Vision

Okay, so it might not look like much now. No big surprise to me. TRUST me, it's taken me quite a while to even come close to cracking a smile when it comes to this project. BUT, thankfully I have a vision for this place and I'm married to an amazing man who thoroughly enjoys any hands on DIY project. And this, my friends, is one heck of a DIY project.

So here it goes!

Welcome to the 1955 brick rancher.



Friend: "It looks like Cary on the outside."
Leah: "Yea. Well, it might be Cary on the outside but it's going to be all Leah on the inside when I'm finished with it."

The Foyer: Yes, those are saloon doors that provide the graceful entrance into the kitchen. And they will be for purchase on Craig's List very soon...so those interested keep your eyes peeled, or you can e-mail me directly and maybe we can work some deal out. ;)



The Living Room: Immediately to your right is the living room. The classic picture window on the front of the house and a nice gas fireplace!








The Dining Room: The living room flows right into the dining room which is off of the kitchen.






The Sun Room: So our lot is sloped quite a bit and when you are in this room it's like you are sitting in a tree house. There is so much potential for this room and it's gonna be adorable!









Kitchen: A quick step back through the dining room and we are standing in the doorway to the kitchen. Looks kinda scary now, all dark and old; but don't worry, I'll take care of that!



This picture is from the saloon doors.






This is Kenny! He's one of our carpenters. He's a really good guy.



Paneling Room: Honestly I don't know what else to call this room. But it's off the kitchen and just space waiting to be used "properly."






Master Bedroom: Just scroll down and see the master bathroom! Wait, will you even be able to see it? You have to look really hard, but it's in these pictures. All I can say is that who ever used to live in this house must have been really short.









Ellery's Room: Not really any renovations going on in this room but I wanted you to witness the sherbet colored walls yourself.



Ellery's Bathroom: Aww, how cute! They made it pink just for her back in the '50's. So thoughtful!!!



Yes, there is a guest bedroom and a full walk out basement. There is nothing very exciting about the guest bedroom right now. And the walk out basement is a post all of its own.

So for now, that's the place!

Renovations have started and I have more pictures to post so go ahead and become a follower of our blog so you can see the latest and greatest fun stuff happening!
