I like instant-gratification.
They look pretty interesting from here.I wonder how they’ll look from the top once we get all that peel and stick tile off of every.
So you can see there are a lot of horrible, ugly, back-breaking problems that we’ll have to deal with all over this house, but to tell you the truth, I’m feeling pretty grateful for every one of them..As if having a beautiful country property on which to live out the rest of our days isn’t enough….My mother-in-law has a little place right on the beach, just a short drive away from our new house..This is how we’ll spend our Summers.. How did we ever get so lucky?I’ve shared some of these photos on my old blog before, when we were going through the home inspection stage of buying our house, but I thought I might just show off a bit again for any newbies out there..
So this is where the magic will happen:.The view from the back yard..
Looking in the other direction..
The old garage with the cool sliding door..Chris found these behind the garage when he was landscaping back there.
He just stacked them up neatly until we decide what to do with them.. We think they must have dumped them back there when they were tearing out the wall between the original house and the master bedroom addition.. Any great ideas out there for what to do with it?So, blog-worthy things happen around here pretty much ten times a day, but time to actually document and share them… not so much.Anyway, here’s one thing!.
That’s original hardwood there.. Isn’t that kinda the dream?You buy the big old country house in need of love, pull back some of the ugly and find tons of original beauty waiting for you to unleash it!.
