UPDATES and LOTS OF PICS!

Since moving in we have been renovating like crazy! We painted most of the rooms and had to put in new carpet(due to the original carpet dry rotting). We also had to replace the dishwasher and fridge. Despite the updates, we did our best to keep with the original integrity of the home. We really want it to seem authentic when people see it. Enjoy the photos.

Farewell to our dishwasher...

Our dishwasher was used one time before it crapped out. It is just one more thing to add to our list of unexpected expenses. We were told it worked, but since the house had been vacant for over a year we knew there was a possibility it might not.

As soon as I started it up it began smoking and smelled like burning tires. Not good.
We ended up getting a new stainless steel one to match the stovetop and new fridge. This is it:




*UPDATE: Lowes came and measured for new carpet upstairs since the old shag had dry-rotted. New carpet will be going in late January. We found a retroesque patterned carpet that we love. It is the same color gold as the original shag and will go perfectly with the 1960's custom curtains and original cloth wallpaper.

SNOW!

Today we had the first snowfall of the season and my son was in HEAVEN! We have the BEST hill for sledding and the two fireplaces come in handy on these cold evenings. So cozy!
