Most of you remember about a year ago when we took on our "bathroom project" and if you don't, just go back into the blog archives and you can read all about it.
When John bought our house I was more than ecstatic because he was finally leaving the nest at the ripe young age of 28. I tried to keep quiet that our house was really a "fixer-upper" even though John didn't think so much that it was (I guess everyone has their own definition of that!)Well, at least it wasn't as bad as the "Money Pit"
Anyways, the house was being rented out by a family who was too poor to pay for heat so they sealed up all of the windows and ran kerosene heaters (yes and with a small child in the house). This left some nice soot all over the walls. The carpeting was also almost black. The basement (apparently it is considered finished, I would disagree with that)was gross, along with the kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms.
Thanks to my great mother-in-law and all of her fine scrubbing we at least felt that after cleaning, painting, sanding and installing new carpet we felt at least a little sanitary!
So, the big project last year was the bathroom, this year it is the kitchen.
We are going to re-route our basement entrance, knock out one of the walls leading from the dining room to the kitchen and make our back door into french doors leading out to the patio. I have to say that I am very excited! It will be so nice to have everything opened up and be able to move aroubd better in the new kitchen!
So, we are scheduled to start this Saturday, I will definitely keep you all posted!
