The Cottage Bungalow House Tour

Hi Everyone!

Happy Thursday loves!  We got the best surprise and closed two days earlier than expected, so we got the keys to our new home on Tuesday afternoon. To say we are happy is quite the understatement. We just love it.  Every nook and cranny, every bump and bruise. 

I shared a few photos with you when we first put in an offer on the house, but today I wanted to give you the official tour.  I’ve taken so many pictures of the property over the past few weeks and I’ve been anxiously waiting to share them. The tour is comprised of  a mix of a few pictures from the original online listing (Metrolist), and those I snapped myself.

The Deets:

The Cottage Bungalow
Built 1950
1217 sq ft (plus 245 sq ft addition)
2 bd, 1 ba
2 car detached garage
 
The Tour:
 

Front Entry
 
 
 

Living Room
 

 
Side Porch (Off Living Room)
 

 
Dining Room
 
 
Hallway
 
 
That wall paneling wont make it past a week! Because its hand carved I almost feel bad for giving it the ax. #notreally.  Also, notice the patch in the floor? It used to house a floor mounted heater at some point so both sides of the wall (hall and living room) have the same patch.  We have someone coming out to quote us on feathering in the correction today.
 
Bathroom
 
 

 
Michael’s Room
 

Bryanna’s Room
 

 
Ill snap a few better shots of her room un “staged” while Im at the house today.
 
Master Bedroom (Bonus Room Addition)
 

 

 
Kitchen
 

 
 
Laundry Room
 

 
There’s also a small storage closet along the wall behind the doors.
 
Well there you have it.  The interior and side porch of our little home.  I just love it so. We’ve already begun the renovations in the kitchen.  We wanted to take advantage of the fact that we still have possession of the apartment until the end of the month. This way we can work on it without having to live through not actually having a kitchen.  I’m posting sneak peaks and status updates on IG/Twitter/Facebook.
 
We are off to SoCal to visit family later this evening and will return on Sunday with Callie in tow.  I hope you all have a happy and safe weekend.  I’ll be back on Monday to share a tour of the exteriors. 
 
Until next time…

    Love the floors so so much. And so glad you were able to swing it before you moved in. Cause yuck, I’ve always thought it would stink to refinish floors when you were living there. So much dust and fumes and all the other stuff that comes with it.

    Love the color you chose, too.

    You have seriously found a gem!!! The closet doors in your daughters room are dreamy!!! I’m also kind of loving the floor in your laundry room…is that weird? We should probably figure out how to duplicate your house and send it to Cincinnati!

    Congrats!!!! I am really excited for you guys and can’t wait to see the extra lovin’ that you are going to put on/in your new home. It is already cute in the before state but I can ONLY imagine what the afters will be like. Fun, fun, fun! I am so living vicariously through you 🙂

    Wow… It’s got such a personality, the bucket style arches, kitchen and laundry floors are soooo beautiful. Also, so sad about the hallway walls, they sure are something special! Thanks for sharing this tour with us.

  11. Sabrina says

    Totally see why you fell in love. I’m swoon over the arches, the vintage charm and the endless potential. Can’t see what you do.

  12. Miss Charming says

    The house (in it’s “before” state) is already super cute with such interesting detail. I’m excited to follow along as you transform it into something fantastic! Congrats to you and your family for finding your dream home!

    Fabulous find. Don’t forget to save some of those hand carved panels in tact in case you have a project in the future to use them with. They are pretty cool in and of themselves. Congrats! Can’t wait to see your progress.

    I actually love the carved paneling. Wish I lived closer and I’d come take it down for you! 🙂
    Also I really dig the floor in the laundry room. Looks like it’s in great shape. This house has so much potential, lots of charm. Have fun!

  20. Kristina says

    So adorable!! I’d almost want to keep a chunk of that wood paneling to frame as a little keepsake. 🙂
    I’d kill to have that big of a window in my living room, so much natural light!

  24. Caroline Nolazco says

    oh my gosh I’m so excited for you!!!! im so excited that i get to watch this transformation. what a perfect, adorable, and charming home [love that side porch]. cant wait to see what you come up with!

  28. Gretchen says
