The first step to making our house a home: get rid of (almost) everything inside. We received keys for the house on Wednesday, June 11th and since then we have made no less than five trips to our local transfer station (aka dump). Our house was built in 1986 and according to all the new and friendly neighbors we have met, the house has never truly been loved or taken care of. According to the neighbors directly across the street, there has been a hammer on the roof of our house for as long as they can remember. It has become their family's running joke as it has been their son's view out his bedroom window most of his life (he's 20 and in college). So far we have the following to do list:
To Keep/Update:
- Oak hardwood floors in the kitchen
- Front door
- Ceiling fan at entryway (for now)
- Fireplace in the formal living room
To Toss/Replace:
- All Carpet
- Moulding
- Roof
- All 3 bathrooms (sink, toilet, shower, etc)
- Kitchen Cabinets
- Kitchen Sink
- Appliances (washer/dryer, fridge, oven, microwave, dishwasher, cooktop, hood)
- Doors
- Woodburning stove
- Deck
- Fence
- Hottub
- Windows
To Redesign:
- Kitchen/Dining layout
- Master bathroom
I'll leave you with some pictures of the demo process...
