My House....Before

For those that have been asking.....here it is.  I did a final walk through on my house Thursday, signed all the paperwork on Friday but apparently we're in a line to actually get funded so that is supposed to be Wednesday.....these last two weeks have taken forever.  But while I was doing my walk through I snapped a few pictures.  I plan to put new flooring in and repaint the whole interior so I thought I'd take some "before" pictures.
This is obviously a kitchen.  Through that door is the laundry room which also has shelves down the entire back wall for a pantry.  Also the door to the back yard.  On the right would be more counter, the sink etc. and it's open to the living room.  You can also see the lighting fixture that should go over the table. On a side note, they weren't supposed to leave the fridge so I've been shopping for a black one, but if the white one is there and free I may just keep it.



Miscellaneous couch left behind. Behind that couch would be the wall into the kitchen.  You can see the light coming in from the front door.  That half wall you see goes into the hallway.  There is a middle bedroom that has double doors, the garage, Keaton's bed and bath are to the right and the master is to the left.  Since this room is such a walkway and since the garage goes into the hallway I'm planning on doing the wood laminate in the entry, living room and hall.  You can see that the carpet desperately needs to go.

This is the picture from the original listing...just for reference.


This room will be my playroom/office. It has the double doors that open up to the living room. Keaton's toy shelves etc will go in the closet or under the window.  I want to get a corner desk for the corner that you can't see :)  This room needs the lovely horses taken down and currently has no flooring at all. 

This is Keaton's room.  Not much to see.  It looks really small in this picture but it's pretty normal.  This is the only flooring in the house that is not trashed but it's going out with the rest of it.

The back yard is pretty good sized though the patio is small...on my to do list (probably not in the next 6 months) is to pour a bit more concrete.  Push the rock to the sides and put some grass in the middle and find a spot maybe in that back corner for the swingset.


Last but not least, the front of my house.  Just needs some trimming up and maybe some plants that flower...or some flowers :)

I plan on 3 weeks of "remodel" before I move in.  I feel like I'm making a big deal of this but it is my first house and it's just all mine.  If there is a good side of being divorced, I get to make all the decisions myself and it can be just what I want it to be....well with many budget restraints of course.  I am super excited to get my furniture out of storage and remember all the things I have.  Check back in a few weeks for updates.
