In between the 2 closets in the living room would make a cute office nook. You could grow plants or start seeds for a vegetable garden in the entrance area with all those windows. What direction does the house face? Very cute house. Looks like good bones.
Great ideas! The house faces northeast. We have to take advantage of the windows/sunlight for sure. I love the thought of growing my own food.🌶️ Thank you for watching!🙏🏽🥰
You have Jalousie Windows - typically found in older homes in the South. The lawnmowers - they must have worked and were probably still good for someone to want to save them. Don't discard until you see if they just need fuel. Personally, where I'm staying now, when I walked in - there were soft spots on the floor and an actual hole in the floor covered by an old door😬 There was 💩(????) smeared on the walls & graffiti😬. Regardless, I composed myself & went to Homedepot & got a cheap can of OOPS paint (paint that wasn't quite the color someone was trying to match - in my case it was a powder blue ooops can. I bought it home and painted over the "brown" stuff on the walls. It instantly showed me what was possible in putting effort into the home. One wall, one room gave me hope & a new ooompf to keep going. Long story short - a year later, every wall has been primed & repainted, added inexpensive, but some good mini blinds from Wal-Mart. OSB floor boards were bought one at a time over a span of a few months until all the flooring was purchased. Later I had a carpenter come in and nail them securely, bought 8 X 9 vinyl sheet flooring from Ollies for $29.00. My place looks 1,000 times better. Remember - baby steps - baby steps
I actually like the Jalousie windows. Apparently energy efficiency wasn’t a concern when the house was built😃 I will have the lawn mowers checked for sure. I don’t like tossing something just because it is old or there is a newer model. I grew up learning that from being the youngest of the family and getting my 2 sisters hand-me-downs. Thank you for sharing your experience and your suggestions. Your story is encouraging! It's so inspiring to hear how you turned your own home around. I know rehabbing the house will all happen in due time. Baby steps, indeed. 🥰❤️🙏🏽

You will be pleasde in the end. Renovations can be cumbersome and costly, take your time and just be patient.
Thank you! I am taking my time, and I am trying my best to be patient. 🙌🏽🥰
