Tour the new house...

Tom and I have now had our house for a week... we've been there every day painting and starting to put in hardwood floors in the upstairs bedrooms. Apparently we forgot to take pictures of the front of the house and the backyard so I'll post those later. The house is 1080 sq.ft, located near the University and a bunch of really big dog parks. It's a 1960s bungalow and some of the features definitely show it... some we like (like vaulted ceilings) and some have already been ripped out... We'll post more shots of the updates as we get various rooms done.

Entryway complete with little milk door under the window:

Kitchen, in need of a make-over for sure. It's a bit cramped and the cabinets aren't super functional. The appliances are fairly new at least!

Kitchen skylight:

This is the divider between the living room and kitchen, totally wired up for power and provides some much needed extra storage.

The living room and other side of the divider .... with the lovely faux fireplace covered in some yellow-green laminate. We've ripped off the laminate and it looks much better already. Eventually we want to replace it with a real gas fireplace.

Upstairs hallway:

Master bedroom with sliding glass doors that open onto the deck:

The ensuite off the bedroom (or pee closet as Tom has named it since it's really about the size of a closet and very ugly).

The two other bedrooms (and one of the closets... all of the closet doors were removed and just had ugly drapes covering them).

We'd like to redo this main bathroom as well... obviously the people who were here before were quite short since the showerhead is about shoulder-height. Down to the basements... with this lovely painted wood panel and un-insulated walls. Behind that door is a downstairs bedroom: Tom's new workshop is in the basement too: View towards the other end of the basement and laundry room door: Laundry room, furnace room (door to the right) and downstairs bathroom: Basement bathroom:
