House #3 Home Tour

After fifteen years living in a 1970s traditional style house in a older neighborhood, we decided to downsize. (More on that later.) This house represented 15 years of blood, sweat, and tears. Renovating and remodeling and making it our own. Along the way we raised three amazing young men who are making lives of their own with our youngest recently married.

These pictures were taken in about 5 minutes on my phone to sell our house. We were already under contract with our new house and had to sell this quick. The house across the street was having an open house in three days and we wanted it listed and open for that. Whew! House sold in less than a week and the roller coaster ride began!

Typical of a 1970s traditional two story ranch house. Not much was changed in the front that is visible to the eye. We added new porch columns, new garage door, all new windows, shutters, and painted the aluminum siding.

Eating area off of kitchen. Many refreshes over the years. Mostly via paint and a new patio door.

This kitchen. Has gone through several updates, mostly cosmetic. Always wanted to do a total gut but couldn't afford it or have the time. Read the original post On My Way to a Dream Kitchen as well as the Country Wasn't Cool.

Let's be honest, this house had a large but awkward living room. Every. single. wall. had a window or a door or a pony wall. Made it difficult to arrange furniture.

View of the 'family room' a.k.a. my homes office.

View from kitchen into living room and dining room. Note all the doorways!

Master Bathroom (Jack and Jill style). Read about the last refresh Master bath update.

Dining Room. Added Board and Batten several years ago, new porcelain tile floor, ceiling medallion and crown plus paint of course.

My biggest challenge is to learn how to take better pictures!

Thanks for stopping by.
