New Hour Tour: The Before Pictures

We just closed on our 4th home! After such a long year of many unknowns, it feels so good to be able to put down roots somewhere. It's been 7 months since we started the process of selling our last home, living with family, finally moving out of state, and to now finally have a place to call "home" is a wonderful feeling. 

I have soooooooo many plans for this house! So I thought it would be good to do a "before" post with all the pictures you can handle seeing (I need a funny face emoji here haha!). I took some pictures when we had our home inspection so I'll share those. 

Are you ready for picture overload?!!! Here we go:

Front of house. We plan to pull out all those over grown weeds and bushes this coming Spring/Summer. We also got a new roof a week before closing so that will look a lot better too. I can't wait to PAINT that front door!

The two windows on the right will be the kid's playroom. The two windows on the left will be an office room with my piano and some cozy chairs.

 When you walk in you see these stairs just slightly to your right. This is all open with a room on either side.

 Room to the right which will be the kids play area

Going up the stairs. Remember, I purchased new light fixtures! I can't wait to see them up there. 

This is the view from the play room to the front door

Kid's Playroom

The Office (to the left when you walk in the front door). I definitely have my work cut out for me in here!

 As you're standing at the front door you can see into the living room

Here's the view from the living room looking out into that hallway. The door to the right is a coat closet. The door on the left leads to the finished basement.

 Looking at the living room from the dining room. I think it will look so much bigger with 2 couches on either side of the room instead of a sectional.

Looking back into the dining room and kitchen while standing in the living room. That door to the right is the finished basement. The doors going straight back are the laundry room, garage, and a pantry/coat closet.

 Kitchen

 The kitchen is to the left of this picture. The playroom is to the right. The sliding door you see is currently a coat closet but I'm thinking about switching it to a pantry. 

Straight ahead is the laundry room.

To the right there is a door to the garage.

 Laundry room straight ahead.

Other door is the garage.

 Laundry room

 From the kitchen you can see the kid's playroom.

The door on the left is currently a pantry which I'm thinking of switching to a coat closet/kids back pack closet.

To the right there is a bathroom.

 Half bath on the main level

View looking down from upstairs. That chandelier has got to go!

Master Bedroom

 Master Bedroom

Carpet is being replaced on the whole second story

Master Bathroom. Carpet is being ripped out.

If you go out of the master bedroom and turn to the left you go into this bedroom. This will be our 4th child's bedroom. She still wakes up in the middle of the night and we need her close to us!

Lyra's Bedroom

Walk down the hallway and to the left will be my other daughter's bedroom. 

 Ayla's Bedroom

 Across the hall from Ayla's bedroom will be the boy's room.

 Basement. I just.... ummm... We are replacing the carpet before we move in. My husband actually just took out that wood bar. One side of this will be my workout area/TV  area. The other side will be the kid's play area. We also hope to put a sleeper sofa down here for when guests come.

Paint is going to completely change this room!

Back of the House

Oh yes, we also got the hot tub!!! I can't wait to use this thing!

I'm so excited to take you on this journey with me. As I transform each room, I'll be posting the changes I am making. Before we move in we are replacing the carpet in the basement and on the second floor. We are also replacing the floors in the upstairs bathrooms. New light fixtures and paint will happen this week or right after we move in. Stay tuned!!!
