The OH-SO-CREEPY basement!!

 
 
 
Here you go again...creepy stairs, this time it I am taking you to the BASEMENT!!
 
 

 
 
This is the main part of the basement notice AGAIN there is another mural in the corner :)
 
 
 
 
Up close picture of it....sorry there is a table in the way LOL
 

BIG attic

 
this is a pic of the north side of the attic....ok so the boards werent ALWAYS torn up, we had to tear  up the boards so that the electricians could put in lights above the bedrooms and because they ran cords down them. But eventually this room will be a hang out for the boys :)
(last project) lol
 

 
 
 
 
This is a shot of the dormers in the attic      

Ok this is the stairs to the attic..little small and little creepy, add new stairs to the list of things to do on our list!!

Heres some of the GUTTING pictures!!






 
Here is that old window from the kitchen picture
 
 
This is what we had to tear completely  open this is looking into the living room.
Everyone is wondering why we haven't moved in or what we are doing, well we are doing the boring YET crucial things, like *shivers* DUCT WORK!
 
Right now we are also working with one of the BEST electricians, MIKE HARPER :)


The stairs


 
 
Here is a picture goin up the stairs and down the stairs, whoever had the house before really liked stenciling :/
 

Living room...Great woodwork!!

 
Okay here is the view of the awesome staircase! i cant decide if i want the top part of the railing or get rid of it...what do you guys think?
 
 
I should really take closer pictures of the wordwork! it is really great, and yes i am keeping it and refinishing it too! We are opening up the front windows, so we will have alot of light coming through!
 
 
 

Here is a better picture of the staircase.

Red carpet "Not for sale" ;)

 
There was a bathroom put in, it was put in the dining room...i guess when you gotta go you gotta go!!
 
Through the little door way, you see red carpet....





YIKES!!
 
If anyone is interested in useing this in their house or maybe lining their dashboards....well we already junked the carpet, SORRY :)


Julia Child...eat your heart out!

 
 
 
This "was" the kitchen..sorry there isnt more pictures, but i did ask Art to take some of the house and i think he took like 12!

Brace yourself...your entering the house :)

 
This is the entrance to the back of the house
 



 
Here is part of the view as if you were to walk into the back entrance..behind that little wall was a SHOWER! I dont know about you, but i dont think i would have liked company entering and seeing me in the shower...or should i say "THEY" wouldnt like seeing me in there!! LOL


The "well-put together" garage..

 When we bought the house or even BEFORE we bought the house my dad was bound and determined to get rid of that tree behind the garage!
                          The tree was removed 2 weeks after
                              we closed! :)
                                            Ok this isnt going to stay...it HAS to go!  ICK

More angles to the house...
