Since my last post in December, Lucy and I have moved to a house. It's a small home built in 1945 on a big lot. Both the home and the lot have lots of potential and I plan to slowly make that potential materialize over the next several years (that's how long it will take me to afford it all).
the front
I bought it in March, so the trees are leafless. There is lots of grass, which will eventually go away to make room for planting beds and meandering pathways. I also plan on building a rock wall - like those I took many, many, pictures of on my European trip.
the original kitchen
I kind of like the kitchen like it is. I will eventually get rid of the formica counter top, get a new sink, and refinish the cabinets, and get a gas cook top. I may keep the oven, I mean, how can I get rid of the Harvest Gold?! The rest of the house is pretty normal - two bedrooms, one bath. Nice windows and light. But the best part, and one of the main reasons I bought the place was the fireplace. I LOVE a good fireplace!
fireplace - Lucy's bed next to it!
I had a fire on the second night we were here. It needs to be cleaned - but I had to make sure it worked! This little place is a fixer, but Lucy and I are slowly getting settled. I've got the living room and kitchen/dining room done and the bedrooms are coming along. Between school and work, I'm pretty beat. But I figure I've got nothing but time - so my time I will take.
