Jon and I just bought our first house!
Since we are first time home buyers we are able to role renovation costs into the mortgage so we are getting some work done before we move in.
First off the kitchen. The description on the real-estate listing said "newly remodeled, spacious kitchen".
What that really means is long awkward kitchen with new appliances and old cabinets that were painted over. There is a 16ft space between the walls with cabinets.
Since Jon and I place a high value on cooking and feeding people this is the first thing to go.
The living room is in pretty good shape but we're going to have some fun with it so here's a before picture.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that since our house was a short sale the previous owner left a ton of stuff that is now legally ours. Anyone in need of a huge set of kicked in speakers? How about a purple chair with a broken spring? No? How about an old school big screen tv that we thing weighs a couple hundred pounds?
Next is the upstairs bathroom. Water has soaked through the tiles and made the wall soft. Meaning the tiling has to be ripped out, the wall replaced and new tiling put in. While we are at it we are going to put a new sink vanity, flooring and mirror in.
