Some pictures of the new home

Today I am sharing some pictures that I took of our new home that we will be moving into the first weekend of October.  All of these pictures show the current homeowners items.  Here is some of the kitchen.  The only pantry is the cabinets by the double oven.  Boy am I going to miss my walk in pantry.  We are going to change out the back splash for smaller tile.  I am not a big fan of large tile for the back splash.  I am also going to be revamping the island.  I am thinking about adding bead board, corbels and painting the whole island white with a brown glaze.

Next is the bar in the basement.  This is another area I would like to revamp. I think that it could use upper cabinets or at least some shelves.  I will probably paint these cabinets and make it more rustic looking.

I am also thinking about redoing the tile around the fireplace in the basement and adding a mantel.

Another fireplace I want to revamp is the one in the family room by the kitchen.  I don't know why it is so high off the floor.  My thoughts are to add wood moldings around it and maybe extending the wood above the mantel also.

That's it for now.  I am really getting excited about doing some projects but not too excited about all the packing and unpacking.

We just had our inspection done on our home and now we need to get by the appraisal.  Once that is done I can start packing items.
