I thought it might be fun to post some before pictures of our "new" house. To be quite honest, we were mostly sold on the house when we saw the pictures of the backyard. These screen shots of the house from the MLS listing make me laugh because I would venture to guess the outside pictures were probably taken about 2 years before they sold the house. In the picture with the trash cans there is a tree that looks like a fern bush, that is now taller than our house. The quaint little veggie garden in the corner was completely overgrown with some type of vine bush. We have put a lot of work into the yard and are excited to enjoy it this season.
I feel like we have already put a lot of work into this house. I LOVE the potential this house has and we have a lot of big plans. For now I think we are going to have to be a bit content letting the house dictate our timeline of projects. For instance we were planning on replacing the garage door opener eventually, but the actual garage door broke pretty much in half. That warranted a brand new door, opener and track. It is nice to have, but it would be funner to be able to do some more cosmetic things. Future exciting upgrades include new windows and better insulation for the walls....way exciting I know.
Before we moved in we decided to have the house painted. I was debating whether or not to go with a light grey, but in the end decided to go with white. I love how much bigger it made most of the rooms and areas feel. A nice fresh start. No joke there were about 50 different paint cans in the storage room...all various shades of brown! We also had the basement carpet replaced.
