This Old House

So folks who know us know about last year's home purchase and the massive undertaking our quirky fixer upper is proving to be. Our more polite friends and family affectionately refer to the situation as "Carter's Folly". The rest just straight up call us morons. In any event, I was looking through photos of the house before we started working on it, and I was reminded of just how much we've accomplished over the past year. I plan on posting some before and after pictures of the rooms we've done so far, and perhaps we can get some feedback on what to do with the remaining space. First up on the docket will be the kid's room.


This was one of the least offensive rooms in the house at the first viewing. As you'll see in future posts, the former occupants of the home (a beauty salon/day spa) felt that painted plywood subfloor was a perfectly acceptable flooring option. So that was problem number one. The home also had an extremely inefficient and antiquated boiler system with registers all over the house. We updated with a forced air/geothermal unit, so those registers had to go. Finally, the room had a funky paint job with the leaves and such, and the pictures don't quite capture the amount of cobwebs and dust and overall dinginess. In the next post I'll show ya'll how we transformed the room with carpet, a snazzy paint job, and some good old fashioned elbow grease. (I've been watching way too many DIY shows.....)
