As soon as we closed on our house, we started several projects immediately — we replaced our
roof, removed the scruffy edges on the extra carport (aka «winnie
hole»), added hardwood (red oak) floors
in the living room, dining room, kitchen / den, and laundry room to match the floors
in the back half of the house, screened and recoated the hardwood floors
in the back half of the house, replaced the two sliding glass doors from the kitchen / den out onto the porch with French doors, removed doors between the kitchen and dining room and between the den and entry way, painted the wood panelling
in the den, painted the cabinets
in the kitchen, replaced the old cabinet hardware, replaced the sink and range / hood, replaced a single wall oven with a double one, added granite tile kitchen countertops, added a beadboard backsplash, replaced a
few light fixtures, added a chair rail
in the dining room, added crown moulding
in the living room and dining room, and painted lots of rooms.
