Scary bathroom


Detail of wallpaper in guest bedroom


Guest bedroom


Bedroom #1



Sweet butterfly wallpaper survives!


You ask why? I ask why not?


View of the backyard from inside a window
(pardon the crack)


"patio room"
boasts not one but FIVE different types of wood paneling

the scene from the laundry room looking out into the "patio room"


Perhaps it will look better in the summer?

Weird but wonderfully retro cut out above wall between kitchen and living room.


Of course the wood paneling covers paint which covers wallpaper.


The Kitchen.
eh.

So there you have it! Let the renovations begin!

HOUSE...........roadhouse

Welcome to my blog of remodeling my house! It's going to be so fun and I'm doing it as cheaply as possible so that will be fun too!

Background:

Built 1951 ( so mid-century - yes, modern - no )

Roughly 1200 sq. ft. ( and I do mean rough )

Presently decorated with a delightful mix of materials!

Pics to follow.......
