I think everyone has been asking for photos of the house Diann and I just purchased, so here’s a quick rundown. Cheers! — e
The front of the house from Spring Street. You can see the shadow of a handful of pine trees that line the front of the property. Gravel drive and parking to the left of the house. Our neighbors to the right, have their log cabin style house set back off the road (far right).
Front and side of the house, gravel drive and our front sidewalk and porch area.
Up from the split level landing is our living room with lots of natural light!
There’s a nice big “window” to the dining room from the living room which makes the space more open and lets lots of light into the kitchen area.
The kitchen! We have all new stainless steel appliances to go with our rustic brown cabinets and festive wallpaper (detail photo below).
Our dining table with a door to the small back porch and backyard (photo below) and the window to the living room.
Kitchen wallpaper. 🐔🐔🐔
Just outside the kitchen is the hallway to three bedrooms and the bathroom.
The first “bedroom” is clearly intended as a child’s bedroom, so we’ve converted it into a large walk-in closet for Diann with our dresser, chest of drawers and she has a closet all to herself!
Bathroom - pretty standard stuff here: small vanity, komode, tub/shower.
The back bedroom has wood flooring, so we’re using it as an office to make it easier to roll around in the desk chair! Working remotely 80% of the time, Eldon spends a lot of time in this room.
Office wallpaper!
The front bedroom is our shared bedroom and Eldon’s closet.
The basement is WIDE open with lots of storage space! The door to the right here is the entry from the split-level landing.
Lots of room for laundry and recycling!
More basement.
We’ve left this side of the basement intentionally open for space to do some house projects. You’ll notice the middle section has a door and a room and that’s our basement bonus room!
Here’s our basement bonus room! We’ve decorated it with all of our Hawkeye & Hoosier memorabilia. It’s a nice space with it’s own window, electric baseboard heater and is a nice getaway with it’s own TV, etc.
Finally- the backyard from the kitchen/deck. We’re planning on putting a cool fire pit set back into the hill and making a landing below the deck for the grill.
Let us know what you think! Cheers! — e
