Yesterday we found out that our loan was fully approved. We close on it next Wednesday April 18th, 2012 and are very excited to start remodeling/decorating our first home. It bought this house for a steal and plan on doing little by little to fix it up. We plan on removing all the bushes in the front yard and adding a little up to date landscaping along with the help of Derek's mom.
We first plan on painting the house, refinishing the floors, and installing central heating and air in the home. This home is a 1963 brick ranch and hasn't been updated since the 60s hence the need for central heating and air. ((Baseboard heating will stay and we will use this in the colder winter months to save energy and money on central heating)). We also want to remodel both bathrooms (hallway and master bathroom) demolishing most everything in the bathrooms.
We plan on priming and painting the wood paneling and fireplace.
We plan on replacing everything in the kitchen, from the appliances, new cabinets, new countertops, new floor, new backsplash. (basically everything).
Last, we plan on remodeling the basement for Derek's dream of having a "Man Cave". We plan on painting and adding carpet to the downstairs.
I will be updating the pictures on the post as I update our new home. Stay tuned for paint colors, ideas on decorating, etc.
