figure worse case scenario we have to put a throw rug down.  So lets hope they look decent!  So, this is our future home.  We have a lot of work to do, but I really look forward to it and seeing what this house can be!!

The house

Ok, here are some outside pictures of the house we are in the process of buying.  I will have inside pictures after the weekend. 

 The front of the house.

 The barn needs a little work.  And we will probably spend a year just mowing and cleaning.

 One of the out buildings.  It needs a little love.

 The small garage.

 The chicken coop.  It also needs a little work.

 The tree house.  It's rotted.  Matthew wants to sleep in it.  I think Jared will have to build them another.  Mabye on the ground.  He's concerned about them falling out of it.

 Another shot of the chicken coop.  It'll hold a lot of chickens, it just needs some TLC.

 Another out building.

 An old shed that needs removed.

 The side of the house and lots of weeds.

 The front of the house taken from the road.

 The boys thought it was cool someone left this for them.

 The boys checking everything out. 

 Abby is ready to go in.

 The front of the house where water has set.  We have to remove some dirt and start over on the grass.

 Boys running and checking everything out.

 The back of the house.

 Trash.  Lots and lots of trash that needs to be picked up.

 Wide open spaces... and more weeds.

 The porch needs some love.

 The barn also needs some love.

 And a new roof.

But the boys don't seem to care at all.  They are ready to move today.  Matthew and Jake were trying to pack for me.  They packed clothes, food and books in one box before I realized what they were doing.  It's going to be a long month!!
