Okay, I know the title of this post is a little weird, so let me explain. We bought our house from friends of my parents who had bought it initially as an investment property to flip and then rent out. After doing all the work to it, they decided instead to put it on the market, we bought it, you know the rest.
When we started to expand the kitchen I needed to know the exact name of the granite we already had (who knew there were SO many types of beigey granite), so it came in handy that we knew the previous owners. When Irene (my Mom's friend) heard about what we were doing, she thought we might want to see the BEFORE BEFORE pictures of our house, like before they did anything to it, so she emailed them over.
OMFG.
I've included the pictures taken before we moved anything in to give you a little more of a perspective of the improvements that they made. In case you missed any of the improvements Rich and I have made so far you can catch yourself up here, here, here, and here. I hope to one day do a full house tour when we're 100% done with the things we want to do to this little guy before we move on, but until then enjoy (or be terrified) by our before the before pics...
Scary right? What were they keeping in with that chain-link fence!? :: Ahh, much better
Living room with a random tiny doorway into the kitchen :: After, from another angle
What, you don't wanna stay for dinner? :: Fridge is now located in a nook to the left, much better use of the space
Is that a scene from a horror movie on the left? Nope just my guest bedroom before...
Crazy what some renovations can do right? It's like a different house and wait until you see the kitchen! Still have to order the granite and put up the back splash, but as soon as that's done I'll share.
