The Big Reveal

 So I told you when my house was done I'd show you the before and after photos. 

I still have things to do , making decisions on what I want to do with the trim, paint, or stain or leave it. I need to organize more once I get a feel for where I want stuff so I might just take the winter to decide all that.  This has been some journey and I admit cost a lot more than I was expecting but grateful that after selling our house in Eden I had the money left over to fund this endeavor.  Once again like last winter I'm looking forward to reading, watching movies , going to the gym and starting my business "Mrs Captains Place" back up again after the holidays. Oh and baking! I can't wait!

I'm going to post all the before photos and you will see why I never showed you any of them! Only a few people actually saw what it looked like when I moved in. The fellow who lived here never cleaned or evidently didn't know how to use a wood stove or build things.


This was the one part that was still garage and would become my bedroom


The chickens lived in here and you had to walk through here to get in the house and yes 
behind that window on the right was my bedroom and the window is now on the
chicken coop.


This door led to my living space


Looking back through the chicken space to the main door through the garage


This was my kitchen, luckily the fridge worked ( still had plastic on it ) the gas stove wasn't hitched up to anything , wood stove was actually set up on wood blocks....everthing was covered in black soot.


Looking back into the livingroom the door there leads to the sunroom 10' wide 



ha ha this was the bathroom with a shower/tub that I wouldn't even consider using, the propane heater didn't work either...


this is standing in my bedroom looking towards the kitchen.
