About My House


Our house was built in 1921. It has two bedrooms, a bathroom, living room, and dining room on the main floor. The kitchen is 13 x 13 and has 29 cabinet doors and 8 drawers.

The master bedroom on the second floor is 40 x 15, with 3 walk-in closets and a full bath & shower.

What I Did


We have done a few things to our house. When we moved in not one of the rooms had any paint. The whole inside was painted by me and then we had pros come help finish off the upstairs. We just recently remodeled the kitchen, taking all the doors and draws off to strip and return to original.

We replaced the driveways between the houses to a wide shared drive, 25 x 90 ft plus. Then we added a new rock wall that I put in myself.

Tips and Tricks

  • Have someone that knows something or anything that you're doing there to help, or that you are able to call for help.
  • So many lessons and still learning!
