The Living Level

So, here's the second floor! This is probably where we'll be spending most of our time (in life, not in renovation.)

The Living Room
 
 As you walk up from the entry level you enter the living room, which is currently a lovely mustard yellow. Here's a shot facing back towards the stairs. You can see the maroon wallpaper from the entry way. Oh? That lovely fireplace? Nice marblish-looking tile (we don't know what it is) and slate hearth.... The blue can be changed. Thankfully, so can the curtains.

 

If you walk back towards the steps here's view headed upstairs. The house doesn't exactly have an "open" floor plan, but there is a lot of visibility between the rooms and the different floors.

 

Along the wall opposite the bay window. If you look closely you can see the wall paper I'll be stripping off the ceiling soon...

Love the funky details--the arch to go into the dining room.

The Dining Room

Not much to see here. Just lots of pink curtains and pink wallpaper. As soon as the wallpaper's stripped, the window treatments updated, and the whole room is painted it's going to be a pretty drastic change.

The Kitchen

This is the last room on the second floor. It has a lot of work that needs to go into it, but it's functional for the time being. We're not going to bite off more than we can chew right away, so the kitchen will likely stay how it is for a while. I mention some of the things in the kitchen that need a liiiittttle help.

View into the dining room from the kitchen--check out all that cabinet space!

Here's the rest of the kitchen (minus the enormous fridge that we're definitely going to have to replace.) Note those sweet countertops. Also notice the not-so-sweet country tile and FAUX brick with PAINTED grout. Only thing I appreciate about this? The fact that faux brick is likely easier to take down than real brick.

Better shot of the stained glass window in front of the sink.

Shot looking up from the den into the kitchen. You can see the movable island hanging out in the corner. You can also kind of see the door onto the deck. You get a great look at the oddly colored non-regulation rail that will be promptly removed.

Level three coming soon!
