This house has been an absolute dream come true for my husband and I. When we first saw it, we saw a quirky house, not going to lie lol. But something about it when we walked inside immediately grew on us. As we walked through each room, we saw more and more potential. We found out the previous owners had lived here for over 50 years and raised their 4 babies in this home. It felt so right to take advantage of the opportunity to take our shot at purchasing this house. We felt very strong that this could be the place where we could raise our babies. Our goal is to fill this house with as much love, laughter, and memories with as many family and friends as possible. We have only been living in this house for about 2 months full-time now, but we’ve already made some wonderful memories here and can’t wait for the next 50 years!
Now because this house is 124 years old and the same couple lived here for SO long and were elderly, this house needed a definite facelift and some love put back into it. The previous owners took such great care of this house and were SO proud of it. We have been working really hard to put our own stamp on this house and making it ours, while also respecting the age of this house. We love how old it is and the history that’s held here, so we are trying to go for a modern-vintage feel in the house, bringing in some newer age designs, but also letting the beauty of this old house shine through.
Enjoy a few before and after pictures of the projects we’ve been working on! I am SO new to decorating or doing any type of home projects/renovations, so any advice or suggestions to add more character and life into these spaces are welcome 😂 we still have a lot of decorating left to do and more carpets to replace, but it’s been a fun 2 months so far!
Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
