House Tour - Part 1
First floor and the creepy basement!
I’ve decided to drag out the house tour into 3 posts. Because:
- I want to relish in all the details that you surely don’t care about
- Once I catch up to the present day, there won’t be as much to say as often and I don’t want this blog to come to a screeching halt.
So Part 1 in this enthralling 3-part series will be about the The First Floor and the Creepy Basement! Let’s get down to business.
The Living Room
The first floor is a big, open floor plan. It flows unhindered from the front door to the back door, through living room, dining room, and kitchen. I use the term room loosely - there is physically no separation between living and dining areas.

and more painting
The house was basically move in ready. Although the finishes weren’t quite our style, it definitely didn’t need any updates. So the only thing we really wanted to do before all our furniture got in the way was paint.
Before
The entire first floor and second floor hallway were a sort of mustard yellow color, on both the walls and ceiling, except for a maroon accent wall in the living room. The baseboards also needed a little TLC (Did I mention this house is over a hundred years old?!). You can see the original colors in the picture below:
