WE OWN IT!

Here are some pictures of the inside of the house.
We have plans to tear out all of the flooring and replace it with hardwood flooring and changing out the carpet in the bedrooms. The home needs a good cleaning and painting as well. I've explained below all of our planned changes for the house. Of course, not everything will be completed before we move in (probably on April 11th). Also, I forgot to take a picture of the hall bath - sorry it is unexciting.
We are going to wait to up date anything in the basement.
View from the front door. The living room is on the left, the stairs to the basement are straight ahead, the dining room and kitchen are behind the wall.
Stairs to the basement.
Living room. We are planning on taking out the (non-load bearing) wall on the right to open up the living room to the dining room and kitchen to make one LARGE great room.
Dining room on left and kitchen.
The Kitchen. We plan on re-staining the yellow oak cabinets to a dark chocolate brown and changing the cabinet door fronts to a simple shaker style. And of course we want to get stainless steel appliances with a gas stove. We also want to change the U-shape to an L-shaped kitchen with an island.
Back door to the deck and a desk. We are thinking about taking out these cabinets and making the space into a pantry.
Hallway to the bedrooms and bathroom.
First bedroom on the left. Probably will be the boys room - smaller closet.
2nd bedroom on left. Bigger closet (walk-in) so it will probably be Allison's room.
Master bedroom at the end of the hallway. We plan to move the wall on the right out about a foot to expand the master bath.
Master bath. We plan on tearing out the tub shower and making a stand-up shower with glass doors, updating the tile, and changing the vanity to double sinks.
