Happy Thursday loves! We got the best surprise and closed two days earlier than expected, so we got the keys to our new home on Tuesday afternoon. To say we are happy is quite the understatement. We just love it. Every nook and cranny, every bump and bruise.
I shared a few photos with you when we first put in an offer on the house, but today I wanted to give you the official tour. I've taken so many pictures of the property over the past few weeks and I've been anxiously waiting to share them. The tour is comprised of a mix of a few pictures from the original online listing (Metrolist), and those I snapped myself.
The Deets:
The Cottage Bungalow
Built 1950
1217 sq ft (plus 245 sq ft addition)
2 bd, 1 ba
2 car detached garage
The Tour:
Front Entry
Living Room
Side Porch (Off Living Room)
Dining Room
Hallway
That wall paneling wont make it past a week! Because its hand carved I almost feel bad for giving it the ax. #notreally. Also, notice the patch in the floor? It used to house a floor mounted heater at some point so both sides of the wall (hall and living room) have the same patch. We have someone coming out to quote us on feathering in the correction today.
Bathroom
Michael's Room
Bryanna's Room
Ill snap a few better shots of her room un "staged" while Im at the house today.
Master Bedroom (Bonus Room Addition)
Kitchen
Laundry Room
There's also a small storage closet along the wall behind the doors.
Well there you have it. The interior and side porch of our little home. I just love it so. We've already begun the renovations in the kitchen. We wanted to take advantage of the fact that we still have possession of the apartment until the end of the month. This way we can work on it without having to live through not actually having a kitchen. I'm posting sneak peaks and status updates on IG/Twitter/Facebook.
We are off to SoCal to visit family later this evening and will return on Sunday with Callie in tow. I hope you all have a happy and safe weekend. I'll be back on Monday to share a tour of the exteriors.
Until next time...

ReplyDeleteYou have seriously found a gem!!! The closet doors in your daughters room are dreamy!!! I'm also kind of loving the floor in your laundry room...is that weird? We should probably figure out how to duplicate your house and send it to Cincinnati!

ReplyDeleteI adore this gorgeous little bungalow and I can't wait to see what you guys do with it! The sky's the limit!
ReplyDeleteLove the floors so so much. And so glad you were able to swing it before you moved in. Cause yuck, I've always thought it would stink to refinish floors when you were living there. So much dust and fumes and all the other stuff that comes with it.
ReplyDeleteLove the color you chose, too.
