More House

These pictures will seem comical in a few posts. Why? Because, we seriously thought that we would be able to do the demo on the house ourselves. So we threw a big pizza party to kick off closing and then started demo. It was very fun and we felt like we got a lot done. 

In talking with the owner of the house we learned that they worked with an interior designer when they built the house in 1979. They followed all the designer's advice and then never updated a single thing again! So the wallpaper was the original wallpaper. The beautiful pink walls (who the previous owner called terra-cotta and got very upset with me when I called them pink) and the wet bar have been in the home for thirty plus years.

I have a personal issue with hearths. I dislike them and all I can think when I see them is emergency room trip waiting to happen. So out the hearth went:

Stay tuned....you're going to be shocked!
