bungalow in Highland Historic
District... which will soon be
our home! :-D The driveway is
off to the right. (You can
barely see Kathy's Mom
standing in it.)

these pictures belongs to the
current owner.))

straight ahead goes into the
living room. The door to the
left goes into the alcove off the
bedroom.
in the front door. This will be
our living room. Through the
archway is the dining room.
The door at the back is into
our kitchen. You can barely
see it in this picture, but the
wall to the left is an accent
wall, painted a deep plum. We
will keep the accent wall but
change the color.
The beautiful (original!)
hardwood floors you see here
are throughout the house,
except in the laundry room
(linoleum) and bathroom (tile).

seats lift up for storage.
the master bedroom. There
are three windows on the left
wall which I didn't manage to
capture. There are currently
blinds on the closets in the
bedrooms. We will replace
these with curtains in the short
run and doors in the long run.
I hate the peach paint in this
room, but I don't yet know
what color we'll paint in here.
bedroom that used to be part
of the front porch but has been
enclosed. These built-ins are
on one end of the alcove. The
door goes out to the front
porch. We may use it for a big
closet/vanity/dressing room,
or we may use it for a
computer/office space.
there is only a shower stall. We
will take this out and install a
bathtub - hopefully a claw-foot
tub if we can find an affordable
refurbished one. (Note above
that there's a ceiling fan even
in the bathroom - the only
rooms with no ceiling fans are
the dining room and the
laundry room.)

closet on the other side of the
bathroom, behind the door,

going to make this a
playroom/TV room and
possibly also the computer
room.

nursery. The curtains will be
replaced very quickly. :)

Kenmores, and they're
included in our deal! (That's
Annabelle and her Nana -
Kathy's Mom - in the shot)

afford it. That corner cabinet

that the cabinets and drawers
are well-made and will last
forever.

will store up there, but we'll
by-golly need a ladder to get it
down!
the stove. The stove and fridge
(which you can't see in these
pictures) are also two years
old and are also included in
our deal. We plan to get a
portable dishwasher to avoid
cutting into any of the
beautiful cabinets; it will live
next to the fridge in the area of
the kitchen you can't see here.

out a lot of this ground cover
and open the yard up a bit for
Annabelle. Off to the right, on
the other side of our fence, is a
carport we can access from the
back alley.

the house. We don't know
their significance or history
yet, but we plan to find out!

We close on June 23rd, and
this will become Home
