Demo Continues…

As week 2 comes to an end, more of the walls have came down in our fixer upper. Rooms are looking really bare. Wait… rooms don’t look like rooms! Bathrooms are not bathrooms anymore. The kitchen is no longer a kitchen. They say working with a clean slate is easier but now my head is starting to spin with where the hell do I start! Ready for some more demo pictures? Here you go…

This is our spare Bathroom. The upper right photo is the before. The photo on the left was during demo and the bottom right is it completely gutted.
This newspaper was lining the inside walls of the spare Bathroom. It was from March 29, 1950. A 5 blade lawnmower was $14.95. So cool!
This is the powder room off the kitchen. It was tiny to say the least but it did its duty (get it 😂). We decided during demo to remove the wall to take a foot off the family room to make it bigger. Now, you’ll be able to sit and go to the bathroom without the wall being directly on top of you.

When Jason and I were looking at the house before it became our fixer upper, we were walking from room to room discussing what was needing to be updated. Now that those thoughts have became a reality, it’s a lot to take in. In a good way! We are taking every square inch of this house and making it our own. I love it! There is a saying, “home is where the heart is.” This means that their love, affection and fond memories will always be tied to the place that they live. So much of our heart and soul (and money) will be going into this house to make it our own. So far it has been fun!!! I absolutely love that Jason and our kids have jumped on board with this crazy journey that I fell in love with. Now, we all can’t wait to start our new fond memories here.

Love ya, Lisa

BTW, Will our local farel cat came back around this week for the second time. He/she decided to walk the lawn with me while I was putting seed down. Wasn’t sure if it was going to attack me, if it needed a friend or was trying to eat the seed I was throwing in the grass. Don’t worry, I’m not going to become a cat lady! Cats are too mysterious for me.

  1. Love your updates Lisa! This is like my new favorite obsession! I demo’d a couple houses and built one from scratch and all I did was obsess and change things and redo until I knew I was in love. It’s so much fun. I better be on that house warming party list!

  2. My decorating idea—frame some of those 1950 newspaper section and hang throughout the remodeled house. What a memory and conversation piece.
