Home Sweet Home...soon

A friend, Amanda Owens has asked to see pictures of the house. I was going to wait until we started working on it to show some before and afters, but why not go ahead and put the befores up now, right?

So, our house is in Whitwell, TN (up there, they pronouce it whit-wool). It's about 20 miles west of Chattanooga. It has great mountain views and it's on an acre lot which we (and Rocky) love. It has a large master suite addition with an attached office, two other bedrooms and one other bath. So without further adieu...(when I asked Joey how to spell adieu, he said "a-do.")


These are ones the realtor took, we'll take some better ones when we move in. I want to paint the shutters and front door black, the garage door white, and of course do some landscaping.


The whole acre isn't fenced-in, so we have some woods in the back. Of course, my "Tim the tool man" wants to rebuild the deck.


The living room is open to the kitchen/dining, and we'll just paint it.


We love the wallpaper, just kidding! It's coming down, but we're keeping the beadboard and painting the walls.


Well, we were going to redo all the cabinets in here, but when we priced them we decided it was too much for this little starter house. So we're going to change the hardware, take down the wood at the top and add crown instead. We'll also install a dishwasher. And Joey's sweet dad is making us a beadboard island with a butcherblock top!

So that's all I have for now, but we'll take some more pictures as we progress!

Sorry some of the pics are small; they wouldn't get any bigger.
