House Tour

It's starting to feel like Home Sweet Home!!

Here is part 2 of my house post.

I would have had it done sooner, but I was having problems with uploading pictures....

anyway.....

This is my kitchen,

the cupboards are original, they used to be yellow, (like the wall color now) and the counter top and backsplash were a bright orange!! it was hideous!

We plan on gutting the entire kitchen in the next couple years, but for the time being I can live with this...
We are going to repaint the counter tops with a "marble look" melamane paint, my cousin used it and she likes it, so i am gonna give it a try.

I also seen a really neat idea for a silver backsplash.....

I will post pics as soon as it is finished!!





This is the hallway off the kitchen, the door at the end is my laundry room...

the other 2 doors are Raven's bedroom and our 2nd bathroom.

This is the 2nd bathroom....and yes it is the same paint colors as the kitchen.....

the walls in this house were all white, and to save money the previous owners, used alot of the same colors thru out......we have 2 brown bedrooms......and the other bathroom is the same color green.......and so is the dining room and other hallway.......

we are in the process of getting rid of all the green.....except for in this bathroom
I like it in there, and it matches the shower curtain pretty good.


This is Keilee and River's bedroom

It is one of the room's we painted all ready.

The color in here was horrible....lol


Dont mind the ugly blue flooring.....its original to the house, and we are replacing it very soon!


This is the other brown bedroom.....
It is my oldest daughter`s room, she is 8.

She likes the color, so for now we are leaving it

I am trying to put lots of bright colors thru out to brighten it up a little....check out her curtains...ha!

Laying on the bed like she owns the place, is Raven`s youngest sister ( lol our kiki baby)

This picture was taken while Raven was in school.....hence the laying on the bed like she owns the place....lol


Another view of my dining room.....can not wait until this gets painted.....best get my butt in gear and get it painted! lol


More green..... this is the hallway leading to the other 2 bedrooms and main bathroom
and the soon to be family room


This is the soon to be family room.....but until we get at it, it is just a junk room.....



So that is our house!

We have LOTS of work to do yet, but I am excited to be unpacked and starting all the work!

I am all ready in love with my house!

Oh WOW!!

It has been a really long time since I last posted!

Where has the time gone?!?

I have been super busy.....with well if you read my last post...you would see what I was busy with....lol

But I am happy to report that we are all unpacked! ha!

Here is a glimpse of how the house looks right now.....


This is the masterbedroom.....
 

Please pay no attetion to the horrible blue original tile floors.......



they are one of the first things that will be gone soon!

Our bedroom has his and hers closets!!!! Love them!!

This wall is by the main entrance.....I love how the stars and the saying look together....just hate the wall color.....I have a really nice color picked out...can't wait to see how it looks all together!

This fireplace mantle came out of a house that was built and lived in by my fathers great grand parents!
I was so excited to get my hands on it! lol
My dad's cousin and his wife own the house now, and are doing renovations.....
They took the mantle out and were going to throw it out....
Their neighbor and my good friend nabbed it for me!

I absolutley love it!

Its beautiful and it has sentimental value!


This is one of the few changes we have made so far.....lol

a chandelier in the dining room....there was just an regular ugly light there before...




The living room.....

This room has original hardwood floors...




See the star.....lol it is covering a non working thermostat....lol




Okay, I have to say this has to be one of my fav things about this house......

my very own closet!!!

I will post pics of the rest of the house tommorrow.....gotta save something for then...lol

Have a good day!
