Before: The Main Living Spaces In The Beginning

Here is the house, before we did anything to it...

Let's start with the major rooms:

 Here is the living room.  Like the wall color? The blinds?  The red red carpet?  Neither did we.

 The wallpaper, fyi is a khaki grainy sort of texture.  And that fixture!  Wow!

 Gotta love the built ins.  The fireplace works, the chimney, is a bit rickety.

Here is the dining room, complete with velvet green wallpaper, plush green carpet, lacy curtains and adorable built ins and one hell of a chandelier.  It hangs very low.  The picture is deceiving.

And now perhaps my favorite room...the kitchen.  The picture does not do the trim justice.  Yes, it is in fact hot pink.  The counters are as well, though they are a bit more red.  What you can't see is that off to the right of the picture above is a little more cabinetry, a small bar type counter, and a trash compactor.  A trash compactor!

This is the "boys" room as I keep calling it.  Those are in fact custom built bunk beds.  They are very tiny.  Everyone who looks at the house says, "Is that my room?"  Yes, guests.  That is your room.

Here is the office, the walls are more pink than you realize.

This room, the master bedroom is amazing!!! It is huge!  Through that door in the back is the master closet, also huge.

I don't understand the wallpaper in this bathroom.  Wallpaper in a bathroom is a mystery to me, especially in Oregon.  But look at those tiles, and that sink, and the tub is gorgeous.  I love the blue and wish it truly showed up in the picture.

This nook is so adorable but seems like a massive waste of space to me.  I don't need all of this to get ready in the morning.  There is also so much room in the bedroom to get ready too.  Hmmmmm.  Perhaps when I have children this will make more sense?

And finally the basement, one day to be the man cave.  A dear friend, has already started a Pinterest page to help plan the remodel for this place.  Right now it is slowly being taken over by spiders.  I must be vigilant!

More pictures to come soon.  Next up.  Floor and wall demolition.  The move.  Minor repairs....and where are we now.  Feel free to leave comments, suggestions, and any other thoughts you might have.  We need all the help we can get!!!!!!
