when we were looking and day-dreaming about finding a house perfect for us, we both were quite settled on the idea of an older home. when people would suggest we get a new townhomey-home (the type of house that feels like a townhouse but is just detached) for the same price, we were both on the same page: we wanted a home with character and an established feel. it's exactly what we got.
in one of our walk-throughs before closing on the house, weston took some snapshots. unfortunately, we don't have any of the kitchen. i'll give you a bit of a before & after tour of the house where we have photos.
may i present, the kitchen:

the previous owners had a creamy color above the wainscoting, so we painted a crisp white and then freshened up the wainscoting and trim with a new coat, as well. we also hung the pot racks to give us a bit more storage space. thankfully, the floors are recently tiled and the appliances are quite new. the kitchen is just the right size for someone who doesn't know too much about what goes on in there!
2 quick quips:
Thank you for doing such a great job with your blog. I love catching up and you guys have done such a great job with your new house. It does have so much character and the kitchen came out really nice! Kathryn is leaving for China in August and we will be blogging more often as a way to keep a journal and keep in touch. You are awesome!
I just love that you sprang for a older home. There's so much to say about a house having character. I hope someday when we leave here we can find a place with personality and charm like you guys did. It seems to fit you so well.
