The Farm Back in the Day

Here is a picture that we were given from the previous owner.  It was taken about 1950's.

The barn, windmill, corn crib, and building by the garage are no longer standing.

Kitchen Cabinets

After weeks of sitting in the cold wet garage, the kitchen cabinets were brought into the house, unpacked and installed.  We ordered Thomasville brand cabinets from Home Depot.  They look great, unfortunately not everything came correctly.  Home Depot has been great to work with and the issues should be resolved quickly.

The base cabinets

Base cabinets and uppers.  All of the cabinets should be painted, panels for the sides should be coming to us to fix this.

The Old Is New Again

The floors were refinished last week and look amazing!  90 plus years of wear and tear had to be sanded off and luckily underneath all that grime is a beautiful wood floor.  The second floor of the house was painted with a greenish paint and now just have polyurethane on them, and the main floor has been stained and polyurethane put on.

Master Bedroom floor.  The hole in the floor will have the original vent put back in it.  This vent is also where the guy refinishing our floor stepped through and cracked the newly completed and painted ceiling!
